I am just over 16 weeks and wanted to gee myself up a bit as the weeks are passing by slowly! So I thought I'd take a look at some names - they're in no preference order, but I like them all! What do you think of -

Boys:
Arthur
Toby/Tobias
Gabriel
Seth
Felix
Nathaniel
Ezra
Miles
Wilfred
Benedict

Girls:
Phoebe
Matilda
Violet
Penelope
Zoe
Katherine
Claudia
Clementine
Genevieve
Ingrid

Our surname rhymes with 'tardy' so trying to avoid (if poss) names which end in the 'dee' sound.
Are there any more I could add to the list? Thank you! Smile

Wilfred is my favourite, followed by Miles. Both names that are known but not too popular so fresh-sounding. Arthur and Toby are both very popular at the moment so I would steer clear of these if you want something that won't blur into the background.
Seth too lispy for me. Like Nathaniel but really dislike the almost inevitable shortening Nat.

For girls, I love Genevieve ( nickname Gigi or Genny) and Penelope.

Have fun deciding...
