Getting a bit ahead of myself here as I've not even had my 12 week scan but here goes:

Boys names:

Louis
Ethan
Cole
Jason
Owen

Girls names:

Alba
Anya
Scarlett
Fern
Pippa
Nina

Not many of my friends or family have young kids so I've also NO idea if any are trendy at the moment, not sure if that would put me off anyway!

All lovely names. My favourites are Ethan, Jason, Anya & Scarlett but I don’t think you can go too wrong picking any of them.

Pemba · 06/01/2021 16:57

Louis (pronouced loo-ee, not the same as Lewis) and Nina are gorgeous.
Second choice would be Owen, and probably Anya.

YoniAndGuy · 06/01/2021 17:23

Louis - great
Ethan - ok
Cole - dislike
Jason - like, but generally seen as really naff
Owen - so dull, outdated.

Girls names:

Alba - dislike, sounds made up
Anya - lovely
Scarlett - dislike, v harsh, bit naff
Fern - lovely
Pippa - really dislike this, so prissy
Nina - lovely

MrsWhistledown · 06/01/2021 17:26

Out of your boys names I only really like Cole, and Louis is ok.

From your girls names I love Alba, Anya, Scarlett, and Pippa. Fern is nice. I really dislike Nina.

Bouledeneige · 06/01/2021 20:13

Sorry I only like Alba and Scarlett. None of the boys names.

Chambored · 06/01/2021 20:26

The ones I like are:

Louis
Ethan

Alba
Anya
Scarlett

Nell96 · 06/01/2021 20:31

Louis - Like
Ethan - Ok, though I prefer similar names - Ewan / Iwan and Ioan
Cole - not sure about this one, like it for a man but can't see it on a little boy
Jason - bit 80s?
Owen - like, but prefer Ioan or Ewan / Iwan

Girls names:

Alba - ok
Anya - pretty
Scarlett - ok, but not keen
Fern - love
Pippa - nope
Nina - like, underused

dottiedaisee · 06/01/2021 20:33

Louis and Anya

17caterpillars1mouse · 06/01/2021 20:43

I really like Cole (also like it as a nn fir Nicolas) but don't like any other of you ur others sorry. I'm bored to death of Louis, they seem to be everywhere atm

Alba - pretty, I like it. Its quirky and a bit different, but not out there

Anya - it's nice enough, I just prefer Anna

Scarlett - nice though I like a few

Fern - not a fan

Pippa - like it as a nn for Phillipa, though prefer nn Pip

Nina - it's OK, though I've never met a nice adult Nina which puts me off

yuyubooboo · 06/01/2021 22:32

Love Louis, Anya and Nina

maddsclairelouise · 07/01/2021 04:14

What a lovely list of names you have!

I have family members named both Louis and Owen, so, naturally, I think those two names lush! I also think they're very wearable throughout life!

Nina is one of my all time favourite names and I especially adore the nickname Neens but unfortunately I cannot use it as I have an aunty Janine whom we all call Neens, so, of course, I am going to tell you to go with Nina!

Scarlett is on my baby name list too hehe Smile

Congratulations! Flowers

partyatthepalace · 08/01/2021 01:25

Like Pippa as a nn for Philippa.

Not keen on the rest

IdblowJonSnow · 08/01/2021 02:13

Not keen on any of the boy names.
Alba is nice, think it means white in spanish or Latin?
Also like Nina.

coldcoffeefy · 08/01/2021 02:16

Louis- like
Ethan- love
Cole-like
Jason- not a fan but isn’t offensive
Owen- love

Alba-Okay
Anya- lovely
Scarlett- like
Fern-like
Pippa- like
Nina- love

Pineapple30 · 08/01/2021 14:05

Recently named my little girl Nina so this is my favourite! It's not too popular but also not too unusual, I love it!

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 08/01/2021 23:01

I have an Owen, so I'm biased Grin

I really like Anya but absolutely cannot stand Alba. Which I appreciate is a bit odd.
