LOVE:
Caleb, Flynn, Jasper, Orion, and Lucian! Killian is cool too! Don’t like Erik or Dante though.

Girls names all seem a bit meh compared to such a fab boys list, although I do like Nina! Kali is cool (if you’re naming her after the Goddess who I think is cool) but I think the sound is a bit boring as it just sounds like her name is Carly.

Tristan and Nina are my favourites

MissHenty · 02/10/2019 12:38

Really like your boys list. Love Caleb Jasper Tristan and Henry

Not sure about the girls one

Athena13 · 02/10/2019 13:00

Thank you. I'm really struggling for a girls name this time around so any suggestions would be appreciated. My favourite is Nina at the moment but dh isn't sure.

MissHenty · 02/10/2019 14:23

Yes Jasmine is nice

MissHenty · 02/10/2019 14:24

Infact sorry I’ve actually just read your girls lists and I really like all those names except for Karli.
Lily Jasmine and Nina are lovely

Athena13 · 02/10/2019 14:42

I currently have 2 dds called Evie and Anna. We're struggling at the moment as we can't seem to agree on anything, and we have a huge family so that rules a lot of names out.

I do like Emmy, but not sure it would go well with the other two.

Like Caleb, Henry and Lily. When I was young. Kali was slang for sherbert dabs.

Gummibaerchen1 · 02/10/2019 17:27

I like Orion!

Don't like any of the girls names.

Ellmau · 02/10/2019 23:25

Love Jasper.

What about Lucy/Lucia/Luciana for a girl?

Athena13 · 03/10/2019 14:01

Lucy is my niece's name so can't use that unfortunately. Dh has suggested Bella, but I just don't like it. There just doesn't seem to be any girls names that we both like this time.

Fortunately we both like the same boys names so now we just have to narrow down the list. I'm hoping to have two boys names and two girls names ready and then pick when baby gets here. Only three months left so really need to work on girls list.

My favourites are Dante, Henry, Rory and Nina :)

Astronica · 04/10/2019 05:11

I love: Jasper, Henry, Rory. Like Flynn.

I like Lily.

SleepWarrior · 04/10/2019 05:22

Really like Nina.

What about Claudia, Dinah, Miriam, Clara or Tess.

Henry, Rory and Tristan are lovely from your boys list.

daisypond · 04/10/2019 06:39

I really like Nina but the others are nice too. Kate? Rose? Rosie?
I like most of your boys’ names but not Orion or Flynn. I’d spell Killian as Cillian.

MrsBertBibby · 04/10/2019 07:05

Nina, by a country mile. Lovely name.

Please not Dante, Orion or Killian. The rest wouldn't be on my list but are good names. Lucian is perhaps the best, but very close to Lucy? I am warming to Rory.

Conrad? Tamsin?

Athena13 · 04/10/2019 07:43

I have bought dh a baby name book, and told him to make a list of girls names he likes. Then I will see if I like any of his list.

I will start trying to narrow the boy list down, which will be hard since I love them all. I don't remember it being this difficult naming my daughters lol.

I am worried about Dante and Orion being shortened to Dan and Ryan, as I strongly dislike both those nicknames, so I may have to rule them out.

I love Tristan and Jasmine.

SoftBlocks · 04/10/2019 09:54

Caleb, Lucian
Jasmine, Nina

Whattodoabout · 04/10/2019 10:29

I only really like Jasper and Rory. Not keen on any of the girl names.
