So many, am attempting to narrow down a bit. Am aware that some aren't hugely traditional and I'm totally ok with that.

To go with DS Rudy Gray Surname.

Any thoughts?

Pearl, Clara, Opal, Sabrina, are lovely and I like Winter as a middle name.

If your DH is Portuguese, it makes sense to use a name that is easy to say in both languages.

I'm the first to put my hands up to being a massive goth but I reckon even I can't get away with Lilith Moon. I'm taking Lilith Moon off the table.

Why?????? That's an AMAZING name.
bobloblawlawblog · 20/08/2020 22:47

I think am probably pushing it to peak goth with Velvet too.

bobloblawlawblog · 20/08/2020 22:48

I know it is! And part of me is like oooooo Lilith Moon. And then what if she's just really cheerful and likes colourful things?

bobloblawlawblog · 20/08/2020 22:49

Sod it, am keeping it on the list.

Then it'll be ironic and cool still. I had Lilith on my list bit had all boys. Wanted Lucien for a boy bit the woman at school beat me to it. Her daughter is in with my son, the boys would be a yr apart. Felt too close. So had to thick all to be ones

Yay.

What boy names did you go for if you don't mind me asking @SleepingStandingUp

OP posts:
Ikeameatballs · 20/08/2020 22:59

What about Rocco for a boy?

Rocco Valentine sounds great imo.

bobloblawlawblog · 20/08/2020 22:59

I love Rocco. DH is a flat no.

My thoughts are how did you manage to create such big lists full of awful names?

bobloblawlawblog · 20/08/2020 23:04

And THERE's the kind of comment I thought I might get! Thank you everyone else for being nice

😍 I have a Xavier too
Bumbl · 20/08/2020 23:17

Gabriel for a boy? I like most of your names for what it's worth!

MrsR87 · 20/08/2020 23:17

To go with Rudy, I like Valentine for a girl and Lucien for a boy 👍🏻

bobloblawlawblog · 20/08/2020 23:23

@Bumbl yes to Gabriel I like that

OP posts:
GinWithASplashOfTonic · 20/08/2020 23:30

Of the names on the list these are the ones I personally like.

Sorry not keen on any of the middle names

Girls

Coco🖤
Frida🖤
Sabrina🖤
Celeste🖤
Camille🖤

Boys

Apollo🖤

WorriedMummy2020 · 20/08/2020 23:37

Of the girls ones I like:
Serena (but what about Selina too?)
Clara (I REALLY like this)
Ingrid

I only like Valentine of the middle name options.

For the boys I'm afraid I only like Rafferty and that's only lukewarm. What about Ziggy rather than Iggy?

Gabriel is lovely

bobloblawlawblog · 21/08/2020 00:04

Pronunciation wise, how would people pronounce Gabriel and Lucien just out of curiosity?
