Names I have so far - please help

Names I have so far are:

For a girl - Vivienne or Beatrix/Beatrice. I also quite like Audrey, but unsure.

For a boy: Rafael

I'd quite luck some other suggestions or thoughts about those names please.

Girls' - Love them all except Beatrix.
Don't like Rafael, sorry.

MrsDibble · 25/09/2013 22:08

People put me off Clementine when I put it up here before!

I love Evelyn but a friend has called her daughter that and I would feel wrong.

I do like Luca, but once sort-of dated someone with that name, and so I'm not sure it would be right...

More boys names would be lovely please - maybe I should have given this thread a more enticing title as have not got many posts!

People seem really split on Rafael on other threads I have read, but I'm not sure why...

Audrey I am hmmmm about, even before we get into corry territory. The girls names are my great aunties' names. Absolutely love them, if I'd had a girl Beatrice would gave definitely been chosen. Raphael? Only know one, and love it. Classic, not too common and actually a very nice name. Well done, OP, good choices. Smile

Amy106 · 25/09/2013 22:16

I really like Vivenne or Beatrice. Audrey makes me think of Coronation Street but is a pretty name.

Rafael is nice as well. Other boy names:

David
James
Hugh
Micheal
Colin

baskingseals · 25/09/2013 22:16

Absolutely love Rafael.

What about
Gabriel

Jago

Arlo

Conrad

Christian

Constantin.

I also love Vivienne. Would you like any more girls' names suggestions?

Mutteroo · 25/09/2013 22:17

Vivienne is such a gorgeous name. If I was to have a baby girl tomorrow, I would name her Vivienne Clementine...... After I screamed "WTF, I didn't even know I was pregnant!!"

Not keen on Rafael, loving Luca

MrsDibble · 25/09/2013 22:23

I don't watch corry so maybe that's why no association - I was thinking of Audrey Hepburn!

Vivienne is a bit streets ahead with me - I was thinking of Vivienne Elizabeth (surname begins with B).

I would like more boys names - thanks! I could wait another two weeks til I find out the gender before posting all of this, but I am a bit obsessed with names!

What do people think about the whole ex-boyfriend thing (not really ex-boyfriend but ex-holiday romance that all my family know about)? My DH likes the name but it feels a bit wrong.

I can't go with Gabriel because existing dd is called Gabriella (I have really outed myself with all of my various posts if anyone does know me!).

Vivienne is lovely but I imagine it would get shortened, and I don't really like Viv.

Love Rafael.

MrsDibble · 26/09/2013 20:14

I quite do like Viv.

Any other suggestions welcome...

EuphemiaLennox · 26/09/2013 20:27

Agnes for a girl- simple cool classic.

Gregory for a boy.

sleepingbeautiful · 27/09/2013 04:46

I know a little Vivienne who is Vivi. I like the name.
I like Rafael, but with your DD's name you might get a few angel comments :)
