I'm 32 weeks, but feel a sense of urgency to decide. My dh and I can't agree and he thinks we have lots of time left. We have some names on our lists (we don't know if it's a boy or girl) but none that I adore. We already have a 2 year old ds called Milo. Below are our frontrunners. Please feel free to suggest some more (we don't want anything too popular).

Boys:

Jed
Wes
Gabriel (but would be called Gabe)
Lenny
Rémy (my dh not keen on the last two)

Girls:

Inès
Ramona
Estelle

Love your girls list.

Most of the boys names appear to be shortened versions. Would you actually give the full name and then shorten? I can relate I shorten everything.

Not keen on Lenny or Remy

Only1scoop · 06/10/2015 08:44

Dougie
Chester
Oscar
Dudley
Buster

We wouldn't give a longer version of Jed - he would be just Jed, but Wes would have the full name Wesley. I don't think we'd use the full version though.

Wow, I would say your girls names are the total opposite end of the spectrum to Milo! But I'm generally in the 'siblings don't need to match' camp so I don't know why I'm saying that.

I really like Gabriel. Would Wes be short for anything?

Ramona is really cool and I know a lovely little one.

For me it would be Gabe and Ramona.

Wesley or Estelle.

BreeVDKamp · 06/10/2015 08:55

Sorry cross post re. Wes.

LucozadeBreath · 06/10/2015 08:56

Ramona is beautiful!!

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 06/10/2015 09:01

From your selection I like Gabe and Wesley, and for a DD probably Ramona.

Other suggestions:
Mason
Joel
Luciana
Ariana

Like all of your girls names, but from the boys I'm only fussed on Gabe/Gabriel which I love.

TreadSoftlyOnMyDreams · 06/10/2015 10:31

Jed and Gabriel I like

Gabriella/Gabrielle
Stella [I think it works with Milo better]
or Ines [which is lovely but tricky if you are UK based as it will always be mispronounced

Romana is gorgeous, love it.

Not overly fussed on your boys names but Gabriel is lovely.

Sophronia · 06/10/2015 12:13

Gabriel and Ramona

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 06/10/2015 12:36

Gabe or Estelle.

ashesandfire · 06/10/2015 14:02

I don't like any of your boys names except Gabriel, which I love. I like it with Milo too.
Ramona is great and sounds fab with Milo IMO. I like Ines too but not Estelle which reminds me of the crazy agent in Friends!

Ficidy · 06/10/2015 14:27

Ha, ashes, I was afraid people would think of her! I do really like Gabriel, but I'm just slightly worried about playground namecalling (ie 'Gabe is gay'). Am I over-thinking things? It looks like Ramona is the most popular here out of my girls names. That's good.

Any more suggestions for names?
