I am only just pregnant and have a long way to go yet but as its now "official" I thought I would draw up a short list of names. We already have a ds named Finlay.

Girls:
Annabel, Aoife, Emmeline, Eliza, Francesca, Isabella, Matilda, Olivia, Polly, Tabitha.

Boys:

Archie, Angus, Edmund, Felix, Gregory, Harry, Louis, Oliver, Rory, Tobias.

I know that some of them are quite popular but I'm not too fussed about that.

What is the Mumsnet verdict?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I am also toying with Matilda but previous mumsnet verdict seems to be that it is now quite popular - love it though. All your girls names are quite "posh" (which I love) but I would be interested to know whether you plan to use any shortened names eg I like Annabel shortened to Annie but hate Francesca shortened to Frankie or Isabella shortened to Izzie ....

Boys - my faves are harry, oliver and felix. I really don't like edmund (although love Ted!)

I would avoid Isabella and Olivia - they've been extremely popular over the past couple of years and there are loads of them.

I'm not at all keen on Archie, Annabel, Emmeline or Polly but there aren't any dreadful ones in the list
