Hi, its my due date on tuesday, we dont know if we are having a boy or a girl, and we still havent decided on names - cue Mumsnet to the rescue!!!
Our ds is Noah Gabriel Joseph.
Didnt think in our wildest dreams we would conceive again, but HA! we did, and now we need 3 beautiful names in case we have another boy.
We quite like Isaac, Oscar, and poss Felix.
There are lots of others in the running for middle names but not much scope for first names.
We like biblical names but I also like funky names....not chavtastic though!
Its so hard!!!!

Our girls names are whittled down to (in no particular order), Alice, Matilda, Imogen, and Amelie - any pref in order?? Or indeed any other suggestions to go with any of them?
Honest opinions please and all suggestions welcome!!!!!!!!!!
I just want the baby to come, and would prefer to have a shortlist of names for when it arrives. I just cant do any more "nesting!, im knackered...............

thanks ladies
A bit of mumsnet always cheers me up!
We really liked Oscar for our ds, but came up against harsh critique from most family members, then to finish me off my mum told me they had named a baby in Eastenders with the same name. But now, I dont know, we do still like it.... But its become much more popular, and i wanted something that still was a bit "different". I really like Isaac but maybe again, too popular at the moment.
What do you all think of Elijah? Also liked Ellis.
Went through a phase of Luca but decided it may be pretencious as we def not italian .
If you are liking the girls names can you put them in order of pref as we need a christian name and 2 middle names.
Also what do you think of Violet as a middle name?
Love the name Jasper which someone suggested but our surname starts with a J, so not feasible. Thanks all xxxx

What a great story, all your names are lovely, not much help, but wanted to wish you the best

I'd vote Oscar, Isaac and Felix

And Alice, Imogen, Amelie and Matilda.

We hadn't truly decided on names for any of our boys before they were born - sometimes they just don't look like your favourite name.

Good luck for Tuesday (or whenever!)

Probably no help at all but I like all of those. There do seem to be a few Oscars around, though.
Quite like Jasper and Milo.
Hope it goes well!
