So we have a very unexpected miraculous Pregnancy and I need some names.

I love the names
Harriet
Lauren
Georgia

Daniel
Edward Ted
Christopher (Kit)

DH likes
Fiona
Atticus.. that's it but he's struggling to feel like this pregnancy will result in a baby who needs a name so I'm hoping Mumsnet will come and give us some ideas!

I'd love to have a name with meaning. I had a dream last night that I called our baby Evangeline haha!

Congratulations.

I like all those names except for Atticus. (It’s not awful, I’m just not especially keen.)

It sounds like you like names which are more from the 80s generation. (Your own generation, perhaps?)

Some more suggestions:

Hannah
Claire
Natalie
Emma
Katherine
Eleanor
Amy

Jonathan
Samuel
Nathan
Luke
James
Robert

Abigail (Her father's joy)
Amy (Beloved)
Victoria

Gabriel
James
Finbar
Alexander
Leo
Jude

Congratulations. Smile

Dorothea/Theadora - gift
David - beloved

What about Laurel instead of Lauren which is a bit dated. Or Fia instead of Fiona?

Evangeline (meaning 'good news') would be a wonderful name for your baby. What about:

Evangeline Joy
Evangeline Charis
Evangeline Harriet

For a boy, I'd think about:
Theodore (Ted) Atticus
Felix Jonathan

I hope everything goes well.
