Dc2 is due in November and we have no names on the list. Not a single one.
We don’t know the sex of the baby so would love suggestions for both.

I work with children and have a huge family which is not helping as it knocks lots out of the running. DH is clueless.

  • Dd1 has a classic name that was uncommon when we named her but has risen in popularity. I seem to like classic girls names.
  • I would prefer less popular but recognisable.
  • I seem to be drawn to biblical boys names but am open to ideas. Again, prefer underused but not too out there.
  • Any name must have good nickname options. I know that mumsnet is often against preplanning this but every name gets shortened in my family and I want to make sure that it is to something that I like.
  • surname is Evan so needs to go with that.

I know that I sound really awkward and probably am but any ideas would be appreciated. Smile
