Hi, My baby's due in 9 weeks and we've not quite figured names out yet, so would appreciate some opinions as I dont really want to ask friends or family in case we go along with one they hate! (Other suggestions welcome. Can't have Saskia, Dominic - in family.) I want a name that willl never make it to the top 50 names if poss, or never be heard from a parent of a kid drinking Coke out of a baby bottle with a pasty in hand. Cheers in advance!

Girls names I like:
Beatrice (bit posh? Lots of Bea's about?)
Clementine (love it - don't like Clem though)
Kitty (love it - maybe a bit girly though?)
Franka (hub says too German!)
Polly (bit plain?)
Greta (but girl in Felix's class called this)
Boys names we like:
Dexter (love it - but a bit too popular now?)
Rex (bit doggy? - ha! a pet theme)
Fabian (hub says it's too public school, he likes Fletcher)

I don`t think Beatrice could ever be thought of as posh since Heather Mills ex-McCartney used it for her daughter.
Kitty and Polly make me think of cats and parrots.
Clementine is lovely.

i have a Beatrice! i've been suprised how many people genuinely seem to like the name although i always get smirks from chavs (which i take as a compliment). we use the nickname Bea or Bumble. have you thought about Beatrix, then she would have an X in her name like her brother. i quite like Rex out of your boy names (another name with an X to go with Felix).
