Finding out the sex of baby via harmony test next week!

Love Josie. It's really unusual, but a proper name. I knew one when my 11yo Ds was little and then she moved. Never came across another, but of course there is Josie Lawrence.

Josie or Mieke. I think Josie goes better with Emmylou but they both sound nice.

I love Leon. I don't think Emmylou and Leon are too much together, but not sure about Leon O'Neill. I feel your surname pain as my surname ends in 'el' and all the first names I liked ended in 'el' too and sounded terrible with surname (Daniel, Gabriel, Joel etc.).

Oooh exciting that you'll know soon.

Miele Josefin is lovely.
Leon Sebastian.

How about Miele Dyson ?

Sadly just found out it died at 8 weeks. It should have been 10 weeks tomorrow. Had a scan due to bleeding and there was no heartbeat. Cancelled my harmony test. This sucks.

Oh GrumpySquirrel I really am so very sorry. Life can be absolutely shit sometimes. Best of luck to you and your family.

I am so sorry. All the best to you and your family.

Oh no.

I'm so very sorry.

So sorry to hear that, squirrel. It's heartbreaking to lose a baby. Xx

Very happy to be pregnant again and have 8wk scan on Saturday... 💗

That is such wonderful news! Congratulations.

Love all the names and their diminutives.

If I were you I’d go Mieke, because you legitimately can. I couldn’t claim Dutch heritage and use it...

Lord that’ll teach me not to read the whole thread... Congratulations on your pregnancy x

Girl-
Nina, but I don't like your middle names. Persephone is awful and Josephin looks very masculine.

Boy-
Leon Sebastien or Leon Julien.
Finbar is awful.

Just read the whole thread.

Congratulations on your pregnancy OP

What lovely news Grumpy, many congratulations. 💐

Thanks everyone... updated list (will figure out middle names later!)

Congratulations on your pregnancy, how lovely 🌹

Heath for a boy? Hugo?

I like Mieke Josephine (Josie) and Sebastien of your names so far.

Love Persephone and Max - my top names!

Mieke- I taught a Mika once.

Leon

I like Nina Persephone and Frederick Julien!

I like Mieke a lot and I also like Carmen from your new list. Then I like Hunter and Sebastian, but I think Hunter might be more of a controversial choice. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Also, I think I might know your mum!!

Oh god I've outed myself haven't I primula 🤣

I actually love the name Hunter for a boy but I think DH might chicken out. And my dd doesn't like it

Carmen is my fave for a girl but DH doesn't like it. Freya or Josie are strong contenders
