Am getting induced next week so need names. We think we've got the final two but just want to run them past you lot first!

Boys name: Benedict
Girls name: Adelaide

Already have a Seth (5) and a Nancy (3).

What do you think?

Love them both.

Your other kids names are gorgeous too!

Friends have just had an Adelaide (different hemisphere), at first I didnt think it was the prettiest name (makes me think of Australia Confused) but she is very much known as Addie, even at just two weeks old and the name has grown on me. Will age nicely with teenager / young adult and onwards IMO.

Benedict is okay, you know he's going to be a Ben everywhere all the time and I prefer Benjamin personally :)

both nice names but agree they'll both get abbreviated most of the time.

Love Adelaide or Addie.

Benedict, on the other hand, WILL be shortened to Ben, which is very dull/common imo.

Gorgeous names. Good luck!

DetectivePotato · 21/08/2010 10:28

Don't like them.

AT1137 · 21/08/2010 10:52

DetectivePotato - what names do you like?

Adelaide reminds me of a pub, sorry. I do love your sons name Seth, I heard a little boy being called this last week and it sounded lovely!

MyThumbsHaveGoneWeird · 21/08/2010 16:08

Love Benedict.
Love Adelaide if I think of Guys and Dolls, but my first thought was "isn't that a town in Australia?"

theagedparent · 21/08/2010 16:09

Love Seth and Nancy but not so keen on your new choices. As others have said they will be Ben and Ads/Addie

BelligerentGhoul · 21/08/2010 16:18

Love Benedict but not keen on Adelaide.

thereisalightanditnevergoesout · 21/08/2010 16:55

As you know AT1137, I'm a Benedict fan. But I'm not so keen on Adelaide, but it's traditional and won't be too popular. I love Nancy, too (as a mum of a Nancy).

Rockbird · 22/08/2010 12:49

Beautiful. Love Benedict and haven't heard Adelaide for ages but it's great.

chocolatehoneymonster · 26/08/2010 21:37

Bendy Dick & Lemonade! they just not as nice as Seth and Nancy xx

AngryPixie · 26/08/2010 21:45

I'm with the honey monester Grin

Seth & Nancy on the other hand, divine!

Are you ok about Benedict being Ben? Not sure I like it but I went to a catholic school and associate it with that Confused

Don't like Adelaide. Prefer Adeline/a but that's because I knew a mad sweet old lady with that name who alsways bought us choc liqueurs for no reason
