Lewis.

Baby is due soon, don’t know the sex.

Don’t mind alliteration, popularity, long, short, just want a nice name that doesn’t sound made up and is an actual name rather than a surname or object.

Short list so far is Nancy, Erin, Albert and Max. That’s it. Mind has gone blank 😀

Sister has used Balonz so that’s a no go.

How funny! Do you like your name? I like Laura, and Lauren, went to school with a few of each, all pleasant girls but worry it’s a bit 80s.

Not keen on valentine, I know it’s a real name but comes under the ‘object’ umbrella for me.

I love all your OP names. How about Callum or Conner?

I don't get the Balonz reference? Please enlighten me?!

Haha as much as I love it (shortened to Bobby) it’s my nephews name so it’s out.

Loving the Ashens inspired username - I love him!

OP, I'm in the US and always felt my name was old fashioned in the 80s. I like it now though.

It's a shame you don't like the Francesca nicknames - I think Francesca Lewis/Chessie Lewis is great!

@JBMama , why have you posted a question on a 5 year old thread? Start a new thread on what names go with the surname Brown.
