Boys:
Jack
Finn
Rhys
Alexander
William

Girls:
Eleanora (DH's grandmother's name, nn possibly Elle)
Penelope (called Poppy, and I know, I know, but yes I can :o)
Philippa, nn Pippa
Caroline
Susannah

Susannah

Alexander

Thanks, rubyslippers. Not to profile stalk you, but isn't Skinny Dip hilarious? My Dad and I were just talking about it a few hours ago. Sorry, profile stalking's what I do when I get bored...and wow, just hijacked my own thread. :o

William

Eleanora or Susannah or Penelope all lovely.

Alexander
Eleanora

Any more votes?

Jack and Caroline

Finn and Caroline

Alexander and Eleanora. Tyrone and Molly in Corrie have just named their baby Jack so that would put me off the name for good.

William and Susannah.

William, Rhys or Finn.

Penelope or Eleanora.

boy: William or Finn

Girl: Eleanora

Skinny dip is hilarious ...

May have to dig it out for a re-read!

Rhys is great and goes well with Sam

(I'd avoid William due to the obvious Will/Willy abbreviation )

Susannah

William for sure, but like Alexander

And love Susannah and Penelope (and yes, you can with poppy)

Eleanora if you use Nora as a nn otherwise Susannah.

William

Susannah (though I'd leave the final H off). It can always be shortened down to 'Anna if you don't like the inevitable Susie. One friend of mine abbreviates herself to "Zan" which I think is sort of cool.

Finn. It's short, easy to pronounce, needs no abbreviating, nearly impossible to mis-spell, still unusual enough for there not to be a million others in his class with the same name.

Congratulations on your new arrival!

Alexander and Phillipa because I love the name pippa and Alexander as loads of different nn potential.

Sam and Alex and Sam and Pippa sound lovely together.

Philippa obviously. Not Phillipa.

Penelope and Finn (with William as a middle name)

My favourites from your list are Alexander or William for a boy, Eleanora, Penelope or Philippa for a girl.

My favourites are Alexander and Penelope (Poppy) - very cute names. Good luck deciding

Jack and William

Eleanora

Lee I'm not actually pregnant; DH and I are going to ttc soon and we agonized over names the first time around, so I'm just getting opinions on our front-runner.

Thisside, I'm American and we don't call it a Willy here, so that isn't a problem. :)

Thanks for the opinions!

Penelope
