Baby number 2 is due any day, girls names are sorted but boys... not a clue!
I like nature names. But nothing too out there...
First born is Luna Jai.
Middle name if babe is a boy will be Philip or Frederick (after a grandparent)
Please help! Any and all suggestions welcome Smile

Yes how about River? @Missbecs

Rowan I like but it’s dramatically risen in popularity at same time as name RoMan (come from nowhere to be top 50 now). In a couple of years on current trajectory will be top 10 and is likely to date. Get fed up with the “is your name RoMan with an M or a W”?! A couple of years ago this wouldn’t have been a problem

How about (red Forrest)

MissHenty · 28/09/2019 11:20
  • Radley (red forest)

Or “Forrest” ?

Inigo is a great name but it doesn't have any nature meaning.

If Frederick becomes a middle name you need a shorter first name.

Its spanner is I'm a teacher so lots of name associations annoyingly.

So I really like:
Ash - maybe Asher as a name and Ash for short? (Don't want Ashley).
Oakley (but Oakley is the village I grew up in, my parents still live.. is that too weird?)

I like River but SIL suggested it a few weeks ago so it can be shortened to 'Riv' which has put me off...

My dog is Jasper Grin
