...and I don't even know if it is a boy, but this is the only name I have really loved over the last month of so.

So, names we have for a boy are:

Christian (nn Kit)
Hector
Dashiell (nn Dash)
Isaac (nn Ike or Zac)... I love this but am worried that it's too popular now - and yes, I do care about that sort of thing I'm afraid...

with either Alexander or Benjamin for middle name.

And girls names:

Valentina (nn Nina)
Marianne (nn Annie, but would probably call her Marianne mostly)
Constance (nn Connie, which I love - much more than I like Constance, but I'm of the long formal name variety, so would never christen her Connie, IYSWIM)

with middle name Lily, probably.

Already have a 14 mo DD who is Penelope Lucy (Pen / Penny / Penpots for short).

Last name is Reed.

What would you go for, for boy or girl?

Promise I won't do a million of these threads in the last month, so do give me some feedback!

Thanks.

I like Christian and Christopher but am not that keen on Chris. I much prefer your suggestion of Kit. Hector would be my first choice of your list.

I really like Valentina!

But I think Christopher is much more likely to be shortened to Chris, which I don't like, vs Kit, which I love.... non?

Christian and Constance

I much prefer Christopher to Christian but I think Kit's good.

I like all your other choices, especially the girl's names. I think you're right about Isaac getting popular.
