Just wondered if anyone else is like me and DH and have been thinking about baby names?? We can't agree on girls, but boys we find easy... we could have a bunch of boys and agree on every name!!

I know I shouldn't be thinking of names when I am not even pg, but I can't help myself!!Anyone got any cool name ideas?? Promise I won't steal any of them I'd love to hear what other people are thinking... or am I the only one mental enough to think this far ahead??

JL - i am liking that 'patience' think it would be a nice middle name.

Good luck tomorrow let me know how it goes

Juicylucythe2nd · 13/11/2006 13:03

Am 12wks pg tomorrow and haven't officially started thinking about it as won't really believe this is going all the way until after the scan tomorrow.

However, DH has already thrown a name in the ring:

Kitty - he had an Aunty Kitty and loves the name. I however am worried about cat connections. What do you all think?

I love Scarlett and also Isobel. Haven' thought further than that.

BTW - if it's a boy we're screwed as we've both only thought in girl terms so far. LOL!

Natty - how about Patience. I think you've shown amazing amounts of that so far in your quest

aprilmeadow - LOL @ Toggle - goodness me!!

DH and I started thinking about names v.early on. Funnily enough, we never really agreed on any girls names, but we have always had Arthur Benjamin for a boy. We also like Pip, Wilbur, George, Gilbert and a few others I can't remember - boys names have never been a problem!! ...and low and behold, we ended up with two girls!!!!

We have a Katherine Deborah and a Sophia Helen-May.

This time we sat down and decided on a definite girl's name (I'm due end of April next yr), which is Phoebe Elisabeth Joan.

You must be v.excitied ready4 - congratulations!!

LG&T your names are lovely. My ds is called Jack and we have pretty common names lined up for this one. Either George or Ella.

Speaking of funny names i went to school with a girl and her and her siblings all had bizarre names:
Rain
Cloud
Happy
Toggle

I'm sure there are some i have missed!

my aunts just had a baby boy, Ethan Jack

ready4motherhood · 12/11/2006 19:58

oops meant Ethan not Etham (that can't be a name surely??)

And my half Irish half English comment looks bizarre, but it was in reference to Mellowma's mum being English and not liking Ethan

ready4motherhood · 12/11/2006 19:56

I am half English, half Irish... but I still love the name Ethan. In fact I love Etham, Ewan, Evan, Liam, Dylan, Ryan, Nathan, Pedro...

Hee hee... I threw that last one in there to see if anyone had switched off

Lemonaid - I love Phoebe, but DH does not!! Girls names are a real bone of contention and we have not even conceived yet!!

janus, my SIL is lottie, short for loretta

kittylette · 12/11/2006 19:48

My sons names are Addison Robert and Dexter James

i love em

lemonaid · 12/11/2006 19:47

What about Phoebe, Ready4? A similar vibe to Chloe but not quite so popular.

Janus · 12/11/2006 19:41

I love all these names! My oldest daughter is 'Lottie' (not charlotte!) and I'm constantly told how nice her name is! My youngest is Rosie but I seem to always call her Rose which suits her more (she was very nearly a Tilly which I also love). Boys names I have always struggled with so lucky to have 2 girls!
