Girls names.

Arwen or Edith.

One is my favourite, one is DHs favourite.

Boys names baffle me, I cant find any that I like, let alone love.

DC due February. This is our first (and only) DC together. I have 2DDs from PR and he has 1DS from PR.

A lot of people will assume you are extreme fans of LOTR if you go for Arwen (perhaps you are, and that's the attraction?)

I could learn to like Arwen but I'll never like Edith. I do love Edie though.

DH is a huge Tolkien fan. Lots of first edition books etc knocking about. Luckily we arent having twin boys because once, when slightly drunk, I may have agreed to call them Melkor and Morgoth Shock And he reminds me of that All The Time Grin

The two boys names we like are Biblical Grin Ezra and Elijah. I dont love either of them though.

Our surname is Hungarian, DH also has Scottish roots. Mine are Welsh and Romanian.

Good job we have till February! Im finding it really tricky this time around.

I was in the same position..
Had a list of both boy and girls names. We couldn't agree. Until my son was born and the nurse asked us. Blanked faced still not chosen. Until my grandmother piped up 'Regan' his name is Regan. It means little king. We both loved it... problem solved. Lol
Also liked keelan for for a boy. Atlanta or Lexi for a girl.

DD2s shortlist was Gia, Isabella and Amelia. (ExDP Italian.) I vetoed Isabella due to the Twilight connection, Ex vetoed Gia. We settled on Amelia after I looked it up and it wasnt in the Top 50. Now its Number Bloody One Envy Although Ive not come across any other Amelias (Im in the East Midlands.)
