We have a DS called Charlie. I didn't even love that name, it was more of a "yeah its ok, don't know what else to call him" but he really suits it.
Don't know what I'm having this time yet but there are hardly any names I like!

Boys -
Max. But I was bullied by a Max so not sure..
That's the only boys name I sort of like! Help.

Girls -
Robyn
Rhiannon (DP doesn't like)

Mia, Grace, Millie, Chloe, Georgia are all names I like but they're so popular. Plus they will have the most boring surname on the planet so I don't really want a repeat of Charlie! DP doesn't suggest names just pulls faces at mine.. grr!

Ben and Sam are very close family so really can't have them (if anyone I knows reads this, its so obvious who I am after all these names!)

CheerfulYank I did laugh at Will I Am! Imagine introducing him to my nan Grin but, William is a bit too royally linked with Charlie.

Isaac and Finn are nice, but there is a Finley already so hmm.. you've given me lots to think about though, so thanks all! My mind had gone blank

I feel the same! DP and I have settled on a girls name (we're not even planning to have kids for a few years but it's good to be prepared!) but neither of us can agree on a boys name. I like James, Rhuaridh, Struan, Owen, Christopher, Oliver and Joshua.

I totally understand that the two Scottish choices are a bit "marmite" but the others are pretty non offensive Grin

YouGot I suppose Henry/Harry is out then! :) Sorry, I'm American and don't always think of the royal family.

Shame as I quite liked Harry!

I have a Margaret and am considering (slightly) Elizabeth if this one is a girl. William for a boy. :)

I also like:

Aidan / Hayden
Marcus
Ciaran

Christian
Dominic
Zachary / Zac
