Hi all,
Pregnant with DC2, got my 20 week scan in 3 weeks and we're hoping to find out what it is but i'd like to have a shortlist of names.
I think we've decided (for now at least) on Delilah Mei for a girl (Mei spelt that way as a nod to one of my favourite films, not a bid to be 'interesting') but really stuck for boys, plus DH and I just can't agree. We have Dexter so it needs to go with that, only other criteria is that it should be unusual but not really weird.

Can anyone inspire me?

we called our son Jesse Valentine, little different, I (as father) who got to choose, was actually inspired by a Chicago House DJ (Jesse Saunders). not too many Jesse's about yet!

I love Jesse. My aunt did a family tree and I had a great, great, great, great, great uncle called Jesse Saunt. He was a lunatic in an asylum, but hey ho...

ooo i quite like Jesse. When i done our familly tree the kids dads side are from braithwaite and called the Pharoahs. In the 1800's there was a Crispin Pharoah and a Tyson Pharoah. Thats where i got Mac from. He was one of the sons who was given away for being naughty.

I would have used completely different names for dd's had i done my tree before having them. Both my GG grandmother were called Thomasine and Thomasena. I think i would have used that and possible Isobella and Rachel.

Choose a name you love, not because it is unusual! I know a poor 4 year old called Warren. His parents chose it trying to be individual but he's now known by his middle name as his parents can't stand his first name!

Oh dear, I do think a little boy (or even a big one) is going to get a hard time being called Jesse. Too cruel.
