Hi!

I’m 28 weeks and decided not to find out whether it’s a boy or a girl. DH and I are utterly clashing on names and can’t agree on anything!

I’d love your opinions on the following as I am falling down a Pinterest hole and need a reality check...names below are on the reasonable list!

For a boy -
Lysander
Blythe (although is this unisex as I like it for either?)
Laurence (Laurie for short)

For a girl -
Posie
Ramona
Sage
Aurelie

Step away from Pinterest & start again.

What names does your husband like?

I like Laurie/Laurence.

Blythe I've only seen used for girls.

Of your girls names while it is unusual I like Sage.

Not Posie, far too twee. Sage is nice as is Lysander.

I like your girl names except for Sage. Boy names are dreadful, Laurence is the best though.

Blythe is a girls name

Not a massive fan of Posie - I just can’t see it on an adult woman - but otherwise great!

Laurence but Laurie for a boy. I'm not keen on your girls names, sorry.

I love Laurence/Laurie, and like Aurelie.

Blythe is nice for a girl, if not particularly my style, but I don’t like it for a boy.

I like all your boy names - only really like Aurelie on your girls list.
