DH and I can't decide on a name for our baby due in a few weeks, we dont know what we're having so makes it even more difficult having to decide on 2 names. Just looking for opinions, suggestions and which of our names people prefer!
Girls names -
Matilda, Lola, Delilah, Keira, Aria, Olivia

Boys names-
Harley, Jed ( or Jedd?!), Harry, Rory ..
Please help us decide! Xx

Why not wait until they make an appearance? Half the names will be scrapped anyway and their little face might help you choose! Grin

Princess95 · 12/08/2017 20:16

Oh and Darcy for a boy!!?

Olivia and Rory getting my vote!

TheUpsideDown · 12/08/2017 20:18

I see you prefer girls names that end with an "ah" sound, and boys names that end with an "ee" sound

I like Olivia best from your girls names. I like Harry the best from your boys names

None are names I'd personally choose

Pollyann12 · 12/08/2017 20:22

I only like matilda and delilah utility of the girls and none of the boys. Sorry

Pollyann12 · 12/08/2017 20:22

Out of* the girls

Viviennemary · 12/08/2017 20:25

Olivia is certainly the best of the girls names and Rory the best of the boys. Darcy is beyond awful.

early30smum · 12/08/2017 20:32

Love all the girls names except Darcy. My favourite is Matilda. Definitely Harry or Rory for a boy.

strawberrypenguin · 12/08/2017 20:34

Lola or Matilda and Jed or Harry

lazycrazyhazy · 12/08/2017 20:34

Matilda or Rory get my vote. I do know a nice Jed but he's really Gerrard.

stitchglitched · 12/08/2017 20:34

Love Rory and Keira.

Blossomdeary · 12/08/2017 20:38

Not Delilah - all I can hear is Tome Jones hollering in my ear!

17caterpillars1mouse · 12/08/2017 21:00

Matilda - I like Matilda but they are absolutely everywhere around here
Lola - dislike
Delilah - gorgeous and unusual. My favourite of your choices
Keira - I like it
Aria - I find it a bit meh
Olivia - pretty

Harley - strongly dislike
Jed ( or Jedd?!) - Jed is ok. Jedd is not
Harry - I find it a bit boring
Rory - nice but I prefer as a nn for Gregory

RiverTam · 12/08/2017 21:02

Keira
Rory

Sophronia · 12/08/2017 21:35

Matilda or Delilah, and Harry or Rory.

Discobabe98 · 12/08/2017 21:39

I like Lola and Delilah, and Harley and Rory. Also like Darcy for a boy, how about Darby?

BuzzKillington · 12/08/2017 21:41

Darcy is just mimsy - don't do it.

Threeandabit · 12/08/2017 21:45

I like Harley, Olivia and Rory from your list. Smile

Girls' - Kristin, Theodora, Laura, Daniella, Esmé, Nicoletta, Louise, Leah and Renée.

ShmooBooMoo · 12/08/2017 22:15

Sorry, don't like any of the girls' names.

Orla or Nina for a girl?

I do like Harry for a boy. My personal fave boys' name is Nathan.

justcanthide · 12/08/2017 22:18

Matilda and Harry

Princess95 · 13/08/2017 10:51

Ive just come across a girls name that I love.... Everlee! What do you think? Grin

OP posts:
Sugarpiehoneyeye · 13/08/2017 12:16

I've only seen the spelling Everly, but I like it.

Kazzawazza69 · 13/08/2017 18:56

Matilda - like
Lola - like
Delilah - ok
Keira - ok
Aria - love
Olivia - love but too popular
Everlee - ok but would prefer Everlie or Everleigh spellings

Harley - my nephew's name - love it
Jed/Jedd - not sure about this one but definitely only needs one d
Harry - really like it but too popular
Rory - love
Darcy - nice for a girl but not for a boy

So my choices would be Aria or Rory 😊
