I know there’s been a trend for names like Noah and Moses which I’m not massively keen on, but a lot of New Testament names seem very dated to the 70s/80s such as Paul, Mark, Luke etc.
We already have a Benjamin and I like Thomas but DH knows a lot of Thomases! I’m racking my brains trying to think of a similar biblical name to Benjamin and Thomas and can’t - Matthew is OK and doesn’t seem as dated in my mind as the others but I just don’t seem to like it much, no real reason!
Girls are also proving difficult. DH likes Hannah but that also seems a bit dated to me - not sure why. We both like Anna, and Lucy. A lot of girls names we like are already taken by close friends! So any suggestions would be good.
