Hello all- so I am a childminder, but have looked after children up and down the country for the last 8 years, so you can imagine the amount of names I have heard, but can I decide on one for my own DC1- no!!

I like (but not love);
Teddy
Henry
Harry
William
Oscar
Arthur
Noah

My OH likes;
Wilfred
Albert
Patrick
Alfred
Henry (a little)
Michael (my late fathers name- but I'm not a fan)

We can't seem to agree at all!
My job doesn't seem to help matters as I have been put off a lot of names!
My OH has a really popular name, and he hates it, whereas I have a fairly uncommon name so I don't quite understand the desire to have something so different!

Has anyone got any genius ideas?
Thanks in advance x

All my Nephews, friends and my son's name Smile

Best of luck choosing. My ds was nameless for 4 weeks after his birth.

April Rose is lovely by the way Smile

Arthur is great or how about Quentin or Reuben?

Kit reminds me of sports kit - not really a name to my ears. How about Christian or Christopher for a proper name?

I think kit Henry is the favourite- but we would possibly put Kristian on birth certificate! But I do also love Arthur it's a tough one- we have a few now so will wait and see what the baby looks like!!
Thank you for beautiful suggestions! X
