Penny or Pippa, Kit or Peter.

[Decaffstilltastesweird]

Currently pregnant with dc2. Nothing is set in stone re names yet, but ATM we are thinking of either Penny / Nellie (Penelope on bc) for a girl, Kit (Christopher on bc) or Peter for a boy.

Thoughts and suggestions welcome! We like classic names, leaning towards those popular in the 80s / 90s. No particular reason for that, they just seem to be the names we like. I'm not generally a fan of anything but the longer / full name on bc, though there are some exceptions.

Other girl names we like are Katie (one of the exceptions^^), Juliet and Niamh. We're sort of stuck for boys except the two I've already mentioned.

Pippa!

pippa!

Sorry, should also have said Pippa would be Philippa on the bc.

Pippa or Kit

Definitely Penelope and Kit! Peter is one of my least favourite names in the world ever so sorry about that!

All nice. I like Penny and Kit best

Thanks all!

No worries hobnob, my sister has said the same for years! I know two beautiful Peters which I think has coloured my view .

Really lovely names, I prefer the Kit option of the 2 boys names. I totally agree on full names on BC

Just had a thought tho ( as we all have shortened names as family names ) be careful of Pip and Kit sounds a little like you could be calling out pick it

I really do love the names tho

Penny and Kit.

Lovely.

Love Penelope in full as well, Kit is unsusal I don't know any.

Yes cherry, or 'picket' I suppose...!

I don't imagine they will ever be siblings though, as this is most likely going to be our last baby.

I like them ALL. Probably leaning more towards Penny and Kit. Beautiful choices OP!

Another who really doesn't like Peter.

Kit is lovely. Also like Penny and Nellie.

Pippa and Kit by a mile - fab names.

Team Pip and Kit

From your original post I like Juliet or Julia maybe. I'm just not a fan of Penelope - it's just one of those names I don't "get". I find Niamh quite dated, Pippa is nice. I like Peter, always have done, it was one of my husbands favourite names for each of our three daughters .

I love Peter! Peter or Philippa are my favourites.

Doesn't pippa mean bj in some languages? Just a thought...

It does raspberry! Or is it wank? Not sure. Either way, I can live with it, as we live in the U.K. It doesn't seem to bother Pippa Middleton or the numerous other Pippas I know. If she can't stand it then she can always be Philippa or Pip .

Peter is French for "to fart" as well, but again, as we live in the U.K., I don't imagine it will be an issue. They're pronounced totally differently anyway (I speak French). If we ever move to a francophone country, I will introduce him as Pierre!

Pippa and Kit

Pippa and Kit!

Penny and Kit

Juliet and peter

Love them! Don't like Nellie but love Nell. I really like Peter.

Any! (No help!)

Thanks everyone! I've counted up opinions (saddo ) and it's 7 each for Pippa and Penny! That confirms my feelings on it as I can't choose between them either. If it's a girl, I'll just have to wait to see her and decide then. I've got ages to go yet.

Kit is by far the favourite on here I think. I won't write Peter off just yet though.

Thanks again!
