Favourite names

[reindeerbitesback]

What are your favourite names? Guilty pleasures or the names of/plans for DC, throw it all at me.

I'm a bit too early on in my pregnancy to be putting together name lists so I'm just throwing a few of my favourites out there in hope of a little feedback, and asking for yours in return for inspiration.

Boys: Clement, Laurent, Bellamy, Ezra, Heath, Christopher, John, Jack/Jaques, Ernest, Wren.

Girls: Margo(t), Cecily, Delphine, Rose, Eleanor (Nelle, Nora), Wilhelmina, Colette, Magdalena.

OH isn't keen on most of these

Boys
Seth
Joss
Anthony

Girls
Tabitha
Guinevere (guilty pleasure)
Morgan
Margot

I have a Rose already OP, :D

user Rose is such a perfect name - great choice. Adding Seth to my own list now too.

I really like Martha, Eleanor, Charlotte, Evelyn (nn Eve or Evie).
Unfortunately DP didn't like any of them so it's a good job we had a boy.

Oh Mariella too!

ponder -Martha! Beautiful name.

Lovely names, I really like

Clement
Laurent
Christopher
Quentin

Cecily
Magdalena
Wilhelmina
Celestine

Millicent, Jean, Alison, Caroline, Natalia, Christine, Pandora, Lucia

Erik, Raoul, Roderick, Nathaniel, Gerard, Simon, Alexander

I love Margot OP, it was my frontrunner through both my pregnancies (I had sons). I also really love Bellamy.

I like Wren for a girl, but not a boy.

Other names I like:
Sadie
Sian
Megan
Quinn
Genevieve
Harriet

Boys:
Angus (DH vetoed)
Hamish
Nicholas
Luca
Connor
Rory

If I ever have another boy (have three already!) I think I'd go for Christopher David,
ive never even pondered girls names because I've never even suspected I've been pregnant wth one!

Serena.

I really want to use it. Don't feel brave enough!

(Bloody love Margot and Cecily from your choices. Also love Cicely)

Boys: Leo, Harrison, Aidan, Blake
Girls: Maia, Kara, Alexa, Sienna, Lennox
Unisex (that I would actually use for either): Harper, Harley

Oh and I already have an Alexis which I love obviously

Girls:

Margot
Aspen
Alice
Blythe
Emmeline
Vivienne
Clover
Blossom
Hero (but would never be brave enough to use it)

Boys:

Hector
Sebastian
Jago
Spike
Buzz
Rafferty
Felix
Dexter
Barto (this is not even a name in its own right but I like it)
...all of which were vetoed by DH

thinkpink - Vivienne is another name in the back of my mind, it is so pretty. I also really like Hector.

Skyyequake - I love the name Harper for a boy, but the current popularity of it as a girls name puts me off a little

unoriginal - Serena is beautiful, what requires bravery to use it?

gruffalos - CELESTINE. Ugh, OH has all but vetoed both Celeste and Celestine and I am gutted It is so elegant.

My favourites from your lists are:
Boys: Clement and John (Agree with pp that Wren is more of a girl's name).
Girls: Margot and Colette

Some of mine:
Boys: Osian, Felix, Edward, Jago, Nathaniel
Girls: Miranda, Miriam, Elspeth, Tabitha, Corisande

reindeer lots of people are calling their girls James at the moment... I don't think anyone will blink twice at a boy having a unisex name!

I loved Loveday for a girl. DH thinks we're lucky to have had boys.

But I also like Star, Seren, Otillie, Bo and Lilleth.

Buzz was vetoed off my boys list too.

Damn that DH and his middle of the road sensibilities!

Quentin, Julian, James, Christian, Reuben

Florence, Zara, Heidi, Ellie

doittojulia - I know a Loveday, I thought it a very odd name upon first hearing but it had grown on me hugely in recent years.

cakerattleandroll - (love your user btw) Osian is one of my OH's favourites. It's nice to hear of others who like the name, I find it reassuring for some reason.

I have for a boy:
Daniel
Sebastian
Freddie
Robert

For a girl:
Erin
Niamh
Simone
Wren
