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 and Mary 100%

AdelaideK · 10/12/2020 18:24

I'm not fussed on any sorry but I'd go for Levi and Harper.

Mary is bloody awful. So frumpy and dull. Daniel ok but very common.

Levi and Mary

I irrationally dislike Daniel, and Harper always feels like a boys name to me.

ShameMacGowan · 10/12/2020 18:18

Mary is the coolest name ever. I adore it. And Daniel out of the boys names.

Daniel and Mary

IdblowJonSnow · 10/12/2020 18:11

It's irrelevant. Go with your choice, why on earth would you not get the casting vote after going through pregnancy and birth!

  • Obviously the ideal scenario is you both like the same name. Otherwise...

Daniel and Mary

maureenfrombarnsley · 10/12/2020 18:05

Daniel and Mary, out of those options.

Tbh I'm not keen on any but Levi is awful.

Firebird83 · 10/12/2020 18:02

Daniel and Mary.

Levi and Harper are chavvy, sorry.

Echobelly · 10/12/2020 18:00

Daniel or Mary - surprise people by doing something less popular these days!

Daniel and mary

Lucy830 · 10/12/2020 17:53

Daniel and Mary.

itssquidstella · 10/12/2020 17:51

I only like Mary tbh. Daniel is better than Levi if it's between those two, though.

Lesserspottedmama · 10/12/2020 17:50

They are all nice. But sadly in the U.K. in this era Levi just has too many chav connotations I’m afraid. Otherwise it would be a lovely name.

fashu · 10/12/2020 17:49

Daniel for me.
I do like Mary, but I think it's an older name.

happymummy12345 · 10/12/2020 17:48

Daniel (our son is Daniel. Was our only boys name).
Not keen on any others but I'd choose Mary if I had to

jellybellydancers · 10/12/2020 17:45

I really like Levi. Not keen on either of the girl names, sorry.

EugenesAxe · 10/12/2020 17:43

Of those, Daniel and Mary, but not hugely enamoured with latter. Sounds a bit frumpy, as others have said.

pontiouspilates · 10/12/2020 17:42

I like Levi and Daniel (Daniel is best IMO) I don't care for either of the girls names.

bitheby · 10/12/2020 17:42

I only like Levi of those 4. Really not keen on Harper but don't like Mary either.

FrancesHaHa · 10/12/2020 17:42

Daniel's fine.

Levi makes me think of Levi Bellfield unfortunately

LadyLovelyLockz · 10/12/2020 17:39

Another vote for Daniel and Mary
