I have one of those very annoying DHs who doesn't particularly enjoy the process of picking names for our dc, has absolutely zero suggestions etc. I need to present him with a shortlist for discussion and wondered if you lot could help me whittle it down a bit.

We already have a Jemima and a Cleo.

BOYS:
Amos
Austin
Basil
Caspian
Fergus
Gideon
Jasper
Judah
Levi
Otis
Rufus
Rupert
Zebedee

GIRLS:
Alba
Allegra
Alma
Annie
Audrey
Coral
Dorothy
Georgia
Hazel
Juniper
Martha
Nancy
Noelle
Olive
Paloma
Ramona
Rosa
Tansy
Verity
Wren

Caspian or Jasper for a boy

Hazel or Nancy for a girl

Aw I love the sound of Jemima, Cleo and Audrey together. Think they go really nicely. Cleo is one of my favourites!

Boy wise, Fergus is adorable! Love Rupert and Jasper too. My DH is similar really, we have a shortlist of about ten names, but he keeps saying "we've got 6 weeks after they're born to decide!" 😄

My favourites are Austin and Wren.

I like Jasper, Otis and Rufus for a boy.
I like Alba, Olive and Rosa for a girl.

Don't like any of the others for various reasons

Zebedee and Amos Grin well they are the best for comedy value

BlackberryandNettle · 07/10/2017 23:22

Austin, Cassius or Rufus.
Georgia (love, nickname Georgie) or maybe Allegra.

You have a Cleo! It is on our list. Can I ask - does she like it/do people tend to like it/any probs with it?

LadyPug · 07/10/2017 23:37

Amazing names, hard to choose as so many good ones but love Rufus and Georgia

millymae · 08/10/2017 00:01

I didn't get further than the names at the top of your lists, so
Jemima, Cleo and Amos
Jemima, Cleo and Alba

RoboticSealpup · 08/10/2017 09:30

I love Gideon

Shopkinsdoll · 08/10/2017 09:35

Zebedee and basil? Your having a laugh aren't you? Why the need for these silly names? A child has got to live with this the rest of his poor life! 😡

Leilaniii · 08/10/2017 09:37

Some very cool names there. I would vote for Austin and Nancy.

Twinkie1 · 08/10/2017 09:39

Annie and Rufus

Allthecake · 08/10/2017 22:02

Boys - my favourite is Jasper, and IMO Zebedee is pretty bad (sorry). How about Raphael?
Girls - I like quite a few of your choices, have always loved Hazel but Noelle is my favourite.

lovelyjubilly · 08/10/2017 22:29

Wow what a range of responses!

Shopkins 😂

Blackberry Cleo loves her name. She gets called Chloe a bit but is quite happy to politely correct them!
