Due in one week and have no names!!

[veggieburger]

DC3 is due in one week and we have absolutely no idea as to what to call them! We already have a Jeremiah Henry (Jem) and a Saskia Austen. With both of them the names they were given we had loved since we found out the sex. This time round we didn't find out the sex and are really struggling to come up with a name. Most of the names that I love DH has branded as pretentious whilst not coming up with any alternatives! I'll put a list underneath of names that I really love (and that have not been completely vetoed by DH) but, as well as opinions on those, I would also love some other suggestions. Thanks if you've read this far!

Girls
Honor
Philippa (Pip)
Ellen
Ivy
Claudia
Elsa
Paloma

Boys (much longer!)
Corin
Cassius
Bay
Finton
Arlo
Bruno
Ivan
Felix
Silas
Myles

Just have to comment on this tread!!!

I'm Philippa Honor and DD is Honor Elizabeth. Honor is a family name and I was utterly delighted to have a girl so we could use it.

I also had on my list: Claudia and Paloma (DH won't let me...{booo}) for girls so naturally big thumbs up from moi! For the boys: Arlo and Finton. Bruno and Felix are cool but i'm not that brave.

Other boys names I like are: Jasper, Tristan and Xavier! Any good?

Off the find a new nn as i've totally outed myself now

Girls
Honor - lovely
Philippa (Pip) - great name
Ellen - used to love this but got very popular a few years ago so went off it
Ivy - I don't like this name
Claudia - swing backwards and forwards on this one
Elsa - don't really like
Paloma - very much depends on your surname.

Boys (much longer!)
Corin - I love this though no a girl with this name
Cassius - pretentious
Bay - horse name
Finton - fed up of Fin
Arlo - quite like
Bruno - have warmed to this since meeting a sweet little boy of this name
Ivan - like this name
Felix - awful
Silas - awful
Myles - awful

I'm Philippa Honor

one L three Ps :)

Oooh that's a bit spooky Scarlett! I'm liking your suggestion of Jasper but DH vetoed it for being 'too carrot-y'

Vivi {hi five} snap! Very spooky but very cool.

Veggie what a about Casper...less carrot more ghostly but in a good way!

That's already been and gone for being to ghost-y! He is so hard to please!

I like Ellen very much. Ivy is sweet. Paloma is a wonderful name.
Not keen on the others - Honor is very fashionable at the moment, which would put me off.
I love Cass as a nn so would go for Cassius. Silas is also lovely.

Prefer Miles to Myles. Dont like the others, I'm afraid.

Honor is very fashionable at the moment really...?
