Names you would pick if it was just up to you

[happytobemrsg]

If I didn't have to agree a name with DH I'd call my girl Elsie & my boy Ezra

What about you?

Boy: Ezra. Elliott
Girl: Posy. Ellen.

Juno or Aifric for a girl. DH was very much against. I knew I was expecting a girl so only thought about girl names. Not really that gone on any boy's names.

Flora, Faye, Tempest

'No it's butter'
'No, I knew an awful girl called that'
'Just, no.'

Most sad about Faye. Wanted that since I was a little girl myself.

Ned- vetoed because of Game of Thrones
Imogen- "too posh" apparently

Oooh! I’ve seen Griffin twice, that’s ds name :)

I’d like Willow or Talon

Charles (Charlie) - family name my side but DP not keen, well likely compromise and have a Charlotte in there somewhere
Roman, Tristan - love both these names and actually DP doesn't dislike them, but they're not very 'us'
Georgiana - my favourite ever girls name, DP says it's pretentious he has a point
Helena - sooo beautiful but again, DP says pretentious
Corinne - he says it sounds like either green or coffin depending on how you say it 🤔
Nora - DP just hates this one 😂

Boys-
Ruben
Harry
Oliver
Elio
Atlantis

Girls-
Matilda
Scarlett
September
River
Charlotte
Lilly
Rosie
Evie

Lila
Astrid
Mary

Max
Alexander
Nicholas

Bit of an odd mix there!

I do love Posy but it always makes me think of unfortunate but true

William for a boy or Indiana for a girl.

Both vetoed (relative of DP called William and Indiana was "too out there")

Our DS has a top 10 name and both DD's have old lady names outside of top 100.

DS would have been George or Felix. Girls names we agree on!

If it was totally up to me (even though we've gone with Winston which I hadn't thought of before and actually love now), I always dreamed my son would be;

Hallam Gabriel Jude or Hallam Gabriel Keir

Literally everyone I've asked has hated Hallam though and said it sounds like Halal so probably a good thing.

Winifred nn Freddie.

Ramona and Gulliver. I have a Heidi and Leo instead.

Harrison and Sydney.

We have Elaina, Alyssa, Erica, Anareha, Jody and Addsion instead.

Genevieve and Peter!

I loved Elvis for a boy and if i had had a girl i would have wanted to use Constance or Nancy.

I have a long list of boys names that I loved and my partner hated:
Sol
Evan
Laurie
Seth
Saul
Silas

Still love Sol. Sighs wistfully.

Ada and Alisdair

Got my second choice for DS though

Huckleberry and Honeysuckle.

Barbara!

Rhydian or Arthur for me

Nancy

Wilf! I'm desperate to call him Wilf but OH is not having it at all!

Girls I'd pick:

Aurelia
Anne
Cecily
Reinette

Boy I'd pick

Thomas
Robert
James
Henry.
