Sorry just thought of another girls name that I love but in the end decided it didn't go with our surname.

HarleyQuinn, I love your girls names. Evelyn is lovely but I don't like Evie. So don't think I'll be using it.

Sheharezade (even I can't spell it - think Arabian nights)

Giles for a boy but DH wouldn't let me!!

DH sounds really mean now, which he isn't.

babyphat · 16/02/2010 14:37

Art - as in Art Garfunkel (don't ask me why!), but realised it rhymes with 'fart'. Too cruel??

Allaboutme - I love Indiana...but our surname is Jones Also love Dakota for a girl but DH said he thinks it sounds like we are trying too hard to have a name like Indiana.

Popped back to add Hunter to my boys list. DH loves this one but my mum pulled a face when we told her! Although she is in my corner on my choice of girls name should we have another so can't be too cross that she put us off Hunter! Moral of that story is never tell anyone your name choices in advance of baby being born!

minouminou · 16/02/2010 14:03

Oh god.....
Right
Tostig
Ulysses
Stigan
Evangeline (but I'd hate the shortenings)
Zeke
Only really have one girl's name.
I'm really thinking about #3, but DP says no chance.
But if we move soon........................

When I was 14 I announced that I would call my future daughters Cheyenne and Sioux. My Mum said "you'll change your mind". Sadly, she was right...

Drizzle!

monkeycat · 16/02/2010 13:34

We were very tempted by Hero or Io for DD2 .

I still look at her and think of those names occasionally but I love the name we gave her and it is quite unusual enough for where we live .

Also really like Atticus for a boy , but think that would have ended up as a middle name in reality .

Boy

River
Wolf
Bear
Tiger
Mungo
