I posted the other week with shortlist for probable baby boy. A few have been knocked off now and a couple of different ones added that I had forgotten about. DH not wanting to discuss seriously (he is v last minute but at least I am used to this now)! I have an idea of his taste though.

Boys:
Elias
Matteo
Raphael
Julius (would probably use the nn Jude as a bit much day to day)
Less likely to be accepted by DH but I like: Hugo, Nathaniel, Theodore.

In case of a girl:
Camille
Astrid
Paloma
Juliet

Thanks for your comments. Any similar suggestions would be wonderful.
By the way, we aren't Italian but baby is mixed race so darker skinned so I don't think the above names would seem strange for him/ us.

love Raphael and also Theodore (i have a theodore, he is theo mainly tho)

out of your girls names i LOVE Astrid, we considered this for our dd :)

mopsyflopsy · 13/05/2012 13:45

Julius and Paloma are gorgeous! Classic but underused.

tammytoby · 13/05/2012 13:54

Love Raphael and Julius. I'd probably shorten Julius to Jules (Jude sounds a little girly imo).

Camille and Paloma are lovely too!

BBQJuly · 13/05/2012 14:03

I like Elias, Nathaniel, Theodore, Paloma, Juliet.

bamboozledAardvark · 13/05/2012 14:06

It seems we have quite similar taste!

From your boys list I love Elias, Matteo and Raphael and don't mind Julius. Prefer Julian though and love Jude.

I really love all of the girls names, particularly Astrid and Juliette.

Currently on my list are -

Rex
Idris
Saul
Roman

Kerensa
Astrid
Delilah
Kezia

They might not be to your taste but I'll throw them out there as I love most on your list!

sugarspiceandallthingsnice324 · 13/05/2012 14:13

Elias and Paloma are my favourites

GnocchiNineDoors · 13/05/2012 14:16

Paloma and Hugo

justanothermanicmonday · 13/05/2012 16:38

bamboozled- nice lists! I like Roman a lot too. I have had the 'c' word mentioned in relation to it though so it put me off slightly.
I love Kerensa and Delilah too. I find Cassia prettier than Kezia personally.

Julia

Just adding my pennies worth!

I like Matteo and Elias for boys, Juliet and Astrid for girls.

Limejelly · 15/05/2012 20:01

I love Elias! And have added it to my list (will try it on DP later!)

I don't like the other names, sorry. How about these from my list;

Rueben
Cassius
Hugo
Lucian

Thea
I only have one girls name on my list!

justanothermanicmonday · 16/05/2012 09:52

justonemorethread- I love Julia and Aurelia (although still prefer Juliet).

Bumping in the hope of a few further opinions!

Love Raphael - could see it being shortened to Ralph. Love Keziah for a girl as it is an ancestral name on my DH's side. Prefer Julia to Juliet.

justanothermanicmonday · 22/05/2012 08:18

Thanks storytopper. Raphael seems to be the most popular of the boy's names on here.

I love Elias and like Raphael. Matteo and Julius aren't good, sorry. Nathaniel is lovely. Theodore is OK, but Theo is very common now. Not keen on Hugo at all.

Your girls names are all lovely, classy names. My favourite is Camille, but they are all lovely.
