Are your children’s vaccines up to date?
BlueMerchant · 21/05/2019 13:49

Ivan is the only boy's name I like from your boys list.
Stella is nice. Sorry not keen on the girls list either.
I'd also assume Darcy and Eden were girls.

Purplelavenders · 21/05/2019 14:04

Boy: Magnus or Quinn

Girl: Stella or Julia

MustardScreams · 21/05/2019 14:06

None from the boys - sorry!

Like Pippa and Julia

lostlobster · 21/05/2019 14:08

I love love love Moses for a boy!

I also love Julia

Floralnomad · 21/05/2019 14:11

I really don’t like either of your lists especially the more commonly known as girls names in your boy list and vice versa , you will be setting your child up for a lifetime of people expecting them to be a boy when they are a girl and vice versa , it’s actually not cool but quite mean .

Julia is alright, the rest would be a big no from me.

daisypond · 21/05/2019 14:45

Ivan, Magnus, Augustus, Eric.
Frances, Gloria, Julia, Juniper, Stella, Pippa if short for Philippa.

SherlockSays · 21/05/2019 14:46

I love Blair, wasn't allowed it by DH.

Ohwhatbliss · 21/05/2019 14:47

Haven't read the thread but a quick comment, here in Aus it's Lachy short for Lachlan. I've never heard of Lockie?

tisonlymeagain · 21/05/2019 14:47

From your list....

Boys:
Eric
Jesse

Girls:
Pippa
Stella

I only know girls named Eden and boys named Eliott.

Jamct23 · 21/05/2019 14:47

Love Blair & Jesse

Widowodiw · 21/05/2019 14:48

I like Gloria. I wanted it for my daughter but she ended up a lively Victoria instead. Quinn, people will think it’s a boy name I’m afraid. How about Quentin or Quintin for a boy if you like Quinn.

BelulahBlanca · 21/05/2019 14:51

How do you pronounce Lumi? LUM-ee? Or LOU-me?

Quintella · 21/05/2019 14:54

Julia and Jesse

Girls:
Perrie
Quinn

Fulltimemummy85 · 21/05/2019 16:01

Isn't Grey a boys name? I have known 2 both boys. One really suits it and makes me like the name
