Evening lovelies ♥️

So I'm due my first little one in May, and we find out the gender in 3 weeks. OH and I have started making some lists, however they are quite long!

Could you let me know your favourite 3 from both our boys and girls lists please 🌟

I have a top three personally, but there's only a couple OH agree on totally!

🌿
Austin
Max
Sonny
Arlo
Sebastian
Felix
Arthur
Elijah
Ezra

🌸
Iris
Lyla
Maya
Thea
Eliza
Elsie
Maeve
Myla

Thank you 😘

Love your lists! We have very similar taste, also due next May! 💛 Arlo is currently our favourite boy and Thea favourite girl from your lists x

I find boys' names really difficult and I'm not overly keen on any on your list (or mine, to be honest!) I'd probably go for Arthur, Sebastian and Sonny, though Sonny would have to be a nickname for something e.g. Orson. Other names you might like: Isaac, Ellis, Theo, Auden.

I love Iris and like Thea a lot. Maya would probably be my third choice. Other suggestions: Lyra, Ivy, Thora, May, Elise, Alice.

In order:

Austin
Arthur
Elijah

Love love Thea and quite like Maya and then I guess Elsie.

IckleBear · 22/11/2020 19:08

Elijah, Max, Felix
Thea, Eliza, Maeve

I have to say Sebastian for a boy (that's what we were going to call ours had she not been a girl) and Eliza for a girl as it was on our list of middle names 😊

@DontFadeAway don’t forget about Tegan! I love that name so you have to add it to the list just to keep me happy!😂 great names by the way!😁

Austin - the Austin I know is a delight but I don't like the name. Place names as names aren't attractive to me
Max - nice but a bit boring
Sonny - I really dislike this.
Arlo - I like this
Sebastian - I love this
Felix - I really like this
Arthur - I like this. I know an awful lot!
Elijah - quite like this
Ezra - really like this

My top three boys would be Sebastian, Ezra and Felix.

🌸
Iris - I love this
Lyla - it's ok. Much prefer Lyra.
Maya - I like it if it's pronounced my-a, dislike may-a
Thea - love love love this
Eliza - love this
Elsie - really like this
Maeve - don't like. Sounds depressing to me
Myla - don't like at all.

My top 3 girls would be Thea, Iris and Eliza. Lyra would beat Eliza if it was on the list.
