I have always been one to discuss and choose baby names and have a had a possible baby names list on my phone for as long as I can remember. Now that I need to pick one for real all names are ‘meh’. DP has a common surname (Clark). Please help inspire me! Boy and girl names please as we will not be finding out sex. Smile

@Chanchi89 oh I love your names especially:

Boy: Sebastian, Luca and Zachary
Girl: Penelope and Aubree

Clark is a great surname as it goes with so much!

Thank you for suggestions. I really like Ewan, Jeffrey and Jocelyn. None of them are ‘the one’ though.

Do you ever know when it’s the one? Or do I have too high of an expectation for a feeling of when I see the name will know?

Annabel Clark, Arthur Clark
Bethany Clark, Benjamin Clark
Caroline Clark, Charles/Charlie Clark
Daisy Clark, Daniel Clark
Emily Clark, Elliott Clark*
Felicity Clark, Finley Clark
Georgina Clark, Gideon Clark
Heidi Clark, Hayden Clark
...
Basically a ton of names will work so we need a bit more to go on - What sort of names were on your list?

  • One thing I would try to avoid is a first name that could be a surname (eg Harrison Clark) - Clark is becoming more popular as a first name & it will get switched around at the worst time if you aren’t careful. I would stick with quite conventional names if it were me ...
