Hi all!

Only just found out I am expecting DC2. I've been looking through the names I had long listed for DC1 and picking my favourites.
Which of these do you prefer...

Boys
Emrys
Jonah
Prince
Roman

Girls
Etta
Hazel
Luca
Reina
Romy

I love Etta.
Please don't use Prince. That's a hell of a name to saddle a small boy with.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 05/10/2018 20:04

Love Romy. That’s all though.

DramaAlpaca · 05/10/2018 20:06

The boys' names aren't my thing at all, except for Luca which is on the girls' list but is actually a boys' name.

I like Hazel from your girls' list.

Boys
Emrys - Welsh. Will get shortened to Em.
Jonah - look him up. No
Prince - no. Might be ok for a dog.
Roman - not sure. Polanski association.

Girls
Etta - Lamb
Hazel - ok
Luca - no
Reina - Rayner. no
Romy - ok

I love Etta

unexpectedtwist · 05/10/2018 20:10

Emrys is Merlin's Druid name.

I love it.

Racecardriver · 05/10/2018 20:12

I thought that luca was a boys name?

Srilli · 05/10/2018 20:13

Luca is a boys name for sure.
Etta is lovely!!

KellyMarieTunstall2 · 05/10/2018 20:15

Emrys and Hazel. Prince is awful.

teletuby · 05/10/2018 20:21

Luca is a unisex name - I know a girl Luca. I think it's lovely!

DC18 · 05/10/2018 20:30

I love Emrys and Romy x

QueenNovo · 05/10/2018 20:33

I like Jonah from the boys list and either Romy or Hazel from the girls.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 05/10/2018 20:42

Roman and Romy

overmydeadbody · 05/10/2018 20:45

Roman is a nice name

Prince is awful, don't do that to your poor boy.

I don't like any of your girl's names, sorry.

DollyDayScream · 05/10/2018 20:48

I'm not sure about any of your names.

Roman and Romy are ok, the others aren't great (IMO).

How about...

Rowan (boy)
Mallory (girl)

finallychangedmyusername · 05/10/2018 21:07

Jonah is great, as is Luca (for a boy). Romy is nice as a nickname for Rosemary and I like Etta as a nickname too, for Henrietta or Juliet or even Violet.

Shadow1234 · 05/10/2018 22:24

Roman and Emrys (lovely names)
Luca and Romy (so pretty)

I know a Romy and a Luca - both 22.

Budgieinaberet · 05/10/2018 22:27

Etta 🌟

Narya · 05/10/2018 22:28

Congrats on your pregnancy OP. In general these names aren't really my taste, but Jonah is quite nice. Hazel is my favourite of your girls names. Luca is definitely a boys name imo.

BurtTyrannosaurusMacklin · 05/10/2018 22:34

Boys: love Emrys and Jonah, HATE Prince and Roman

Girls:
Etta - love
Hazel - nice
Luca - associate more as a boy’s name so wouldn’t choose it myself although nothing inherently wrong with it. Maybe Lucia?
Reina - not a massive fan
Romy - don’t like

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 05/10/2018 22:38

I like Etta & Hazel

Sorry not a fan of any of your boy's names

BackforGood · 05/10/2018 22:57

I like Emrys if you have Welsh blodd - I think I'd get fed up of the question though.
I like Johah
Prince is especially awful.

Hazel is the only one of your girls's names I like. Well, I don't really like it, but it is better than the rest.

whatausername · 05/10/2018 23:12

Prince is horrendous. Luca is a male name to my mind. Lucy or Lucia would work better for a girl/woman.

Picknickers · 06/10/2018 00:17

Emrys and Hazel. Both great.

Sungura · 06/10/2018 02:32

I like any of your girls names, but for the boys, I only like Jonah.
