7 weeks to go and I can't get DH to discuss names so I'm asking MN for opinions. He was the same with our first and whilst we ended up with a name I love I want to be a bit more prepared. Open to other ideas

Boys

Arthur
Rupert
Sebastian
Oscar

Girls

Thea
Clara
Martha
Ruby
Evelyn/Evie/Eva
Elsie / Elspeth

There are a zillion Evies and Elsies so I'd avoid them. Arthur and Oscar too. They're ten a penny.

I like Clara and Rupert.

I prefer the boys names. Clara goes with them. Not sure about the others.

Chocolatecake12 · 25/09/2018 19:09

From your list I like Oscar and Clara.
Other suggestions:
Joel
Saul
Robert
Isaac

Nancy
Annie
Harriet
Victoria

Rupert is my favourite.
Then Oscar and Arthur.
I'm not keen on Sebastian.

I like Thea most.
I also like Ruby, Clara, Evelyn and Elspeth (but really dislike Elsie, Eva/Evie, which weaken the names a lot, in my opinion)
I'm not keen on Martha, but it's OK.

I like Arthur and Clara. How about Quentin or Anna?

Sophronia · 25/09/2018 18:46

I like Arthur and either Elspeth or Martha
