So we have a yellow bump I'm due 27th Oct. Although a yellow bump we are for some reason convinced we are having a boy. As a result are really strugling on girls names.

Boys:

Stanley - Would be shortented to Stan
Finley - Shortened to Fin

Finley was our fav but think its a bit common. Stan is really growing on me.

Girls:

Aisha - When trying to concive we always said if we had a girl she would be Aisha but now we have said it to a few people and not got the best reactions

Eve - My dad loves this name I quite like it too

Let me know which ones you think. More sujestions would also be welcomed too especially girls names.

Thanks

I like Aisha better

I REALLY think you should go with what you like, not your dad...(kwym though!)

pointydog · 30/07/2009 15:42

Eve is lovely.

Finlay is ok.

Quite like Stan.

LyraSilvertongue · 30/07/2009 15:41

Stan and Eve. Aisha is a bit chavvy.

teddygirl23 · 30/07/2009 15:38

finn and eve sorry dont like the others.

HollyBunda · 30/07/2009 15:37

sorry, Stanley is awful.
I like Eve though.

MaybeAfterBreakfast · 30/07/2009 15:30

What about Fintan or Finbar, which can both be shortened to Fin? Finley = Fire Station (and a bit too popular here).

Eve too popular here (also Evie)

Don't like Aisha at all.

Stanley could be quite cool.

gladders · 30/07/2009 15:28

LOVE Stanley / Stan - this is top of my list if there is ever a ds2. it's the only name i heard after namng ds1 that i wished i'd used...

Fin - is quite sweet - but vvv popular round here

Aisha - don't like, there'd be all kinds of spelling issues?

Eve - sweet but again v popular. Eva/Ava mor unusual?

NotanOtter · 30/07/2009 15:24

sorry but no to the boys names here too

Aisha great - lots and lots of eves out there

janeite · 30/07/2009 15:23

I like Eve a lot and don't mind Aisha.
Don't like the boys' names though, sorry.

SoupDragon · 30/07/2009 15:19

Finlay & Eve

kitsmummy · 30/07/2009 15:17

Is Aisha pronounced Asha? If so, I like it.

Prefer Stan. Finlay's quite common these days, as is Eve and Evie

GrendelsMum · 30/07/2009 15:06

Stanley and Aisha

schmo · 30/07/2009 13:45

I personally like Finlay and Eve (also like Eva).

A friend nearly picked Stanley for her little boy and really really regrets not having it!

Stanley & Eve are a good choice

Finley and Eve

schneebly · 30/07/2009 13:30

Stanley and Eve

ForExample · 30/07/2009 13:28

Finlay/Finley is very popular atm. You need to chose a name that you (and dp of course!) really love, not your Dad, imvho

Ladyem · 30/07/2009 13:25

I love Eve and Stanley! They are both so cool and timeless!

I know LOADS of Finley/Finlay's at the moment, so I'd stay clear of that one.

A yellow bump means we do not know the sex of our baby

SixtyFootDoll · 30/07/2009 12:33

what is a yellow bump?

LouMacca · 30/07/2009 12:29

Out of your choices I too would go for Finley and Eve.

How about Ava rather than Eve? Like Evie but its very popular now.
