A sibling for Edith

[DorothyBastard]

We have an Edith (nearly 2yo), and I am now pregnant again. Both DH and I like old-fashioned names; he prefers the more traditional side (Like Peter, Rose, Ernest, Lillian) and I like the more 'boring', less liked sort of names (like Geoffrey, Clive, Maud, Myrtle).

What other names might we both like? We're not finding out the sex of the baby so we need to think of both girls' and boys' names.

Er... olive, Sybil, Margaret
Colin, martin, Bernard?

Martha, Rebecca, Annie

Arthur, Albert, Percy

Sybil or Mary!!!!

Cecil. Hubert, Herbert, Lionel

Henrietta, Mabel, Dulcie, Bunty

Cedric, Francis/Frank, Gerald, Hugh

Geraldine, Moira, Audrey, Willa

Heartstrumpdiamonds you beat me to it! I second Sybil or Mary!

Norah or Philip?

I know an Edith and her sister is called Olive.

Some fantastic names here, thank you all. I particulary love Olive (but don't think we could use as I already have a family member called this) Bernard, and Audrey.

I also love Duncan. And Kevin. Kevin needs to make a comeback.

Agnes and Margot, obviously!

Olive is a lovely name - almost used it for dd.

The name we used for dd was a cousin's name so don't let that put you off.....!

Camber for a boy, Beattie for a girl

Rats DH has been told a few times that he looks like Gru...

Joy is lovely. I find girls names much easier than boys, that's where we're both struggling.

okay, so more boys then?
