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!

My favourite name for girls are:

Elizabeth (my favourite book of all time is P&P, but my husband is not really keen on the name)
Madeline (also inspired by the books, however, could have a slight bad connotation?)

Boys favourite names are:
Oliver
Orson

@Tillygetsit snap with Demelza! I love that, but could never have used it with my surname. I had a boy anyway.

Nikita on a girl (but I'm not brave enough to use it, as it's not my usual more classic style).

My favourite girls name ever is Demelza. Got vetoed by both dhs! I currently love Lemuel for a boy. That would probably go the same way

My favourite girls' name of all time is Emma.

I have three boys so didn't get to use it.

Well surely it's your DC's names which would be too outing Wink but then I suppose I would have chosen differently if I don't have to agree with DH.

When I was little I wanted to have girl twins called Tabitha & Matilda ( Tilly & Milly.) When I was a teenager I assumed I'd only have only child and wanted a boy called Henry.
