Baby due any second!! And we still don't have names we're completely in love with - starting to get a bit stressed out!!

So far for girls our shortlist (or names we both haven't veto'd!) is:

Mia
Eva
Diana
Matilda (Tillie?)

And for boys we have

Thomas (Tommy)
Jack
Max
Hugo
Andrew

Any votes? (Or better suggestions?!)

DH also really likes Elijah, which I'm not 100% on, and I also like Anna and Holly, which he's not really 100% on....

My order of preference

  1. Mia - I LOVE this name.
  2. Eva - Very classic and pretty BUT there are an awful lots of Evies around...
  3. Matilda (Tillie?) - but prefer Tilda.
  4. Diana - just feels very bland and old-fashioned to me.
  1. Thomas (Tommy) - nice as both a grown-up and child name.
  2. Hugo - smart!
  3. Jack - Ok
  4. Max - Meh
  5. Andrew - Nice enough name but feels dated - I know too many who are my own age - 40s/50s.

All good names, although I still associate Diana with THE Diana.

My favourites are Eva and Mia, Jack and Max.

I love Anna and Holly as well. Elijah always sounds very biblical to me so less keen on that.
