I love Eden.

The only name there that I'm not sure on is Jasper.

All your names are lovely but I especially love Eden and Leo.

BumpNGrind · 06/04/2014 00:19

Leo has been a front runner long before I was even pregnant but there are so many lovely names out there that it makes it hard not to compare them all.

Girls are a lot more difficult for us but I do really genuinely like all three names. I'd be interested to see if anyone had any particular aversions for any reasons to the names.

Love Eden, I'm considering it for my own.

And I like all the boys names, But especially Isaac. As long as you don't mind the popularity Smile

Leo and Alice from your lists would be my choice. Both lovely I think.

3DcAndMe · 06/04/2014 09:07

Eden is lovely

Not to keen on the others sorry!

Love Eden but I'm not keen on Alice or Evelyn. Love all your boys names and especially Isaac and Leo. Hope this helps!

Going to go against the crowd here & say I dislike Eden. It sounds a bit "try-hard" to me, but I'm obviously in the minority Grin.

My favourites off your list are Evelyn (nn Evie?) and Isaac by a whisker - Leo is also great though.

Hawknotdove · 06/04/2014 09:27

Really like Isaac and Leo but have a strong aversion to Jasper - just screams try-hard-posh-name to me, sorry.

Like all your girls names, Alice and Evelyn more than Eden.

Thank you for your help, I think we're going to go with either Leo or Isaac (see what he looks like), if the baby is a boy.

Girls are still difficult. I don't want anything floral. Ideally something feminine but still quite strong, I love all of the names on our short list but I think we'll probably keep debating girls names.

Isaac by a mile.
Alice at a push.

Love Alice, Evelyn and Isaac.
