So we are due our first in 6 weeks time and haven't come up with any names!
We're having a surprise and I'd ideally like to narrow it down to 3/5 of each type so we have a few options to see what suits when baby comes.

We'd like a classic not overly popular name that isn't too out there either
Names we kinda like but aren't suitable for different reasons (doesn't go with surname, already one in the family, one of us know someone with that name and don't like them etc) are as follows

Carlisle
Xavier
Julian
Leon
James

Carmen
Ava
Olivia
Juliet
Ivy
Rose
Darcy

Anybody got any suggestions?

Just seen you like classic, and unusual.
Scratch Olivia, then..It's been the top girl's name for years

The one that jumped out was Carmen.
Carlisle is terrible.

Carmen or James.
The others are a bit meh.

JollyGiraffe · 08/12/2017 10:18

Not sure people have quite grasped that's the list that he OP likes but can't use...

OK, sorry, I misunderstood.
Carmel is nice.
Matthew is a bit like James.
