Love Jude. I like Raphaela but it might be a bit much. Annalise is lovely. I've only known a couple of Annalises but they've both gone by Anna or Annie which are both lovely too but be aware in case you don't like shorternings

TheDaydreamBelievers · 26/12/2020 15:16

Annalise is the best of those three girls names - Raphaela is too much and Theodora is too like Tabitha.

Both Jude and Caleb are lovely boys names, though rather less floral than Reuben

@mysa74 your girls names are beautiful! Especially love Melody Emma!

Looking on other name boards and also quite like
Annalise, Raphaela and Theodora for girls and Jude and Caleb for boys.
What do you think of these? Are the girl names a bit OTT? I think with Tabitha it is quite easy to cross the line into 'too much' so want to be careful (maybe a simpler name like Mary or Esther would be better?).

Just remembered, 3 boys name on my list was Tristan, I found girls names a lot easier to pick, luckily!

Mysa74 · 26/12/2020 14:27

I pronounce Malachi as Mala-K-eye... It was on my boys list with Alexander and another that I've forgotten, lol.

I have a baby Tabitha (Alana) and her sisters are Verity (Sophia) and Melody (Emma). The middle names are in memory of my dad and my husband's grandparents.
Baby names are hard!

3 suggestions of Bob? Unexpected! Or is it some Mumsnet code that I don't understand? Grin

There are so many beautiful names on here - it's making me want to have sevefal more babies just to use the names! (Just kidding, enough is enough! Haha.)

For girls, LOVE Jemima(h) - is it too twee with Tabitha though? A bit Beatrix Potter?
I also love Mary, Lucy, Esther, Harriet, Clara, Martha, Imogen and Naomi!

And for boys Louis, Jasper, Nathaniel, Felix and Moses is very cool! How is Malachi pronounced? Is it like ma-la-kai or ma-la-key?

I also like the 'A' names but my surname is very 'A' heavy so they won't work Sad

Thank you so much everyone, so many lovely suggestions! (I aftually like many more than I have mentioned but a few have already been used by family and friends and so had to strike them off immediately Sad
