If we have a boy, we are firmly decided on Zachary Christopher (Zack for short).

For a girl, we are definite on middle name (Rose) but it's between these:

Megan Rose
Amelia Rose
Lauren Rose
Robyn Rose
Isabella Rose

I also really like Eloise (though wouldn't go with Rose) but OH won't as he once snogged a girl called Eloise (doesn't bother me).

Concerned re Megan also - both of us have loved Megan independently of one another for years, but now with Meghan Markle, expecting an influx of Megan's.

I don't actually know why I'm asking as only 5 weeks, had a MMC last time at 9.5 weeks and so not even certain we will get there. But I do like thinking about names!

I love the name Amelia

Oh I know - OH being silly. I mean I'd get it if it was an ex, but it's not! It's one of his cousins friends though and I think she had a bit of a "thing" for him (well before me) and wanted to date him but it was unrequited.

I've always loved Eloise - since reading the books since I was a kid. Such a bloody pity re Megan - and I'd be worried kids would call her smegan!! Shock

Now he's said he doesnt actually like the name Eloise so that's that's I guess! Oh well. Plenty time!

How about Louisa, Elodie or Amelie instead? Louisa Rose has a nice ring to it!

Megan Rose.

Isabella

If we had another DD (which we're not; no more DCs here), I really like the name Verity at the moment.

Verity Rose would be pretty.

Verity is beautiful

I have two daughters - Robyn and Zerren.

Megan

Lauren Rose is beautiful!

OP we have the same taste in names! Scary! You've got our fav boy name and 3 of our girls names! I love Lauren and Robyn with Rose (as long as your surname isn't an R).

Do you like Eleanor or Imogen?

Megan Rose - OK but a bit blah.
Amelia Rose - hate the name Amelia...can never believe it's so popular & can only assume people don't realise it's the name of a birth defect.
Lauren Rose - Lauren is a bit dated...90s.
Robyn Rose - Love it. Best by far.
Isabella Rose - Isabella is a beautiful name. Very popular but that's because it's lovely. Sounds like a question with a noun middle name though - 'Is a bell a rose?' No...it's a bell.

I love Megan Rose and have also thought Meg and Meggie to be lovely nicknames for both a child and adult.
The second fav for me would be Isabella, shortened to Bella rather than Issy.
Best of luck with your pregnancy and i'm sorry for your previous loss. Try to stay positive x

Robyn by a long chalk

Megan is nice but may become v popular
