Verity for a girl, if I wash pushed I would say Euan for a boy but I don't actually like any of your boy names, sorry.

PenguinsandPandas · 05/02/2018 23:12

Callum or Euan for a boy and Imogen or Verity for a girl

Marv1nGay3 · 05/02/2018 23:15

I love Aiofe!

LadyGAgain · 05/02/2018 23:15

Rosaleen - Rosalie?
Not keen on the boys sorry. Kaelan? Kian?

flumpybear · 05/02/2018 23:18

Morven is very different - I like it

user1498549192 · 05/02/2018 23:18

Morven or Euan-lovely names!

elisa2502 · 05/02/2018 23:20

Avoid Callum! I teach in an ebd School we have loads of Callums!!!!

sydenhamhiller · 05/02/2018 23:32

Love love love love Morven. Considered it for DD1, but DH was not sure. He now wishes we had picked it: it’s rare, have only ever met one, a friend of a friend at Uni in Scotland was a Morven, and she was cool - hence positive name connotations.

BikeRunSki · 05/02/2018 23:34

Imogen and Euan

ClaudiaD13 · 05/02/2018 23:57

I love Aoife, it's always been on my girls shortlist (but never had a girl). I'm also liking Imogen and Morven.

I love Connal, (perhaps because it is a family name so positive connotations for me). I love Benedict too, and Euan, Euan was on my boy shortlist.

ChocolateCrunch · 06/02/2018 03:14

Morven or Callum

Rainbowsandflowers78 · 06/02/2018 03:16

Not morven

Brendan or caiomhe or verity

HuskyMcClusky · 06/02/2018 03:17

Imogen or Aoife. Don’t like Morven at all!

Euan is okay, don’t like the rest of the boy names much, tbh. Brendan is dreadful.

AnyaMoondial · 06/02/2018 07:30

I absolutely adore Morven. Aoife is sweet.

deptfordgirl · 06/02/2018 08:30

I love Verity.

Stringofpearls · 06/02/2018 08:32

I think Aoife is a really lovely name for a girl and Benedict is a great name for a boy.

17caterpillars1mouse · 06/02/2018 08:34

I adore Morven (doesn't go with my surname :( )

Also like Aoife and although people say its popular I only know 1

From your boys i love Ewan

mum2be2boys · 06/02/2018 09:23

Lovely name choices, I can see why you are having trouble deciding!

I'd go with Aoife and Callum.

TatianaLarina · 06/02/2018 09:32

From your list -

Imogen or Caoimhe

Connall or Connor or Benedict

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 06/02/2018 09:54

❤️ Rosalene, it's a beautiful name, and Connal.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 06/02/2018 09:55

*Sorry Rosaleen.
The above is my friend's name.

There is not much love for Brendan at all! I do quite like it. I'm glad Morven has had mainly a positive reception. I think it's beautiful.

I like Verity and Benedict. Not keen on the others.
