My first post, so here goes....
I have a little boy called Noah. Never asked on any forums or anything as I just fell in love with the name and it felt right.
I had two girls names at the time.
One of the girls names has now been used by someone very close to me. Please don't tell me to still use it anyway, because its her name now. She was pregnant before me, she didn't steal it, I knew she loved the name and it wouldn't feel right for me to use it now too.
The other name I loved for a wee girl is Harper. However, after I had my son and people asked oh what would he have been called if he was a girl, I said the other name and Harper. People didn't seem to react well to Harper.
So I'm really stuck. The only other name I kind of like is Hope. As she is my Hope after a really difficult time. But I've alway worried about virtue names.
Another name that I heard that appealed to me was Primrose. But I'm beginning to think its a bit old fashioned next to Noah.
I have a very uncommon name myself and I didn't like being the only one at school. So I prefer names within the top 100.
If you can help, I would be most grateful. X

I would stick to a classical name to go with Noah.

Not a fan of Harper (I don't like unisex names)
Hope would be okay for a middle name only.
Primrose is a no.

I love Noah and:

Charlotte
Emily
Annabel
Juliet
Olive
Felicity
Kate
Clare
Grace

I wouldn't pick something ending in an A sound either.

Don’t like Harper at all. Hope is nicer.
