I'm now two weeks away from the big day, don't know if it's a boy or girl and haven't given names much thought. Could I get some brutally honest opinions on these to help me cut the list down? The boys list is a bit thin, could do with some ideas...

Girls:
Lois
Iris
Aneka
Penelope (long shot)

Boys:
Monty
Sonny
Ari

Gosh, boys names are always more difficult I think, 14 hours after he was born we chose Adam although it was Louis until DS was born and he didn't look like a Louis!

Are girls name was always Nimah (pron. neave) right from the start, although the two weren't linked like in the Bible (lol) Adam was a friends name who very cheekily recommended it himself and we liked it so much, we decided it was his name

I'm afraid being brutally honest, I don't like any of them except maybe Penelope.

Girls:
Lois - no
Iris - yes
Aneka - no
Penelope (long shot) - yes

Boys:
Monty - no
Sonny - definite no
Ari - no

Sorry - if you like unusual names, how about Myers for a boy. It was my Grandad's name and I would have liked to have used it if DD had been a boy.
