Names nearly done and dusted!

[persephoneplum]

So I think we have settled on names to take to the hospital!

Augustin (my #1)
Reuben
Ambrose

Ursula (my #1)
Audrey
Delphine
Paloma

Very excited and just wanted to share :)

Thats great good luck with it all :)

I don't mind, but I guess seeing as we're settled on names, I don't want to hear an "EWWWWWW Ursula the sea witch." comment. I love it and that's that :) But sure, positive or constructive feedback is welcome.

Good luck! Glad you've found names you love!

Personally I love Augustin and Ambrose (less keen on Reuben) as well as Ursula and Paloma! Lovely, classic and not overused names - great choices!!

When are you due?

Beautiful names...... My faves would be Augustin and Paloma.....please go with Paloma it's so so gorgeous!!

I love all your choices - so refreshing after all the Albies, Archies, Evies, Millies around.

My favourites are Augustin and Audrey, but they're all lovely! Good luck!!

I really like all your names. They are great choices.

Ursula and Augustin are my favourites as well.

Don't like any of the boys' names, sorry.
Audrey is streets ahead in the girls' list imho.

How long have you got to wait? Your excitement is catching! :)

Ursula is one of my all time favourite girls names - thrilled to see someone (possibly) about to use it!!!

As a youngster I knew a teenage Ursula and she seemed so sophisticed it left a strong impression on me!

Great name choices all round.

Paloma Faith :-)

Congratulations on your imminent birth and lovely that you've found names YOU love!

Whilst it shouldn't matter what WE think, I really like Augustin and Paloma, but they're all great underused names - great choices imo!

Good luck and glad to hear you've found names you love!

I have never seen such nice comments on a baby name thread

Love Paloma and Delphine! Reuben was our boys name but apparantly it's a girl so will just have to try again in a few years (it better not get popular before then!). Good Luck and congratulations on some lovely name choices!

Congrats on two lovely interesting short-lists! I love Reuben, Audrey and Paloma. Never even contemplated Ambrose but that's a great characterful choice, too.

What about middle names?

Will you come back post-delivery and let us know what you settled on please?

Good luck!

Oooooh I love Ambrose. We're having it as DS2's 2nd middle name :) I like Ursula too and Paloma is also lovely. Good luck!

Love love love Ursula!

Good luck with the birth. Glad that you've found names you love!

like them a lot :) Audrey & Delphine were both on our lists for dd1 & 2 and I really like Ursula! Augustin is great too.

Thanks all so much - it might sound ridiculous but we're not due until later in the year. This baby has been six years in the planning though, so to have a short list after SO much deliberation over many years is a real breakthrough for us :)

Yes, you really were all so nice. Thanks :) I'm really hoping for an Ursula or Augustin but we'll see how we feel when he/she arrives!

I'd have Ursula or Audrey, & Reuben or Ambrose. Great names.
