We are due our first baby in June and cannot agree on names at all. We don’t know whether baby is a boy or a girl. Part of the problem is that neither is us have any names that we really like.

Our surname is Evan which is tricky as some names end up sounding a bit odd. I would love to hear what you would call a baby with our surname.

I like Beatrice. But dh pulled this Confused face when I said it.
There are some nice names here but none of them are MY baby’s name.
Sorry, I think that I might be a bit fussy.

I think you avoid names ending with an -a sound, so Julie, not Julia; Eleanor, not Ella; Katie, not Cara. The sound of a name when it rolls together is half the battle, imo

Kevin
Or
Beibhinn

Only joking!
What about : Alina for a girl

By the way, Ben is the dog and it’s the name that he came from the rescue with.
‘Ben’s mum’ is the name that I’ve been given by the local dog walkers.
