We have a baby bean due in November and we're not finding out the sex of this baby so thinking about girls and boys names

Girls (middle name would be Patricia and then I have a really common last name on the same lines of smith)

Dahlia-Raine
Alice
Hattie
Addison
Wren
Blair
Juniper
River
Meredith
Callie

Boys (we already have a Louis (Lou-ee) , middle name would be Alexander)

James
Finn
Jack
Ezra

To be honest we need some suggestions for boys, took forever to name our son.

Please help Smile

I guess I am trying to look at more "unusual" names because our last name is so common - hmmm

alexdgr8 · 02/05/2022 14:26

among the girl's, the only name i recognise as a proper name is
alice.
the rest are comical/nicknames.
boys, do not use finn. avoid surnames. james is good.
what about other biblical names, isaiah, isaac, jacob, daniel, joseph, elijah, jeremiah, josiah, joshua, david, jonathan, peter, philip, thomas, paul, zachary/zachariah, theodore.

I like all your boys names any would be nice and go with your other sons name and I like Alice, Juniper and Callie.

I like Dahlia on its own but its a bit of a mouthful with rayne stuck on.

Similar vibe names could be Juno, Lilith and Gaia

sandalsinbohemia · 02/05/2022 14:13

I love Juniper

I also like all your boys names but if I had to pick it would be James

I like the Grey's Anatomy names - Meredith, Callie and Addison (in that order). You should have Derek or George for a boy Grin

I've only seen season 1, that's where I got Meredith and Addison from Blush - didn't know about Callie! Haha

George and Louis seems a bit too royal don't cha think

Although I could always fall off the wagon all together and call him mcdreamy - so people know I'm an fan Grin (just kidding!)

Also thank you everything, I have a while to keep looking.

Bit sad Dahlia was a no go but I have time :)

Dahlia and Addison are nice but might also like Addalyn. Ezra for a boy.

Mumofgirls2017 · 02/05/2022 13:35

Alice, Wren, Juniper or Callie

james or Finn

HollyOfTheBongs · 02/05/2022 13:32

Dahlia-Raine - horrendous
Addison - ditto
Blair - very bad
Wren, Juniper, River - ditto
Meredith and Callie (Caroline) - not really
Alice and Harriet - very nice

James - fine
Finn - too common
Jack - ok
Ezra - too reminiscent of Pound

Henry? George? William? Christopher?

FayCarew · 02/05/2022 13:25

Dahlia-Raine - Daily Rain - No
Alice - yes
Hattie - yes if short for Harriet
Addison - dreadful
Wren - No
Blair - horrible
Juniper - no
River - no
Meredith - horrible
Callie - ok if short for Caroline

James - yes
Finn - nice but no
Jack - know too many
Ezra - no

They’re not really my vibe if I’m honest but I actually think Dahlia-Raine or Juniper are lovely.

For boys, every other one I have met recently seems to be Arlo, Ezra or Teddy. How about Laurence, Laurie for short, to go with Louis? Or is that too close? Maybe Milo.

LightningAndRainbows · 02/05/2022 13:11

More boys suggestions:

George
Max
Callum

LightningAndRainbows · 02/05/2022 13:10

Dahlia-Raine - awful
Alice - ok
Hattie - prefer Harriet with Hattie as a nickname
Addison - no
Wren - there are a few of these around but it's nice
Blair - no
Juniper - no
River - absolutely not
Meredith - no
Callie - I like this

James - nice, a classic
Finn - no, very much a trendy now name
Jack -nice, classic
Ezra - no, hate it
