i know it's been done to death, and i'm not even planning another dc for a long time (or possibly ever) but i love different names and i think it is interesting to see what names other people like!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

@espressoontap ah I’m so glad! Good taste. One is my DDs name but I wish we had used both.

I have one of these. I absolutely love the name and makes my heart sing when I see it written down and know she's ours 💞

Madeline, I've loved it since the film as a child. Unfortunately dp has bad associations with it.

I love it but its impossible in the UK

If I’m judging by longevity, probably Eve for a girl and Gabriel for a boy. They’ve both been stalwarts on the list for as long as I can remember.

Absolute wild card and I'd never use it but I love Tiger Lily for a girl. I remember being about 10 and reading my mums Hello magazine that had a spread about the Geldofs and being absolutely entranced by their names, especially Tiger Lily known as Tiger. I would have loved to be called Tiger and thought it was so cool

Jasper and Adeline - both of which were ruled out by my husband unfortunately!

CaffiSaliMali · 29/04/2021 08:40

Esyllt for a girl, Welsh for Iseult. I can't use it as it doesn't work in England due to the aspirated L. Also DH would never agree.

Harder to choose for a boy, probably Osian.

I love the name Aurelie/Orly but was worried it would sound to much like orally since we are not French.
Also love the name Camille and the nn Cami but again the pronunciation would never be right...
All my fav boys names were taken by my many male relatives:
Dan, Ben, Joel, Jake, Max
