Hi all,

My due date is fast approaching (37 weeks today) and we are no closer on deciding on a name.

We don’t know the sex of the baby so suggestions for boys and girls would be welcomed. The name needs to work and be spelled/pronounced the same in both English and Flemish (Belgian Dutch) as we speak both at home.

I tend to prefer shorter names that are easy to pronounce and spell.

So far we are considering for boys:

Kit
Ralf
Otto
Miles or Milo
Emile
Jude
Teddy

And for girls:

Vada
Neve
Lena
Zadie

Girls names especially we are really stuck on so would love suggestions close to these - shortish international names that aren’t overly ‘frilly’ if that makes sense!

First baby so no sibling names to consider.

Thanks in advance!

Adam or Nina?

How about Emil without the E for a boy?

Girls - Nina, Anne (presumably you would pronounce the E - are you in the UK?), Erin, Maia, Nora, Lucy?

Great list ! What about Rafe? Prefer it to Ralf (and have one!) also have a Milo so that gets my vote. Like Kit and Otto is on my list for this new boy.

I like Vada, what about Vida?
