I read Joby as Jobby, giggled uncontrollably and read it out to DH. Please don’t do that to a child!

Lydia, Nancy and Sadie ( short for? )
None of the boys names: sorry

Doilooklikeatourist · 28/02/2019 19:15

Lydia or Verity
Tobias
I don’t like any of the others ( but it’s not my baby )

zen1 · 28/02/2019 19:12

Josiah?

Nnnnnineteen · 28/02/2019 19:10

Love Sadie, Nancy and Eloise. Tobias is ok.

ImportantWater · 28/02/2019 19:05

I think Lydia is my stand out favourite from the girls list. I don’t have a stand out from the boys but like Tobias and Caleb and Isaiah, although he will have fun spelling that.

MollyHuaCha · 28/02/2019 19:01

Lydia - nice
Sadie - no, it's too casual
Hallie - no (ditto)
Verity - maybe
Nancy - no
Eloise - maybe
Mabel - maybe
Larosa - no
Lyla - no

Joby - maybe
Tobias - yes
Caleb - maybe
Lennon - no
Albie - absolutely not
Bryson - no no no
Isiah - yes

Winifredgoose · 28/02/2019 18:58

I like Lydia or Nancy. I'm not sure about you boys list, but prob they are just not my taste. I think Caleb is probably the nicest.

bbysittingNC · 28/02/2019 18:55

Girls-
Sadie
Hallie

Boys-
Sorry, I struggle with boys names myself and really don't like any. I suppose Albie is ok but surely it would be Albert and Albie just a nn?

I love Sadie and Hallie though, somehow girls names just come easier to me! X
Congrats

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 28/02/2019 18:54

I like all your names except Hallie and Larosa, Joby (sorry, but wtf?) and Bryson. Other than those aberrations, you seem to have excellent taste. I particularly like Verity...

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 28/02/2019 18:52

Nancy, Sadie, Tobias

LifeCasting · 28/02/2019 18:48

Lydia, Mabel, Tobias

Shadow1234 · 28/02/2019 18:47

Eloise, Lyla and Caleb

daisypond · 28/02/2019 18:42

Lydia -nice
Sadie -OK, but I prefer Sarah with Sadie as a nickname.
Hallie - no
Verity -yes
Nancy -OK.
Eloise -OK
Mabel -no
Larosa -no
Lyla -no

Joby - no
Tobias -yes
Caleb -ok
Lennon - no
Albie -no
Bryson -no
Isiah -no, unless spelled properly as Isaiah, but I'm not keen.

Arowana · 28/02/2019 18:29

I like Lydia and Isaac

PuzzlingPuzzle · 28/02/2019 18:28

God my DH suggested Emmet too 😂
Thankfully we had a girl!

(I should clarify no offence is meant to any parents of small Emmets it was just a) his only suggestion and b) my name starts with an ‘Em’ sound so it would have been completely ridiculous)

Barbarafromblackpool · 28/02/2019 18:11

Tobias
Lydia

I like Tobias but hate Toby and I'm guessing that's what it will get shortened too 🙈 the only boys name dh has mentioned is emmet from the Lego movie 🙈 so he's fully useless 😬

BibbityBobbityEars · 28/02/2019 18:06

Lydia, Sadie

Not keen on the boys names. Tobias at a push.
