I shouldn't be on 'Baby Names' or even thinking about them. I can't have another baby yet but I know I want another as soon as we're back on our feet financially... so what do you think of these names?

For a girl:

Beau
Blair
Anya

For a Boy:
Luca
Gabriel (Gabe)
Flynn

Beau's a boys name
Blair dont like
Anyas the best

Lucas the best
Gabriel dont like
Flynn ok

For girls: I like Anya. Are you in UK? Blair could still be difficult given the ex-PM's legacy. Beau is a boy's name - would you consider Belle?

For boys: I like Luca and Flynn. Gabriel is Ok, but doesn't do it for me, sorry.

Underachieving · 09/03/2011 12:13

Blair and Beau both say male to me, so I go with Anya.

I don't like Luca or Flynn but Gabriel is Ok.

PepsiPopcorn · 09/03/2011 12:31

I'd go for Anya or Gabriel.

Beau - not keen, and it's a boys' name
Blair - Tony Blair, ex prime minister
Anya - like, very pretty

Luca - prefer Luke as sounds more solid/less feminine
Gabriel (Gabe) - like, very nice name
Flynn - too surnamey

BarbieLovesKen · 09/03/2011 12:35

Anya or Gabriel - both lovely.

Beau - not keen - thought this was a boy's name?
Blair - No. I think "witch project"
Anya - lovely

For a Boy:
Luca - I think this is very faddy
Gabriel (Gabe) - lovely (also love Gabe - very nice)
Flynn - surname

I like Anya but don't like any of the other names, especially your boys names.

Hedwig3 · 09/03/2011 12:54

Anya and Gabriel for me too.

TotallyandUtterly · 09/03/2011 19:09

Ooo pretty much everyone agrees! I do like Anya and Gabe.

Beau's the little girl on Signs and she's soooooo cute, which swayed me Grin

Don't like any of the girls' names, sorry - but Anya is the best of the bunch. Love Gabriel and Lucas/Luke though less fond of Luca.

TotallyandUtterly · 09/03/2011 20:34

Don't worry Belligerent, you haven't offended my hypothetical baby girl Grin

Lucas is nice. Went to school with a horrible Luke so that name's ruined.

Anya and Gabriel are lovely.

MelinaM · 10/03/2011 00:49

Anya and Flynn for me, lovelySmile x

GabySolis · 10/03/2011 20:08

girls
Beau (that's a boy's name Confused
Blair [also a boys name! Confused
so don't like either of them for a girl, way too masculine.
Anya pretty though.

boys
Luca - not keen on
Gabriel - lovely name, really like that one
Flynn ok, bit pretentious to me though Blush

So in short, Anya and Gabriel are far and away the best Grin

RancerDoo · 10/03/2011 20:13

The little girl in "Signs" is Bo (a girl's name Smile).

meditrina · 10/03/2011 20:45

Bo is a Scandinavian boy's name: a few examples of well known holders: footballer, bodybuilder/weightlifter, Olympic fencer, another footballer,

(BTW, Bo Derek's real name is Mary: then again, Bo Jackson's real name is Vincent!)

Nightstar · 10/03/2011 21:43

I love your girls names

I think the boys names are a bit girly though

Misfitless · 10/03/2011 22:48

Beau is French for handsome - I can never understand why people use this name (especially with the French masculine spelling) for a girl.

I know a woman who has named her daughter Beau - she goes round telling everyone it's French for beautiful and that it's a really spohisticated name -- mmmm!
Belle is the French feminine form of beautiful.
Blair - dreadful associations of Tony and Blair Witch Project (which is the scariest most disturbing film I've ever seen).
Don't like Luca unless one/both parents is/are Italian.
I love Gabriel and wanted it for my DS but my DP put his fut down - he thought he'd get called Gay at school.
DOn't like Flynn.
Not keen on Anya either.

cece · 10/03/2011 22:53

For a girl:

Beau - no it's a boys name
Blair - no it's a surname
Anya - best of the three. OK

For a Boy:
Luca - only if there is Italian in the family
Gabriel (Gabe) - too girly for me
Flynn - no it's a surname.

Sorry that is 3 nos for the boys and a possible for the girls.

Meglet · 10/03/2011 22:53

I only really like Gabriel. I know one, nn Gabe Smile.

kat2504 · 11/03/2011 00:57

Only Anya and Gabriel. Don't like the others. Beau is a masculine form in French anyway. Anya is really nice though. I also like Lucas better than Luca. Don't know why.
