Hello, our second baby isn't due for a while yet but obviously I'm already thinking about names! Smile

At the moment we're quite settled on Nina for a girl, but I'm open to suggestions. The only other girls name I really liked was Juliet, but DH said a firm no. 🙄
I love uncommon but not unusual girls names, and I think I'd like Elizabeth for the middle name.

Its boys names that are much harder, DH hasn't liked a single suggestion of mine (but hasn't come up with any of his own yet either!)
I love Jonah, Robin, Morgan and Alex. Also like Caleb but doesn't really go with our surname (along the lines of 'Bridge'). DH did say he didn't mind Alex, but I really want Adam as the middle name and it just doesn't flow.

Our 20 month old is called Violet for extra information. Smile

I do like Nina. Not sure on your boys' names though. I do like Adam but I think it's a good first name in it's own right rather than middle.

Ah I keep adding Heidi onto my list and then taking it off again. I like it and think it sounds pretty but I'm not sure I love it.

Funnily enough Issac Adam was thrown around a bit before we found out our first baby was a little girl, might think about it again actually.
I agree about Adam being a lovely first name - its my older brothers name! Hence why I'd like to use it as a middle name if we end up having a little boy. Smile

I've always quite liked Elliot, and I LOVE Vincent (huge Mighty Boosh/Noel Fielding fan here) - but can't really have Violet and Vincent, too samey!

Alexander Adam sounds great I think.

PastaSauceHoarder · 24/02/2019 10:18

I'm glad a few people have said they liked Alexander Adam... I didn't think the two went together (alliteration maybe, I don't know) but the more I say it the more I love it.
It would be Alexander on the birth certificate/legal documents but we'd probably just call him Alex.

So so far my front runners are Nina Elizabeth and Alexander Adam. Smile

I think you’ve nailed it.
Nina Elizabeth and Alexander Adam are lovely 😊

Lovely names. As long as your surname doesn’t start with an A, Alexander Adam is fine.
