I'm on to the next phase. Dogs.
Working through my boys names as we had many daughters!

A few of these are on my list for DC2 (currently brewing) - Clementine, Seraphina, Persephone.

I live Cosmo, Lysander and Fox for a boy but will never get those past DP.

I have an Arthur and it suits him perfectly.

@Batinthehouse
I know someone who has two children with those exact names. What a bizarre coincidence!

I love the name Analeigh but alas, am wary of pronunciation mischief.

FlamingoDust · 17/06/2022 16:27

I love the name Stanley. But we live in a place called Stanley. And I wouldn’t want him to be Stanley from Stanley 🤣

MrsMitford3 · 15/06/2022 14:04

Just came on too see how many times my DD name appeared twice

I always loved Angharad. I am not Welsh-nor is DH.

Brightonbelle87 · 15/06/2022 13:52

Love looking through these names, so much variety! I'm due end December for baby no. 1 but it's too early to know the sex. Think we have boy name sorted but for a girl I'm stumped. There's lots on here I like though. Would love something strong sounding rather than 'illie' or 'ollie' at the end. But then it'll be up to her if she wants that as a nickname I guess.

How do people make the final decision?!

Iliada · 15/06/2022 11:28

Ebenezer.

I really love it but I would worry that it might be a bit cruel to name a kid this. Especially at Christmas time.

MrsSamRowley · 14/06/2022 10:16

Bertie & Monty were our 2 boys names but our 2nd child (21 weeks pregnant at the mo) is also a girl and she will be our last.

Girls names I don't think we're quite brave enough for/my husband doesn't like!:

Persephone
Ianthe
Pandora
Seraphina
Cassandra
Isadora
