Hello,

I am pregnant with my first baby. We don't know the sex yet so I have short lists for boys and girls. I know some of these names are very popular in the UK but I am Australian so they are less popular here. I am basically looking for a nice classic name which is not overused.

Ok, here goes...

Boys: Theodore (Theo), Maxim (Max), Thomas, Isaac

Girls: Rose, Eve, Elizabeth, Josephine (Josie), Juliet (??not sure about this)

We wanted Luka for a boy because it's my husband's grandfather's name (he is Serbian) but his sister named her son it and while she wouldn't care if we also used it, I want something new.

Any other suggestions also welcome!!

Oh yeah - middle name for a girl will definitely be Amy after my sister. Boy - maybe Edward after my father but maybe no middle name at all (it is not typical in Serbian culture to have middle names).

OK, cast your votes!! Thanks!

Juliet for a girl, but I also like Eve and Elizabeth.
Boys names are all fine. Teddy

I can't name boys, but I love Juliet for a girl

Well for a boy it would have to be Isaac maybe Zak for short - but I am bias as this is my son's name.

I like both Rose and Eve for a girl, have you thought about Elsie for a girl, it's quite old fashioned but it is making a come back in England. - But actually with Amy for a middle name I think maybe the longer names and then shorten them - but then I am a bit undecisive when it comes to girls names.
