So many, am attempting to narrow down a bit. Am aware that some aren't hugely traditional and I'm totally ok with that.

Of the girls ones I like:
Serena (but what about Selina too?)
Clara (I REALLY like this)
Ingrid

I only like Valentine of the middle name options.

For the boys I'm afraid I only like Rafferty and that's only lukewarm. What about Ziggy rather than Iggy?

Of the names on the list these are the ones I personally like.

Sorry not keen on any of the middle names

To go with Rudy, I like Valentine for a girl and Lucien for a boy 👍🏻

Bumbl · 20/08/2020 23:17

Gabriel for a boy? I like most of your names for what it's worth!

My thoughts are how did you manage to create such big lists full of awful names?

I love Rocco. DH is a flat no.

What about Rocco for a boy?

Rocco Valentine sounds great imo.

Sod it, am keeping it on the list.
Yay.
SleepingStandingUp · 20/08/2020 22:52

Then it'll be ironic and cool still. I had Lilith on my list bit had all boys. Wanted Lucien for a boy bit the woman at school beat me to it. Her daughter is in with my son, the boys would be a yr apart. Felt too close. So had to thick all to be ones

I know it is! And part of me is like oooooo Lilith Moon. And then what if she's just really cheerful and likes colourful things?

I think am probably pushing it to peak goth with Velvet too.

@bobloblawlawblog

I'm the first to put my hands up to being a massive goth but I reckon even I can't get away with Lilith Moon. I'm taking Lilith Moon off the table.
Why?????? That's an AMAZING name.

If your DH is Portuguese, it makes sense to use a name that is easy to say in both languages.

Angel2702 · 20/08/2020 22:38

Valentine as a first name for a boy is definitely a contender now I think

Audrey and Rudy are way too close aren't they you're right! Don't like Audra though
