What is everyones top 5 for each sex? Not pregnant yet but trying, and we think we have first names picked out for girl and boy but sometimes dot around our top 5. Also open to finding new names to sway me! I'll start:

Boys: Sullivan, Elliot, Archer, Harvey and Hayes

Girls: Lyla/Lylah, Amélie, Nora, Eliot and Joie

@pinkpinecone love Lucas but my sister has said for years that whenever she has a son he will be Lucas so I leave that well alone as not to cause arguments haha!

@Robs20 love your boys names! Your 3 little ones names flow so well together, lovely!

@LotusClover it is hard to pick just 5! We shuffle our top 5 around all of the time but Sullivan is always in there for a boy so we are pretty sure we're set on that it we get lucky enough to get pregnant!

@Pantheon You've got some gorgeous names there, love Theodore and James for boys and Nina and Eva for girls!

@Strokethefurrywall ooh I love that you have a Sullivan, i've literally never met anyone else with that name/with kids with that name so it's good to know that whilst it's not common, it's still getting some love! This is the one we are pretty set on so hopefully some day soon there will be another Sullivan out there!

Also love Dylan for a girl! This used to be on my list but OH said no Envy

@DramaAlpaca still join in!!! I love hearing everyones different tastes in names, there is no right or wrong, you can love whatever you want! I feel like the name Nora totally doesn't fit into the 'theme' of my other names but for some reason I still love it!
