Hi everyone,

Need a little help, first child due in just over 2 weeks, we're not sure what we're having as we chose not to find out.

We've agreed on a boys name Myles, and as this was so easy, I'm pretty sure it's a boy, I know that isn't logical, and there is still a 50% chance it could be a girl.

We're really struggling to find names we both really like. We have a few that we've both said, that's nice to, but they don't grab us, they are:
Terri, Toni, Billie, Indigo and Ruby
Surname begins with an A.

We really know what we don't like or want, I thought it would be helpful to include 'categories' of no.

I really don't like floral names.
My OH doesn't like religious? names like Grace, Faith, Hope etc.
I'm a huge bookworm, my all time favourite stories are, Matilda, Beauty and the Beast, Harry Potter and Alice in Wonderland. I don't want any names from these as it would be too predictable imo.
I'm not a fan of precious stone names.
He doesn't like colour names.
(although Ruby and Indigo fall into both the latter categories)

Can I ask if anyone has any suggestions please?

TIA

Miles is nice but I’m really not liking Terri & Toni etc they sound like they should be 80s Eastenders characters

Ruby is lovely

Terri is awful, awful.

Not really keen on Toni but I like Antonia, really like Billie and I love Indigo.

Indigo is a boy's name IMO. Ruby is my favourite of your names.

Basically, you're just looking for names that are names, rather than words with other meanings.

If you like Terri and Toni you might like Tessa/Tess

Fatkins · 03/07/2019 15:10

You could maybe go with a lesser known character from one of your favourite books?

I really like Indigo and Ruby from your list and Myles is nice too.
