Olivia is a very pretty name- quite popular but that shouldn't stop anyone.

I really like Jesse for a boy. It was a possible for me but the boyfriend said no way. He thinks it's a bit wet for a boy. I actually think the opposite but maybe that's because the Jesse's I know are more the all-american jock type!

Olivia/Finn

rimmer08 · 07/11/2009 16:59

mia and danny

Plonker · 05/11/2009 21:39

Mia is gorgeous!
Olivia is ok
Belle is really pretty but I would use Isabel/Annabel

Out of your boys names, I like Danny

SixtyFootDoll · 05/11/2009 21:30

Mia

Danny

Beanigan · 05/11/2009 21:28

Mia & Danny (or Daniel) my faves

doubleexpresso · 05/11/2009 20:53

Belle or Danny. Good luck.

Francasaysrelax · 04/11/2009 21:00

Mia and Danny

Brightfield · 04/11/2009 20:57

Mia & Finn are my favourites. Finn is fine on its own and doesn't need a longer name on the BC IMO.

hellsbelles · 04/11/2009 20:56

love all the names (and have one for my DD!) - but Mia is my favourite (I couldn't use it as close family member is called it)

NowtonTelly · 04/11/2009 20:53

Mia and Danny my favourites.

bluebump · 04/11/2009 20:52

I like all of the names on your list which I don't hear myself saying too often!

PoppyIsApain · 04/11/2009 20:48

Olivia
Jesse

sunshinejanuary · 04/11/2009 20:47

Olivia and Finn are my favourites, although perhaps i would use Finlay on the birth cert and then shorten it to Finn?

JANEITEluddite · 04/11/2009 20:42

Olivia - I like Belle but only as nn for Isobel

Daniel with nn Danny / or Beau
I don't like Finn or Jesse.

BrigitteBardot · 04/11/2009 20:40

Mia and Finn!

birdofthenorth · 04/11/2009 20:38

Mia...love it
Olivia...bit popular
Belle...like it

Danny...like it
Finn...ok
Beau...don't like
Jesse...too girly

Heated · 29/10/2009 12:59

Love Finn and Danny (although I'd use Daniel on the bc personally) - both really strong but friendly names, iykwim. Dh is from an area where Jesse is still an insult. Beau is cool but I happen to know a female Bo, so less comfortable about using it for a boy.

Belle is lovely. But the other two are also very nice. Win, win whichever way.

Beeny1980 · 29/10/2009 12:52

Def Mia - pretty but classic

Jesse for me would be too concerning for school taunting possibilities but depends on the boy i guess!! Like Danny tho - timeless...

diddl · 29/10/2009 08:56

Like Mia & Olivia.

RomanCandleJollster · 29/10/2009 08:46

Love Finn - one of my top choices for a future DS2.
Like Jesse as well - so long as middle or last name not James

Girl's names - think Mia the nicest, but maybe becoming very popular.

How do they "sit" with your other DC name?
