DH asked me to post this thread lol , because we cannot decide and he is so sure his favs are just of better taste. We don't know the sex yet. He likes the names I like , and I like his. But "my" names just seem more beautiful. PLEASE DECIDE FOR US :

Levi or Daniel
Harper or Mary

Thank youuuu

Daniel or Mary.

I’m an EYFS teacher and there are 4 Harpers in my class. 3 girls, one boy-I’ve never had that many of the same name in a class since my first class of 4 Charlottes back in the 90s!

Levi is ok, but I’m not keen.

Daniel and Mary

minipie · 10/12/2020 23:09

Tristan - like
Matthew - ok
Austin - really like
Manny - no no no

Zoe - love
Hannah - ok
Leah - dislike
Cadence - ok

Nina - lov

Levi- evil - anagram. Sorry , not spelt backwards

lottiegarbanzo · 10/12/2020 23:30

Nina is fantastic!

Where did your DH get that idea about Cadence? It's not a name at all. It's like calling a child 'Rhyme' or 'Key signature'. Has he confused it with Candace? (Not posh). Cressida and Cecily are 'posh, intelligent' names.

user686833 · 10/12/2020 23:37

Levi and Harper definitely

merlotormalbec · 11/12/2020 07:25

Ahh sorry I don't like either of the boys. I really dislike Daniel tho so would go for Levi. Harper is so lovely

Tsubasa1 · 11/12/2020 07:28

I like all the names except for Harper.

Fauvist · 11/12/2020 08:29

Nina is a great name!

Swingometer · 11/12/2020 08:39

Zoe, Hannah, Nina are all great names and definitely preferable (IMO) to Harper or Mary

I'm less keen on your boys names but Matthew and Austin are ok (nicer than Daniel or Levi)

Redwinestillfine · 11/12/2020 10:26

Ooh Nina is lovely!

Keyperfect · 11/12/2020 10:32

Harper makes me think of someone "harping on" / a harpie, and it's just not a nice sound to me - sorry!

Levi does make me think "evil", silly and irrational of me, I know.

Daniel and Mary on the other hand are both lovely classical names.

Blondiney · 11/12/2020 10:33

The only Nina I know is my cousin. She's 25 with a first from Cambridge and cheekbones you could grate cheese on. Smile

HeyMoana · 11/12/2020 10:55

Daniel and Mary. I love both. If I'd had a son, he was to be Daniel and I went with Audrey in the end but wished I'd gone for Mary because she has two other Audreys at school! Xx

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 11/12/2020 11:25

Daniel. Levi is awful.
I can't decide between Harper and Mary. I like the vibe of Mary but don't really like the sound, whereas. I like the sound of Harper but not the vibe.
Forced to choose I think I'd say Mary. Its quite different and refreshing now and I think Harper is having a bit of a moment.

Copernico · 11/12/2020 11:54

I’m surprised by all the Levi hate! It’s a biblical name, hardly that out there. Then again I’m not British and don’t get the “chavvy” association. You lot are very harsh with anyone who steps out of very proscribed lines, huh.

I like Levi, in case that wasn’t obvious Smile

frogswimming · 11/12/2020 12:00

I like Matthew and all of your new girls names suggestions.

SkiingIsHeaven · 11/12/2020 12:10

Levi - Think of Levi Bellfield - Definitely a no no.

Harper Beckham - Again no sorry.

Daniel and Mary are very nice though.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 11/12/2020 12:16

Of all the names on your list I like Daniel & Leah best.

lottiegarbanzo · 11/12/2020 12:32

Levi Roots comes to mind first for me; a much nicer association! Levi just sounds OT Biblical to me, like Caleb or Benjamin.

Twistiesandshout · 11/12/2020 12:42

harper and levi - love them

MercyBodle · 11/12/2020 12:54

Daniel and Mary.

NameChange84 · 11/12/2020 13:51

I like these;

Tristan
Matthew

Hannah
Leah
Cadence

Please not Manny!

I love Hannah and Cadence

TicTacTwo · 11/12/2020 13:51

Nina is a fabulous name

notangelinajolie · 11/12/2020 13:54
