What's your favourite name?

[therumoursaretrue]

I am in need of inspiration...so what's your very favourite name for a boy and for a girl!?

I have a super short shortlist but nothing jumping out at me so far and baby could be here any day now!

Here are the names we couldn't use that I loved:
Matilda or Posey for girls
Benjamin or Linus for boys

Laurence (Laurie, Larry), Francis (Frank, Fran, Frankie), Douglas (Doug, Douggie) for boys.

Sylvia (Sylvie), Violet (Vi), Delphine (Delphi) for girls.

Also Aubrey for a boy and Athenais for a girl in "names I love but wouldn't use" category.

Josephine and Casper.

Harley for a boy (DS's name) and my favourite girls' name is Marley but I can't use that :(. Next will probably be Nia or Tansy.

Ophelia (DD1) Delphine, Callisto

Frederick, Lochlan, Ellias.

Claudia. I adore it but DP hates it with a passion. Other names I really like are Lydia, Imogen and Rachel.

Boys would be Benjamin, Thomas and Timothy.

Elizabeth for a girl nn. Betty

Alexander for a boy (can't use so annoying)

Have Noah & Sophia and love Luca & Lola but DH hates Lola so maybe Chloe or I like Mila.

Jessica

Danny

Eloise
Alexandra
Daniel
Seth
Joe
Jared
Nick
Talitha
Elodie
Elsie
Sorrel

Ralph
Desiree.

Kitty, Decca, Hattie (Harriet), Maggie

Noah, Seth, Thomas, James, Ryan, Saul

Catinboots - DD is Alexandria

Nicholas
Sarah

Caitlin
Matthew

Some lovely ideas here. Nelly Seth is a favourite here but can't use it sadly.

Can't believe I will have a baby to name in the next few days!

My sons name Kailum

I like Lily, Madison, Isabella

Daniel (not ds's name)

Isobel (dd's middle name).

Really like James for a middle name, think it goes well with lots of other names.

Love Lily SP that's a definite possibility!

Yes think James will go well with most names and it would be after my dad.

My sons middle names are James Matthew

Nathaniel James is my favourite name for a boy. Nate as a nickname. I have 2 wonderful DDs and we're not planning any more apart from the fantasy DC3 in my head that 'accidentally' turns up in about 5 years

The girls name I never got to use is Tess Rebecca. LOVE Tess but DH vetoed it.

Those 3 go really nicely together SP.

Water Nathaniel is a name I really want to like but it always reminds me of an ex with a similar name!

Boy: Hamish or Felix
Girl: Elizabeth
