What the bloody hell do I call my baby?

[BeautifulBlue]

We aren’t sure what we’re having yet, but will be finding out in about 6 weeks which will narrow things down. Problem is I don’t know/like a single boy or girls name! I’m not ruling anything out. We have one DD who’s name we came up with almost instantly - this time round no such luck. Help!! What would you call your baby?!

What’s your DD’s name and what style names do you like e.g traditional, modern, flower names etc?

Do you have a list of names that you sort of like, or that you like but are unusable - we can then suggest names based on these if you'd like.

DD’s name is Pippa. I really like names out of all those styles! But none that have blown me away as of yet!

What sort of names do you like? Thankfully we all have different tastes!

Personally I would choose

Florence
Clara
Beatrice

Frederick
Quentin
Magnus

I kind of like Charlotte & Lottie for short. But DH has ruled this out as it’s an ex girlfriends name & he thinks it’s to popular. Kind of like Joshua for a boy but we have 2 Joshua’s in the family already so it’s out! Also like max but a friends boy passed away named max so would be very insensitive.

Get a baby book, cheap one and felt tip and just cross them out...
Get daddy to help...
Harriet is my fav... Love the nick names as well.

Harriet
Cora

We wanted a name that no one in the family had nor friends and that was not popular this year or recent years even, we settled on Jenson for our boy in the end. We've since heard the name pop up a few times for new boys this year.

Good luck!

Leila
Ramona

Tessa for a girl and Thomas (Tom) for a boy.
