Baby is due in six weeks and we are seriously struggling for names!

There are a few on the list but nothing that is sticking. Sebastian or Otto for boys, Indi or Marlee for a girl.

Any ideas? It feels like every single name has been (over) used!

I like Otto from your choice of boys, and I really like Marlie for a girl but spelt this way.

Otherwise I also really like Marnie for a girl.

IggyAce · 23/05/2020 05:15

I like Sebastian from your boys list and Marlie again like pp spelt this way for a girl.
I suggest:
Nathaniel (Nate)
Christopher (Kit)
Ivo
Otis

Adelaide
Lacey
Aubrey
Juno

Sebastian is nice but I don't like Otto. Indi and Marlee would work as nicknames for something longer.

Freddie
Tristan
Ronan

Imogen
Marissa
Connie

Love both your boys names! Sebastian Otto or Otto Sebastian are both lovely!

Indie is ok. It's on my dog/pet list though. Marlee is dreadful. Marlie is marginally better. Marnie is much nicer.

Sebastian is wonderful.
Marlee is really, really awful.

I’ve got a pal with a little girl named Marley. Every time I say her name, I secretly want to bellow “Jacob MAAAAARLEEEEEY!” in a ghostly voice.

Love Otto for a boy.

Thanks for all the feedback- it’s so helpful. Sounds like Sebastian and Otto are positive for boys although any more suggestions still welcome.

Girls names proving a bit harder - please keep them coming

Sebastian is very common at my little boys school, they we’ll get referred to as ‘Sebby’ or ‘Seb’. I actually quite like Otto!
I don’t particularly like your girl choices, how about Marnie?

sweetnosugar · 23/05/2020 11:03

all not we’ll .. autocorrect 🙄

I like Sebastian and Otto but not so keen on the girls names I think they will date quickly.

All the 'Marleys' I know are boys.

Honeyroar · 23/05/2020 12:31

Not sure about Otto, I’m horsey and there was a famous show jumper called Its Otto! Like Sebastian though.

Marlee just reminds me of Marley the dog! I used to know a Marlene that got called Marle a lot.
