Which do you like best...?

Hi, I’m expecting DC3 in the next 2 or 3 weeks; we don’t know the sex.

I would be really interested to hear thoughts on both my boy and girl shortlists. DH likes all of these too (although is less keen on Delilah and Samuel) but neither of us have a clear favourite.

Please can you help by picking your favourites?

Delilah
Romilly
Imogen
Diana
Hero
Mina
Matilda

Vincent
Gabriel
Samuel

TIA!

I really like Mina though i think i prefed it spelt Meena personally. Its really pretty and i've never met one
From your boys i like Samuel best but second the suggestion of Samson

Romilly is lovely! Might pinch that for my list!

KellyBailey · 02/07/2018 13:05

Matilda and Samuel.

Cosmoa · 02/07/2018 13:03

Romilly and Samuel are my favourites!

I love Delilah so much, but it is the bad associations putting us off (DH more than me).

Would be interested to hear if anyone out there has (or is) a Delilah and what responses they get?

Matilda or Delilah, and Samuel.
I really don't like Vincent, or the shortened versions such as Vinnie or Vince.

Thanks for all the responses so far Smile

My other children are Aria (named before it became popular) and Alfred. So no more A names!

Delilah - No. Pretty but bad associations
Romilly - No.
Imogen - Not keen sorry and dislike Immy
Diana - beautiful
Hero - too much to live up to
Mina - Mean-a
Matilda - a bit too popular

Vincent - no
Gabriel - no
Samuel -yes

Diana and Samuel

Romilly and Hero are my favourites from your list.

I don't like Delilah or Mina. Matilda is lovely but already quite popular.

Vincent is my favourite from your list, but the others are fine too.

Fivelittleduckies · 02/07/2018 12:39

Definitely helps to know your other kids’ names.

From your list I like Samuel and Delilah

Lobsterquadrille2 · 02/07/2018 12:37

Delilah, Matilda and Samuel.

Scottishgirl85 · 02/07/2018 12:36

There are a million Immys around and Diana seems quite old fashioned and will be shortened to Di, my MIL's name!

Icklepup · 02/07/2018 12:36

Romilly or Imogen
Vincent

Scottishgirl85 · 02/07/2018 12:34

Matilda or Delilah, and Samuel. Not so keen on the others. What are your other dcs called? Good luck!

Stringofpearls · 02/07/2018 12:33

If it's a girl Delilah is lovely and Diana is also nice, but not sure about the nn Do, which she may well end up being called. Would you consider Samson rather than Samuel? I think it sounds nicer, having Samson or Delilah as your final two would be interesting - I guess as you aren't having twins it wouldn't matter though!
