My partner and I haven't found out the sex of the baby but he or she is due in a few weeks and we are still stuck with baby names... we don't really like the typical UK names but don't want something too out there that he/she will be bullied over.

Send me your suggestions!

@Wigeon

Definitely nothing starting with O, as then they’ll be “O(h) Darling”.
Ah, I got that anyway with C Darling!

Ooo I like PP's suggestion of Henrietta!

Will shoot my self in the face if I see another baby name thread with Aurelia, Vivienne or Violet suggested.

Running names through in my head for girls i feel 3 syllable names work such as
Rebecca
Eleanor
Jennifer

Boys names sound good with Darling are

James
Thomas
Benjamin
Oliver
Charles (though that almost seems like Charles Darwin!)

Thanks so much, it definitely gets a fair few comments!

Thanks for the suggestions, I quite like Otto and Frederick but the latter is probably a little posh sounding...

@MaverickDanger

My first thoughts were Henry or George and Emma or Tess.

I don’t think you can go for something too cutesy or nicknamey.

Thank you for the suggestions, they're a bit too 'normal' for us I'm afraid
