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

Daniel.i don't hate Mary but it's not what I would choose.
Levi are a brand of jeans so no.
Harper is common, there's a million and one of them about atm.

Out of those names, Daniel and Mary.

Levi and Mary
(I do really, really like Daniel though).

Levi and something completely different for a girl, I don't like Harper or Mary.

Boiledegger · 10/12/2020 16:58

Levi is great but so is Daniel. I much prefer Mary to Harper.

Barmyfarmy · 10/12/2020 16:59

Harper and Daniel. Mary sounds dated and Levi is far too common now like 'Kobe' and 'Luna'

drumst1ck · 10/12/2020 17:00

Really don't like Harper or Mary! Both boy names are nice.

Namechange8471 · 10/12/2020 17:00

Daniel and Mary

Levi and Harper are quite 'chavvy' and will easily date

notalwaysalondoner · 10/12/2020 17:02

Daniel and Mary. Levi is ok but Harper will date terribly. I’m not a massive fan of Mary but Harper is much worse.

sanityisamyth · 10/12/2020 17:02

None of them except Mary

frogswimming · 10/12/2020 17:03

I prefer Daniel and Mary

CherrytreeView · 10/12/2020 17:03

Levi and Harper

CherrytreeView · 10/12/2020 17:04

Can't believe how many people like Mary!

glas14368 · 10/12/2020 17:04

Daniel and Mary

FelicityPike · 10/12/2020 17:05

Daniel & Mary

MerchantOfVenom · 10/12/2020 17:05

Harper? Seriously?

It’s fine as a name, but unless you want the trashy Beckham connection all your life, surely you could fine another name out of the millions available...

DragonMamma · 10/12/2020 17:06

Oh god! I love Levi and Chloe when I was a youngster. Thank god I didn’t have kids too young.

Levi is dreadful! Daniel and Mary from your list. Mainly because I don’t like Harper.

What about Daniel and Alice/Lucy/Charlotte? Some classic names

Daniel and Mary

PlantPotting · 10/12/2020 17:07

Daniel by a mile

Harper by a mile

FourPlatinumRings · 10/12/2020 17:07

Yeah, I agree with your DH. Daniel and Mary, hands down. Levi makes me think of jeans and to harp is to nag or complain excessively. E.g., 'stop harping on about it'. So for me, a Harper is a moaner.

M0rT · 10/12/2020 17:07

I love both Levi and Mary.
The other two are fine just not as nice to me.

Nousernameforme · 10/12/2020 17:07

I don't think Mary is quite ready for a comeback give it another 10 years or so.
Tbh I'm not keen on any of the names sorry
