First baby due June 2017 and we started thinking of names, not sure if we're having a boy or girl yet but so far we like:
Emily, Isabel, Annabelle, Katherine, Eliza
Oscar, Oliver, Theodore, James, Harry

What do you think?

You need to think of what their nicknames will be. Whatever you choose will inevitably get shortened. I always said we wouldn't shorten our DD's but it has been.

Love Eliza, Oscar and Theodore especially.

Congratulations (flowers) I've got one due in June too!

Jooni · 08/12/2016 19:57

Ooops, fail. I meant Flowers, of course Blush

They all look like pretty standard, inoffensive names to me.

All lovely (except Harry; never liked the name).

Congratulations. :)

Katherine and James are my favourite, both age-less classics.

Eliza and Theodore

I think they are all good, solid, nice names. They are all pretty popular though, not sure if that bothers you or not?

If I had to choose, my favourites are Isabel (though I like the Isobel spelling for some random reason!) and Oliver. But they are all nice.

I like your taste in names.

My only comment is that I prefer Annabel to Annabelle, it's less fussy.

CakeRattleandRoll · 09/12/2016 00:05

My favourites are:
Katherine and Eliza
Oscar and Theodore
