Dh and I have narrowed our choices down to the following (I use narrowed in the loosest sense of the word!) help me whittle them down!
Girls:
Francesca
Valentina
Serena
Aurelia
Delilah
Willow
Darcy
Imogen
Ariana

Boys:
Harry
Isaac
Joseph
Samuel
Aiden
Felix
Jenson
Nathan
Jude
Austin

Girls middle name is likely to be Grace and boys most likely George (after ds) we have a short surname beginning with B.

With apologies to any MNers who've already done it... Please (as a lady of ample thigh myself) don't call a baby that has any possibility of being on the chunky side "willow". It's just not fair.

Oh I'm intrigued! I don't make the connection at all though so it can't be that bad..? Or maybe I'm just totally obtuse!

Willow? Well a willowy figure is tall, graceful and elegant.

I think it's mean to saddle call short chubby girls with it. I am a short chubby girl myself, hence my concern!

Good point Shocking, I hadn't thought of that. But yes, I'm glad I'm not called Willow! I think if I had to be called a name myself I'd go for Imogen from the girl list.

Aurelia was the top of my list before I met my DP but he has a close family friend called that, and she's a cow, so the name is off limits. But I think it is a beautiful name and encourage everyone to use it.

Otherwise Francesca as that is now at the top of my list! Saying that, don't choose it - I don't want it becomming too common Smile

Thank you so much for all your help! Your right I hadn't considered that about the name willow! I just thought it was pretty! Willow is out as I'm 5ft 4 and a size 14 on a good day she's unlikely to be tall and willowy!
I also think of a blonde girl when I hear it now and we all have chocolate brown hair. Ok we've had a good old whittle and final 4's are:
Francesca
Aurelia
Ariana
Cosima
(I know this wasn't even in my original list but a rl friend of ours suggested it and we loved it)

Joseph (yes I like joe/y not an issue)
Harry
Jude
Isaac

Thoughts appreciated as my due date was yesterday! .... I'm melting Confused
