Hi all
Currently looking for names and need some fresh ideas!
So what I want to know is;
What would you name your kids if it was completely up to you? And why?
Thanks all!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Girl - Lorna or Mairi
Boy -Gregor or Keir

Reasons for all - fit my culture, love the sound, normal but not really common/popular, can imagine them on a baby, toddler, child, teenager and most importantly, an adult of all ages. Can see anyone in any occupation with them.

Boy - Joshua. I have loved the name ever since watching Cold Feet as a teen. Or Harry.

Girl - Sophie. As I just think it is a lovely name. Or Alice as everyone I have ever met with that name has been a wonderful person.

I loved Sybil for a girl and Angus for a boy but was vetoed on both. I love old fashioned names

Picknickers · 14/07/2018 23:35

Vera and Patrick. Vetoed on both.

Hippopotas · 14/07/2018 23:49

Beregaria for a girl
Anselm for a boy

I really want Luca for a boy, but DH doesn't like it 😣 he said he can't imagine a grown up Luca in a professional environment. I think that about cutesy names like Teddy but not Luca!!

I wanted Miriam for the girl we never had. Also love Cecilia which wouldn’t have worked w our surname. We have 2 boys and I love their names but they were slight compromises. Growing up I always loved Aiden after going to Holy Island but it’s now having this weird popularity and sounds like Jayden etc.

Aurelia
Gabriel
Quinn
Rosa
Rosalie
Tauriel
Rapha
Luca

Inlov Stanley, Sidney and Ellis. I really like Marley too but I don't know if I would have the balls to name my child that. I love Violet and Everly for girls.

HJL2506 · 15/07/2018 10:12

I love^

Elliebobbins · 15/07/2018 10:18

Girl: Tabitha or Felicity
Boy: Hmmm I struggle with boys names. Probably Elliot or Julian atm.

Elliebobbins · 15/07/2018 10:35

Oops I missed the why bit. I tend to overthink things and I'm not always sure what I like or don't like but my immediate reaction upon hearing Tabitha was that I thought it was a really cool name. I love the meaning of Felicity and for me it is about remembering happiness is out there when you feel like you'll never find it again.

My family has a tradition of using names will Elle or Lee sounds in so Elliot is a great honour name for multiple relatives and I just like the sound of it. I just like Julian (I also like Julia) but it does also remind me of someone who helped me out at a really difficult time.

I have a DD Molly. If she was a boy she would have been Anton. The Funny thing is though..I don't like either of those names now. Mind you DD does suit her name to a T

If I had a boy he'd be Gabriel Patrick
A girl would be either. Daisy. Olivia Lois
Hannah. katie. Ciara. Poppy. Kayla. Eva.
Lucy. Darcy. Maude. Sybil. Lisa. Nina.Lydia.
Dorothy. Chloe. Vivienne.
