Probably Willow for a girl & Harry for a boy.

Never heard of Nova for a boy thought that was a girls name.

motortroll · 01/08/2018 08:24

I love Vivian and Arno

ReckItWralf · 01/08/2018 08:28

Nova is a girls name.

Love Lyla and Grayson.

Raewyn is nice is nice as long as your surname isn’t Stone...?
My favourites are Demelza and Sebastian.

TatianaLarina · 01/08/2018 09:12

Sebastian is great, Harry’s ok, Arno is a river in Tuscany, the rest are awful.

What about Lyra or Luna instead of Lyla?

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 01/08/2018 09:48

Willow and Harry.

Stargirl90 · 01/08/2018 09:49

I really like willow and harry

Sophronia · 01/08/2018 11:10

I like Demelza, Devon and Vivian. Arno, Sebastian and Harry are ok.

LoveInTokyo · 01/08/2018 11:26

Raewyn - dunno, sounds a bit Game of Thrones
Lyla - OK but prefer Lila
Willow - OK
Demelza - I like this but everyone will assume you are a massive Poldark fan
Devon - no
Vivian - this is a boy's name, I would spell it Vivienne

Arno - looks like you forgot to finish writing Arnold, it's a no from me
Greyson - horrible
Sebastian - fine
Harry - fine
Nova - nice for a girl!
Riley - annoying American girl's name

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/08/2018 11:35

I love Demelza, Demelza Willow is nice.
I like Devon, for a boy.

Lyla and willow are really popular where I live. My daughter has a popular name too but I know some ppl prefer to avoid it.

Demelza is my guilty pleasure name. I adore it but OH would have a fit...boring sod! Grin

TeddyandLou · 02/08/2018 02:04

Hello ! My partner Louis and I are expecting any day now. Names?

MariaMadita · 02/08/2018 06:55

Demelza and Sebastian are great names.

I also like Willow and Harry.

Wholikesshortshorts · 02/08/2018 07:05

Demelza is the name of a well known children's hospice in London so it may be what a lot of people think of when they hear the name.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Thanks
