We don't know what we're having, middle name will be either Maisie or John after my gp's, we already have a Jacob and I want a name no one else I know has!

Would have loved Noah but know 5 born in last 12 months!

Please give me some ideas, thanks!

I like Isabella for a girl and Issac for a boy Smile

Pootle78 · 25/07/2012 22:20

Thanks, Isaac is my cousins and I know 3 Isabella's in my group.

It's just too hard!!!

What are YOUR suggestions? Are there no names you LOVE that haven't been used by your friends/family?

How about
Antonia, Florence, Elisabeth
Quentin, Felix, Benedict

Leo is lovely and goes very well with Jacob I think.

I've always had a soft spot for Holly and Gabriella.

rachel234 · 25/07/2012 22:38

Gabriella is lovely, as is Quentin imo. Both go well with Jacob and are more than one syllable.

Pootle78 · 25/07/2012 22:39

We don't really have anything we love.

Dh decided he likes Saffron or Victoria and won't budge from Max which I vetoed before ds was born! I don't love or even like them.

Alexander or Freya is there or there abouts but not sure I love either.

Dh really loves Florence but I know 4 in the last 12 months.

Quentin is a manager from work and Felix is a cat!!!

I'm really sorry for being difficult, we really should have made a decision by now, or at least got a short list!

Ellis John
or
Ada Maisie

All depends on your surname. Ada means 'happy' and I've always loved that name.

You don't have to have a name for 6 weeks so u have plenty of time. I was induced with my second and we didnt have a name either - he was born and his name just came to me about 5 mins later. Don't stress about it, u need to keep as relaxed as poss so they arrive as easy as poss!! Good luck Smile

Gabriel for a boy, Edie for a girl...

racingheart · 25/07/2012 23:06

What's wrong with Maisie as a first name? It's gorgeous.

Sylvie is coming back into fashion. Very pretty. And Vivienne.

Elijah goes with Jacob. So does Raphael or Gabriel. Do you hate Maximillian, shortened to Max?

You don't have to decide straightaway. Hope it all goes well!

manicinsomniac · 25/07/2012 23:09

Hmmm, it's hard without any guidelines. Thinking about names you're less likely to know any of, how about:

Arabella, Aria, April, Bryony, Clarissa, Cassandra, Dana, Eliana, Enya, Fenella, Genevieve, Giselle, Genesis, Hayley, India, Juliette, Kayleigh, Lara, Lyra, Lucinda, Miranda, Melissa, Nyah, Ophelia, Piper, Rhiannon, Ruth, Robyn, Star, Sabrina, Stacey, Sydney, Samantha, Tegan, Taylor, Valerie, Verity, Xanthe, Yvette, Zia, Zillah.

Austin, Abraham, Benedict, Casper, Cosmo, Darren, Edwin, Fergus, Finnian, Gregory, Harley, Ivan, Joleyon, Kenneth, Leonard, Milan, Nelson, Nico, Owen, Preston, Parker, Quinn, Richard, Roman, Rowan, Spencer, Simon, Timothy, Tallon, Walter, Xavier, Zebediah.

Miriam Maisie? (I am biased as love the name Miriam)
Eleanor Maisie?

Alistair John?
Christopher John and call him Kit for short?

unusual, but recognisable and go with Jacob.
