Hi
I've just found out I'm expecting a boy. I have some names in mind already but looking for any suggestions or opinions on the names I have. My DD is called Olivia so would like a name that went well with her name. I might use a middle name, I might not. If I do it'll be my father's name which is Andrew so if it goes well with that then cool.
Names I already thought of are:

Jasper (Name I was going to call DD if she were a boy)
Eli
Jayden
Ben

Also want to mention that he is mixed Persian/English which is why Jasper is on the cards, although Olivia isn't a Persian name so it doesn't matter too much but I may like suggestions of other Persian names if you know any Smile
Thanks x

Love Jasper so much and think it's perfect for you for all the reasons you've given above (Persian, had it in mind for years and so on)

Eli is also one of my favourite names by the way

Love olivia too

Jasper is fab!!

@FluffyEggsontoast Yes Jasper and Eli are my favourites. Eli has been a fave since I was young long before I expected kids lol and Jasper was since my pregnancy with DD 2 years ago. Their dad has black curly hair and I just visioned a dark curly haired boy running around called Jasper haha
It's weird though because now I'm expecting a boy I'm doubting it.
This was similar with Olivia though. Long before I fell pregnant with her I always loved the name Olivia but through the pregnancy I didn't consider that name until the very end lol

Jasper Andrew is a great name.

I know children who are mixed Persian-English called Darius and Cyrus. I like Jasper though.

Jasper or Ben. Jayden is nowhere near as classy as Olivia.

BlueRose18 · 22/09/2020 20:17

@emmathedilemma I agree with what you say about the name Jayden. It’s definitely the most unlikely option I’ll choose tbh lol
