DH asked me to post this thread lol , because we cannot decide and he is so sure his favs are just of better taste. We don't know the sex yet. He likes the names I like , and I like his. But "my" names just seem more beautiful. PLEASE DECIDE FOR US :

Levi or Daniel
Harper or Mary

Thank youuuu

Daniel.i don't hate Mary but it's not what I would choose.
Levi are a brand of jeans so no.
Harper is common, there's a million and one of them about atm.

Daniel. I guess Mary at a push, but not fussed on either.

Levi... going through life as half a pair of jeans Wink

Yep, Levi and Harper for me too OP.

But what you've got there are two sets of names. Daniel and Mary are classic and biblical.

Levi (whilst biblical) has probably seen a rise over the past 15 years.
Harper I love and was first choice for our baby if our first turned out to be a girl. Alas the Beckham's had their baby Harper 3 months before I was due and I wouldn't have used it based on the stupid "oh like the Beckham's?" comments. I mean I like the Beckhams but I didn't want the rise in popularity of the name!

But I love them both.

No no no. You need to find names you both like. Smile

I think you need to ask the audience of Netmums if you want your own way!

BeesAnkles · 10/12/2020 16:44

I'm with you, OP, Levi and Harper!

isawthat · 10/12/2020 16:44

Daniel and Mary but I like Levi too, just prefer Daniel

EachandEveryone · 10/12/2020 16:43

Is there no room for movement? I know a lovely bloke called Danny and a very gorgeous hipster type called Mary so they would get my vote.
