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

Levi & Harper

angelaEhen · 10/12/2020 19:30

Matthew and zoe

2nd choice Austin and hannah
I don't like the other ones

amber763 · 10/12/2020 19:31

Daniel and Mary are lovely. Know too many dogs called Levi (4) Matthew, Zoe and Hannah are nice too

pilates · 10/12/2020 19:31

Matthew and Hannah

PinGwyn · 10/12/2020 19:34

Daniel and Harper from your original list.

I like Matthew, Zoe and Hannah from your update.

MagicSummer · 10/12/2020 19:35

Are you looking for a Jewish name, OP, because most of your choices seem to indicate this? Hate Harper and Levi. Daniel is OK but boring, Mary due a comeback (or Maria. Marie or Marianne).

PinGwyn · 10/12/2020 19:37

Overall I'd choose Matthew and Hannah.

Redtulip8 · 10/12/2020 19:37

Daniel and Harper

FPS123 · 10/12/2020 19:37

I only like Mary from your first list.
I like Mani spelt with an I short for Emmanuel, and Hannah, Zoe and Leah from your girls list.

whatwherewhywhenhow · 10/12/2020 19:40

Levi and Harper

harrietm1987 · 10/12/2020 19:40

Daniel, Matthew, Mary and Hannah.

Really dislike Levi, Harper, Cadence, Austin and Manny.

The others (Tristan, Zoe, Leah) are fine but I wouldn’t choose them.

Bluetrews25 · 10/12/2020 19:44

Matthew and Hannah

SilverOtter · 10/12/2020 19:48

Daniel and Mary

Sexnotgender · 10/12/2020 19:48

Daniel and Hannah from your combined lists.

Fuckitsstillraining · 10/12/2020 19:49

Daniel and Mary. Levi = Jeans. Harper = wag, attention seeking.

lottiegarbanzo · 10/12/2020 19:50

The odd one out is Harper, which a celeb-copy name (yes, I know, Harper Lee but everyone will think Beckham).

The other names are all lovely, classic names.

For me, both those boy names are great. Both Biblical, Levi sounds more Jewish to my ear (though obviously Daniel could just as well be and both could be Christian too). Levi has a 'cool' edge.

Mary is old-fashioned, classic, simple, possibly too simple. I'd be more likely to choose Marianne or something similar.

AlwaysLatte · 10/12/2020 19:51

Harper always reminds me of harpy, which isn't great, obviously... Mary isn't brilliant either but I like Mari (Marr-ee) Definitely Daniel or Dan over Levi which is always jeans to me!

hiredandsqueak · 10/12/2020 19:55

Daniel and Mary. I really don't like Levi and Harper.
