We prefer less usual names but nothing wacky, and (dare I say it) chavvy.

Not beginning with N, M, B or J.

Boys and girls names appreciated as we don't know what we're having.

Thanks!

Nathaniel is great — it was on our shortlist. Ended up going with an M name, but other names on our shortlist:

Thomas
Peter
Reuben
Seth

For girls, we liked:

Anna
Lara
Tessa
Caroline
Hannah

That’s fine. I just don’t understand why people have to chime in and give their two cents, if OP Doesn’t like suggestions that’s of course absolutely fine. I don’t know how many times I see names that I really don’t like, but I don’t quote people and be rude. I scroll and move on 🤷🏼‍♀️
I have a friend who has a Nathaniel and Kai and they’re lovely little boys ☺️

@drspouseunnecessary and rude comment to some name suggestions but ok 😂

Not 100% wrong though although chavtastic is not a nice way to put it.

But come on.. Nathaniel and...Kai? Nathaniel and Preston? Nope 😂! Op said she didn't want anything like that

(Disclaimer it's all personal taste etc etc)

Thank you all for the suggestions - some lovely choices here, including my own name and some family members names! It's opened up a few conversations between me and my husband, so thank you for the food for thought!
