Names you can't use because they clash with your other children's names.

I love Harvey but have a Harry.
Would be afraid of a Richard getting shortened to Dick meaning I would have a Tom, Dick and Harry!

What can't you use?

I love Saskia but already have a Sasha and too similar to my ears.

I also love Emma if the bump is a girl but my sister (that I see several times a week) has a toddler Emily and I (perhaps irrationally) feel like I'd be cheating the bump out of a name that's unique to it iyswim.

I love Elijah but have an Elizabeth nn Eliza
Love Ezekiel nn Zeke but it sounds too 'z-zee' with Eliza and Zavier
dh likes Vinnie but as we call Zavier Vee it would sound rediculous

*Zavier is actualy spelt Xavier but i used the Z here to emphasise the sound with Zeke!

can't have an ella as we have a sam!

Think I've said this a few times on here, but I so wanted Florence for DD, sadly it rhymes with our surname so we couldn't use it. Loved Eliza too but one of DDs middle names is Elizabeth so didn't feel right. (Gone off Eliza a bit now thankfully). I know someone who has an Oliver (Olly) and she's just called her new baby girl Molly!!

My mum suggested Polly (which I love, btw) for DD, forgetting we already had an Ollie. I liked Annie, but with an Oliver and Maria already in the family it was all getting a bit musical theatre.

I live the names Nina, Norri, and Naomi. But I already have a Noah.

I love Lucia as well but already have a Luke.

Love the name Eliza as well but my DDs middle name is Elizabeth

Next one will be Anna Violet
