I am 33 weeks pregnant and we dont have a single name we like. With DD I had both choices already picked by now.

We look at name lists and talk about names, but just cannot find any. We have quite similar taste so I suppose thats good.

Some names we like a bit are Erin for a girl and Dylan, Daniel and Olly for a boy.

A girl called Erin was horrible to DD where we used to live. So thats out. I hate the nn Danny so I dont know if I would call a boy Daniel. Dylan I loved but have completely went off. And Olly divides us. I prefer the spelling Ollie. DP hates it. And we cant decide whether to put Oliver on the BC.

:(

Any advice?

Imogen and Gemma are beautiful. Have you considered Louise as a first name?

For a boy, how about Ivan, Ivo, Aidan, Adrian or Louis.

Louise is DPs mum so a bit close and could get confusing.

I love Aidan and actually keep asking DP. But a boy called that bullied him in school.

Too many associations!

I love the name Charlotte but our best friends have used it. Their DS is Robert, another Charlotte sibling is Thomas. We have a Daniel who is never Danny, and also liked Matthew, Alexander, Jonathan, Theo, Reuben, Benjamin.

I knew a Charlotte whose brother was called Adam, if that helps.

Looks like you're making progress from your original post!

Siblings of Charlotte: Rosanne and Julia
Second whoever suggested Lewis

We have just had another scan (33+5) not totally sure why Hmm but DP says he thinks he saw things. So now we think its a boy.

And we think the doctor almost slipped up and told us but then caught herself.

Im going to reread this thread now and look at the boy suggestions again. But theres not any boys names that Im in love with at the minute.

Marcus or Lewis

I have an Oliver and a Charlotte and think they go well! Other boys names I love (and think go with Charlotte) are Benjamin, William, Edward, Sebastian, Alexander - all classic names IMO as is Charlotte. Also like Henry, George, Maximilian, Jacob (not keen on Jake though)...

I know a couple of people who have a Charlotte and a Jessica.

For a boy if you like Noah but you think it's too popular how about Elisha or Isaac.
