... to ask what your favourite names are?

[LollyLauren]

Hi there :)

I really need some inspiration...

DC1 is due soon (no idea what gender) and would love a name ready!

DH's favourite name (boy) is Oliver (I really like it too, but know loads :()

Stuck for girls' names, but I do quite like Darcy...

Thanks in advance x

ScarlettDarling - Scarlett ^ Poppy is nice!

William is nice, but I know I'd call him Willy!

Jack is basic, but I do like! Gabriel sounds too religious, according to DH!

Noah is gorgeous :)

Favourite boys names - Lucien, Theo and Matteo.
Girls - Sidonie, Chiara and Kitty

TwatMagnet - I love Theo! I like Matthew too (Matteo is nice)

I think 'Tamsin Mayfield' has a really nice flow to it

Ida - Tamsin is pretty, but I think I prefer Yasmin!

That flows really nicely too! I like the nicknames from Tamsin better, personally, but both names work well.

Caius
Ezra
Micha
Cassius
Ezekiel

Frankie
Vivienne
Cassia
Minerva

Isn't this sort of thing what the Baby Names topic is for?

We're abroad so my names are a bit odd but Lucas, Tomas, Emanuel, Caio Tiago, Mateus or José. For girls I like Clara, Olivia, Camila, Isabel, Emily, Yara or Myara.

For a boy I like Jonathan, Matthew, Alexander and Henry.

For a girl I like Emma, Sara, Lara and Imogen.

I like classic timeless names, nothing to 'out there' or faddy.

Apart from my own children's names, I like:

Elisabeth for a girl - so versatile, and I have taught Elisabeths known as Ellie, Eliza, Beth, Libby.... So many great names from one.

For boys, I rather like names slightly different: Fabian, Edwin and Jolyon. We never had any boys, which is just as well as my husband hated all my boys name choices :-)

Lolly- yes he does get Ollie mostly but Oliver when he's being told off

... and my name begins with L too and it's not been a problem having a daughter with the same initial.
Me and my mum both have the same name-now that's another thing ( completely confusing most of the time ! )

I love Corbin, Soloman,Theo, Toby.

Girls I really struggle with.... We had one and we gave her the only name we loved .... Cleo!

Darcy I cannot stand .... Arsey Darcy!!!

I have boys but if either had been a girl they would have been called Hannah Ruth. I also love Tilly (but short for Mathilde after my lovely grandmother rather than Matilda).

If we'd had more boys I would have had trouble finding names! Was difficult enough coming up with the two we have 😄 I liked Josh, Oliver, Alexander though.

Oysterbabe - beautiful baby,; lovely name

Bonnie
Leah
Julia
Margaret - Maggie

Asa
Matthew
Evan
Gabriel

Oh, and Raphael

Another Minerva fan! [high-fives Delta] .
DS is Edmund
Other favourites: Alexandra, Rufus, Anita.

I used my favourite name on my daughter so I won't share that

But I also really like Evangeline. I wanted it for DD's middle name but DH wasn't arsed for it. I think it just flows really well. And Evie is a cute nn for when they're little.

I think I also had on my list

Ada
Rosa
Camille

(In hindsight, all of these would have been awful for DD!)

We really struggled with boys' names. I love names like Angus, Fergus, Rowan. DH hated all of them!

Marcus
Joey

Elsbeth
Naomi

Finn
Edward
Henry
Harriet
Felicity (nn Flick)
Rosamund (nn Rosie)
Elizabeth

My ds is Felix which is a name I have always loved and now love even more! If we had a girl I love Serena or Leonie.i would struggle for another boy name but Leo might be possible.

I like Darcy. Pretty.

Bryony Mayfield sounds pretty
OR
Lucy
Elizabeth- with all the derivations- Libby Mayfield, Kitty Mayfield
Lydia
Anna Mayfield

Somehow short first names flow better

Erica
Georgia

I think I like girls names ending with an 'a' sound really.
