It seems like only last week I was here trying to name DC4, and you all had some amazing suggestions!

I am 33 weeks with DC5.

We have a DS and three DDs.

If a boy DC will probably be Ivan Stanley or George Stanley.

This baby was extremely unplanned - youngest is not quite 12 months, and we seem to have run out of girls names.

Possibilities include
Mabel (on shortlist when DD3 was born last year)
Imogen
Grace

All ideas welcome. DH and I must be the most indecisive people on the planet, and need all the help we can get! Grin

Hi there!

Just an update to say that DC5 - Imogen was born on Tuesday weighing 7lb 8oz. She is very lovely [hgrin]. We're still doing battle over middle names!

Thanks again for all your help! This is my last baby names thread and I'm feeling quite emotional [hblush].

I love Mary. A friend was considering it and got talked into something a lot more 'frilly'. I still love it. Also love Mabel.

Mary Agnes! Mary is a fantastic name. Rosalind would be my 2nd choice.

George is very nice.

Oooh, all lovely. I say George for a boy. :)

Mabel, Isadora, Mary, Rosalind and Clemency are ALL fabulous. Sorry, I'm of no help!

Right with much discussion with DH last night and pouring over this thread. This is our new shortlist.

Boy: George Stanley/Ivan Stanley - probably going to go with George.

Girl:
Mabel Agnes - still possibly my favourite
Grace Agnes
Isadora Agnes
Rosalind Agnes
Mary Agnes - DH's choice, I'm not sure
Clemency Agnes - If it was down to me I'd name a DD Clemency like a shot. But DH refuses to consider it.

Thanks for all your suggestions so far, its been really helpful Grin

Oooh yes, Mary is lovely and I don't know why nobody uses it!

I think with your existing girls' names (all lovely btw) I would go for Martha, Sally, Nellie, Nancy or Mabel.
