Ok so I like simple/shorter names, nothing too frilly, want something cool/surfey/ slightly bohemian but not too try hard....her brother's name is Finn if that gives an idea of our taste.

Thanks so much in advance this is driving us both nuts!

Oh for crying out loud- on what planet is Toby a good name for a girl??????

I'm SO not cool but I think these are cool names which aren't wacky.

Willow

I'm with you, seeker. Truly we are in the end times.

Yeah, the problem with "cool, surfer, Bohemian" names is what if you turn out to be none of those things. My name has been mentioned on this thread and it doesn't suit me at all.

MortifiedAdams · 04/04/2013 10:42

DH wants Finn if we have a boy. We have a girl called Meg (if we happen to jave the same taste!)

Finn and Rowan
Finn and Tamsin
Finn and Imogen
Finn and Alex(andra)
Finn and Thea
Finn and Nina
Finn and Juno
Finn and Joelle

None of these are too frilly/ girly/ popular, and I think they're all quite cool, and go with your DS's name.

Do let us all know what you choose!
