Thank you @Leopardprintboots. We have decided on Toby. It’s nice to have a name for the bump! Thank you to everyone who made suggestions/comments!

Nora and Jude for me from your list!

MrsBertBibby · 06/10/2019 09:01

Oh not Jude! It is so ugly, and will encourage people to sing Hey Jude, which is never OK.

Zachary is really faddy, I think. Stick with Tobias, or just Toby. Great name.

Thanks for all your suggestions/opinions!
For a girl I’m swaying towards Claudia or Felicity. I think I slightly prefer Claudia but I am slightly put off by the meaning. Not sure how concerned I am though as I think it’s a beautiful name! Would the meaning of a name put you off?

Boys I’m thinking probably Jude or Tobias but now adding Zachary into the mix!

What your thoughts now OP @blondie87
I really like the names you’ve got on your shortlist. Not sure you need to keep looking elsewhere but some suggestions above anyway

Jellycat00 · 05/10/2019 08:56

Claudia is lovely. I like Nora too, although prefer the spelling Norah as it seems to make it softer somehow.
I love Arthur and Benjamin. Not so keen on the other boys names.

Other ideas - Nadia, Tamsin, Nell, Harriet.
George, Finn, Ethan or Evan.

emilybrontescorsett · 05/10/2019 07:17

Claudia and Tobias would be my choice.
