Baby names

Savanna & Harvey....thoughts

Hi
I am only in my firat trimester but me and my OH already have some favourites names wise. I wondered what other people thought though.

For a girl we are pretty much settled on Savanna Brooke, its unusual and so I'm worried our parents wont like it, but it is a name which means something to us and reflects my OHs history so we are very keen on it.

For a boy we like Harvey Sebastian but I dont like Harv for short which is tricky....we also quite like Ryley and Dexter as first names so this one is less decided.

Any thoughts would be welcome. Grin

I think we've all been there Cleo - you'll be able to look back and laugh at this thread in future (when you're holding Savannah or Riley in your arms Wink Grin)

I wanted to call my DCs some real belters when my pregnancy hormones was at their raging best. Fortunately my DH put his foot down (one of the few times he has, thankfully) and they've been spared lives of misery as a result. Not sure what MN would have made of them - I suspect in comparison you have had it easy on here!!

Hope the rest of the pregnancy goes well.

When we first started ttc I announced to DH I really wanted to call potential future DS Sirius, after my favourite HP character. I was adamant for a while it was the only boy's name I liked. I didn't even have pregnancy hormones to blame at the time. Picking baby names does funny things to people.

Sirius is nice. I like Sirius. What's wrong with Sirius??

Peek back in again sometime, OP!

Pregnancy hormones always made me very irritable, as well, as I mentioned upthread.

Hey OP

You were ganged up on. Lots of people gleefully mocked you and the tone of several posts was unpleasant. If you love those names you should use them. Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Maryz, I don't think it was much of a humdinger sadly, I took the point swiftly and glady, grateful to have been saved by MN. Grin Was a good 2 1/2 years ago so I can't remember the finer points.

I think the MN baby name board is an institution! You can bet Kate is on here somewhere contemplating posting her list for approval;

Elizabeth
Charles
Diana
Chelsea
Buckingham
Corgi

Etc.
