I'm worried that I have decided too early but after nearly three years ttc we have had a lot of time to consider names. I hope I'm not jinxing it, this little bean is so precious to me!

So the names are....

Asa Samuel or Asa Samson (middle name after my df)

Juno Birdy or Juno Violet Birdy (Birdy after my gran aunt)

Any opinions?

I love them - original and unique to you, but not outlandish. I love Asa and Birdy.

Best of luck with your bean xx

Love Asa Samson! Asa was on my list but went for something else, like Juno dh does not.

Bowlersarm · 04/11/2013 19:27

Very nice OP. I like them all.

CarryOnDancing · 05/11/2013 00:11

I'm not keen on Asa but I really love Samson!

I prefer your girls name with Violet in, although Juno leaves me cold for some reason.

Not much help to you I'm afraid!

hollowhallows · 05/11/2013 00:12

I am actually in love with your name choices!

Juno is one of my favourite names and Asa Samson is splendid.

Unique but not in a forced way.

comeandgo · 05/11/2013 00:22

Awful.

They sound 'try too hard'.

Samuel is the only one I like but would become shortened to Sam which is just meh.

comeandgo · 05/11/2013 00:23

Congratulations btw! Smile

steppemum · 05/11/2013 00:28

I don't even know how to pronounce Asa.

Sorry I don't like it, or Juno (which sounds to me like a boys name0

Sunnysummer · 05/11/2013 02:02

Love them.

Personally I much prefer Asa Samuel to Asa Samson, if only because my days in Sunday School left me thinking that Samson was a bit of a twunt (he tied foxes' tails together and set them on fire, ffs!).

Congratulations on your BFP! Smile

"Try hard" oh yeah that is me Grin .....well in fairness of course I am going to try hard to pick a name for a child, its something they will have for the rest of their life! So yep I confess I am proud to be try hard Smile

WowserBowser · 05/11/2013 12:04

Yep like them. They are my type of names though.

Rhubarbgarden · 05/11/2013 13:48

I like Samuel and Violet.

daughterofafarmer · 05/11/2013 14:51

Asa isn't my kind of name, but Asa Samuel is good. Strong.

Juno....utterly envious if you have a girl. Love it. In fact trying to talk DH round for DC3 just so I can maybe have a Juno.

DitsyDonkey · 05/11/2013 14:54

Thanks for all your responses so far....I think my naming style is a bit marmite which I kinda knew anyway, but overall I think your comments have been positive Smile hopefully I will make it to June with this little one!

Asa Samuel is sublime.

Juno Violet Birdy is lovely too.

OddFrog · 05/11/2013 16:56

I love your style and would be pleased to have either of those as my name. Cute, but will grow with the child and flexible too. I don't think they're try-hard at all! They both sound like smart, well rounded, happy people. Hope for twins so you can use both names straight away?

TheNunsOfGavarone · 05/11/2013 17:09

Asa Samuel. Asa Samson has too many Ss.

Juno Violet Birdy.

DitsyDonkey · 05/11/2013 17:32

OddFrog there certainly is a chance of twins as it is a clomid pregnancy plus twins run in my mothers family, in fact she is a fraternal twin!

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 05/11/2013 17:34

Love them!

sonlypuppyfat · 05/11/2013 17:35

Samson? It didn't go very well for him in the bible and if he grows up a bit weedy its not going to suit him.

OddFrog · 05/11/2013 19:48

How exciting! Ditsy. I'd have loved to have twins. Either way, a lovely set of names for whoever you get. Thanks

5madthings · 05/11/2013 19:54

LOVE THEM!!
