Would love to know whay "type" of names people give their dcs - i.e. if people stick to the same thrend or style of name for their DC so they flow well together or if it doesnt really make a difference at all.

I'm due number 2 in January and am almost decided on a name, but have found myself coming to decision by trying all names with dds. Just wondering what others do...

Would love to steal hear some...

I have a Mathilda Beatrice Rose. If I had another girl she would be Josephine Esme Clara and a boy would be Barnaby Ramone or Seth Inigo.

Meggle has the best pairing ever. I just love them.

I have
Samuel Graham

DS has a middle name as he has my brother's name who died on the same day I found out I was pregnant.
DD doesn't have a middle name, as it just felt wrong to give her one that didn't matter quite so much as DS'.

ALWAYSLOOKING

is that true?

bibbitybobbityCAT · 13/10/2009 18:19

I must say I'm absolutely thrilled that Ruby is not over-represented on this thread. That probably makes me very shallow . But it seemed to me, as soon as we brought our dd home from hospital, that absolutely EVERYONE else was choosing her name.

There are some gorgeous names on here.

I love Ronnie! whoever had that one.

lin125 · 13/10/2009 18:15

My dd is Ava May (May is after myself and great granny)

If we have another dd she will be
Sylvie/Vivienne Isobel or for ds Jamie/Jude Lachlan.

My 7y DD is Mollie Olivia.

If I had another girl anytime soon I think ti would either be Martha, Matilda or Florence.

Had DD been a boy she would have been Oliver Joseph. Not sure what I would go for if I had another - I like things like Edward, William, Charlie, Freddie, etc.

SecretSlattern · 13/10/2009 18:01

Idobelieveinfairies, Keenan Luke is very close to mine and DH's surnames! He is Keenan and my surname is Luke with an r added to the end.

DD is Natalie Clare
DS is Daniel Simon

DC3 due in May. Our list currently:

Hannah
Georgia
Charlotte

Haven't got a list of boys names but the one thing I am trying to push is the middle name David (after my lovely Dad, but sadly after DH's bastard Dad so have a bit of fighting to do over that one!)
