Currently pregnant with my second, not sure if it's a boy or girl yet, and looking for name ideas.
Last name is Smith so want something a bit different although not too different as my husband likes "names that are names" haha 😂
Boy names I like are Arthur, Rowan, Ivor, Finn
Girl names I like are Morgan, Rosa, Freya
All of these have a reason we can't use them, mainly that my husband doesn't like them! 😂

@TheGreatestAtuin definitely have added a good number to the list, especially like Torin, Torben, Oscar and Jasper for boys. And have added loooads of the girls names too. As much as I love the meaning of Rhiannon and the Stevie Knicks link as I'm a massive Fleetwood Mac fan I know a Rhiannon and it never made it on the list because of that, beautiful name though.
We find out what we're having 31st Jan so as soon as we've made a decision I'll update the thread!
Agreed middle names already, Eric Thomas for boys and Siân for girls, just getting the first name sorted 😂

I'm intrigued, was it mentioned and if not what is it? 😂 @TheGreatestAtuin

Lots of beautiful names on this thread - are you any closer to a decision @Flopsy145?

Also came on to say Rhiannon. Stevie always introduces the song with “this is about an old Welsh witch”, which seems to be what you’re after!

Thank you all for your suggestions, definitely got a few to add to the list! We find out what we're having at the end of the month so hopefully will be able to sway him on some of these!

Another vote for Rhiannon

Onelife2024 · 07/01/2024 22:54

I really like your name choices.

I love Hazel or Seren (Welsh for star) for a girl

How about Evan, Owen or Ioan for a boy?

SkaneTos · 07/01/2024 22:35

I am Scandinavian, so I can help with some Scandinavian names.

For a boy
Bjorn (means bear)
Ulf (means wolf)
Torsten/Torkel/Torben (from the Norse god Tor/Thor)

For a girl
Ylva (means wolf)
Sigrid (old Norse name)
Tyra/Thyra (connected to the Norse god Tor/Thor)
Ragna (old Norse name)
Boel/Bodil (from Bothild, an old Norse name)
