Hey,

Expecting first baby in a few months and we do not know the sex.

DP and I can only agree on girls names and have our top 3 sorted.

As for boys names we have a few that we like but don't love.

Please say your favourite girls and boys names from our list (feel free to suggest boys names)

Willow
Poppy
Isla

Theo
Jacob
Hugo
Loui
Hudson
Harvey
Austin
Beau (surname begins with a B though)

Poppy for the girl's name.
Hugo or Theo for the boy.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/01/2019 12:46

Poppy (Rate)
Willow (Rate)
Isla ( slate)

Theo (Rate)
Jacob (Slate)
Loui (Rate) but I'd spell it properly. Assuming its supposed to be Louis
Hugo (Slate)
Hudson (Slate)
Harvey (Slate)
Austin (Slate)
Beau (Rate).

Isla and Jacob are the only ones I like from your lists

Desmondo2016 · 30/01/2019 12:48

I thought you were asking for opinions on the names of Rate and Slate. Phew!

thatsmyspace · 30/01/2019 12:49

What about..

Caleb
Evan
Joseph
Leighton

Aquilla · 30/01/2019 12:50

Willow and Jacob for me!
Isla is very popular now. Louis is nice.

MikeUniformMike · 30/01/2019 12:54

Willow - ok but a bit of a name I'd give a pet
Poppy - I like it
Isla - too popular

Theo - too popular. Lots and lots of Theos and Theodores and I don't like Theodore
Jacob - nice
Hugo - nice
Loui - Louis is nice, Loui isn't
Hudson - not keen. It's a river.
Harvey - I like it
Austin - not sure
Beau (surname begins with a B though) - awful

Peachbubble · 30/01/2019 12:54

Girls in order - Poppy, Willow, Isla

Me too!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/01/2019 12:57

Logan is a good suggestion.
You seem to like surname names.
Mason
Tyler
Kingsley
Carter
Todd

CloserIAm2Fine · 30/01/2019 13:52

I like Willow and Poppy, not a big fan of Isla but I don’t dislike it either

I really like Jacob. Hugo, Austin and Harvey are ok.

I don’t like Louis even when it’s spelled properly, but really not when it’s spelled Loui

I really don’t like Theo, especially if you like somewhere it’ll be pronounced Fe-oh

Hudson and Beau sound very American and I don’t like them

Shadow1234 · 30/01/2019 14:36

Willow and Hudson.

Lincoln
Lewis
Harris

tammytoby · 30/01/2019 14:46

Willow and Louie

Imperfectsusan · 30/01/2019 16:08

Isla and Jacob.

schopenhauer · 30/01/2019 16:13

Poppy and Hugo or Louis if spelt like that. Can’t bear surnames myself, I’m sure in 10-15 years they will be very dated.

abcriskringle · 30/01/2019 16:14

Willow is lovely. Really like Jacob too.

Parthenope · 30/01/2019 16:15

Theo and Jacob much the best from your boys' list. I don't care much for any of your girls'. but Isla at a push.

And Hudson and Beau are godawful.

RatherBeRiding · 30/01/2019 16:18

I like all of your girl names but in order:
Willow
Poppy
Isla (becoming very popular)

Love Jacob and Austen. Not keen on Harvey or Hudson (surnames?). The others are all fine apart from Beau which I don't think would go very well with a surname beginning with B. Beau Brummell and all that.

starkid · 30/01/2019 16:48

Willow
Isla

Jacob
Harvey

silverliningsa · 30/01/2019 17:16

Willow - ok
Poppy - ok
Isla - like

Theo - like but lots around
Jacob - like
Hugo - like
Loui - like if spelt Louis
Hudson - no
Harvey - no
Austin - ok
Beau (surname begins with a B though) - ok

RuthW · 30/01/2019 17:19

Willow - love it
Poppy - ok
Isla- ok but do you want to be one of about 5 in a class?

DramaAlpaca · 30/01/2019 19:54

I only like Isla from your girls' list. I detest Poppy as it's twee & silly sounding.

Austin is my favourite from your boys' list. Beau my least favourite.

MollyHuaCha · 30/01/2019 19:57

Willow - ok
Poppy - no, not good for a grown woman
Isla - nice

Theo - nice
Jacob - nice
Hugo - like
Loui - Louis pronounced Lou-ee is nice
Hudson - awful
Harvey - awful
Austin - awful
Beau - the worst one on here

IAmWonderWoman · 30/01/2019 20:02

Isla and Theo.

Really don’t like Poppy, it’s twee and irritating.
