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 and Mary, Harper is awful.

I only like Daniel, the rest are awful

Is there no room for movement? I know a lovely bloke called Danny and a very gorgeous hipster type called Mary so they would get my vote.

Daniel and Mary but I like Levi too, just prefer Daniel

BeesAnkles · 10/12/2020 16:44

I'm with you, OP, Levi and Harper!

I think you need to ask the audience of Netmums if you want your own way!

@Unanaganaive

DAMN. Then he was right. Well thank you , my husband's gonna be happy.

I love the name Levi , had since I was a child Blush

No no no. You need to find names you both like. Smile
Strokethefurrywall · 10/12/2020 16:52

Yep, Levi and Harper for me too OP.

But what you've got there are two sets of names. Daniel and Mary are classic and biblical.

Levi (whilst biblical) has probably seen a rise over the past 15 years.
Harper I love and was first choice for our baby if our first turned out to be a girl. Alas the Beckham's had their baby Harper 3 months before I was due and I wouldn't have used it based on the stupid "oh like the Beckham's?" comments. I mean I like the Beckhams but I didn't want the rise in popularity of the name!

But I love them both.
