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!

As you can see from the list of Serbian names, most of them are rather horrendous!! Well actually my husband's name is amongst them and I like that. My sister-in-law has an Eva but I also like that.

My husband prefers Isaac over Theo and Max. Girls he likes Eve and Rose and also Cecile. I prefer Josephine and Elizabeth. I like Eve but I think it is becoming a little popular...

Theo or Issac for a boy are both fab. tHEO PROB THE BEST.

I love Juliet for a girl. There are lots of Roses and Eves and Beths (Elizabeths) about. Josie nice but not as nice as Juliet.

Isaac and Rose are my favourites from your list.
