Dh and I are really stuck for names, we have a ds named Hamish (we are scottish but just liked the name). We don't know if this lo will be a boy or girl.

I love the name MIa but our surname begins with m and it sounds daft.

The only other name we have is Zara, but I don't love it.

Any suggestions welcome, thanks.

I LOVE the name Mia Mitchell! Its fab! Like Isla, Freya too and Rory is great

smartiejake · 14/05/2008 22:05

Carys is a lovely name.

Mia is lovely. Another option might be Amelia which can be shortened to Mia (one of dds friends does this)

Mia Mitchell is a fab name! Its got a really nice ring to it

Iona would go beautifully with Hamish.

There is nothing wrong with Mia Mitchell at all. It sounds fine to me.

smartiejake · 14/05/2008 19:19

One of my friends has a ds called Rory- always thought that was quite a good scottish name.

Me too!cheesesarnie dh said he didn't like noah, but if worse comes to worse I will play the hormonal post birth card!!

I loved freya when pregnant with ds but told my mum and she said 'that lovely frah' and it really put me off, if her own gren can't pronounce it what hope have others got.

Keep coming with the ideas, this is great!

jamila I agree on seeing what baby looks like - my DS hadn't got a name for about two weeks! Then we found the perfect name for him.

Hi rolf I guess us June ladies must be lurking the baby name threads! Haven't made it back to 1870 yet, but certainly 1900 are def coming back ie eva, grace etc

I am hoping that will work jamila but worried that baby might be nameless for weeks! Mind you dh might be more open to my choices if I have just given birth to his child!

why don't you wait until the baby's born and see what he/she looks like? I had no idea when it came to naming my girls, Amy was 12 hours without a name until it came to me when i'd had a real good study of her, and Ella was nameless for 2 days (i'd decided after half a day, but DH thought it wasn't a real name[shrugs shoulders])

Hi Katyjo and G43 . Mia and Benjamin are both lovely names. We are still without a baby name although we are now focusing on a list of names popular in the 1870s, which seems to be our era!

Someone menioned my top 2 girls' names: Thea and Clara. I LOVE them but they don't sound good with our surname.

dizzydixies · 13/05/2008 22:26

Fionn for a boy
freya for a girl?
