so i recently found out i'm having a baby and i've been looking for some names.
i've had a baby's name list before i was even pregnant lmao, now looking back at the names that i wrote down, everything seems so real and i don't want to regret choosing a name for my babba.
i like old fashioned and unusual names.
girls:

darlene
ophelia
robyn
angeline
belle

boys:
noah
elijah
malakai/malachi
rico
nathaniel

if you have any ideas it would mean a lot, thanks:)

Darlene: Just reminds me of the daughter in Rosanne. Not a fan.
Ophelia: I don't hate it but it has tragic associations which put me off
Robyn: Prefer Robin, but I do like it
Angeline: I really don't like thist
Belle: Think this is fine as a nickname, but I would give her a longer name e.g. Isabel, Annabel, Arabella.

Noah: I do like this though I think it's quite popular at the moment.
Elijah: Great choice
Malakai/malachi: It's okay but easily mis-spelled and mis-pronounced
Rico: Are you Spanish or Italian?
Nathaniel: Quite like this. Nat for short.
