Having not long found out I am pregnant with my second child obviously my mind is already on names. I like traditional names that you may not hear every day but am open to suggestions.
For a girl my faves so far are Josephine and Lydia
Absolutely stumped on boys name apart from maybe jack.

Thank you. I so love the name Eleanor and want to have the same that's it that's the name feeling with this name. All the boys names I like have been taken by existing family members🙄😂

Ahhh Matthew. I do love that. Thomas is absolute fave but we have quite a few in our family due to my grandad and uncle passing and being called Thomas. Also like William and George ☺️

Joseph

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 13/01/2021 12:30

Eleanor is very traditional feeling so I'm not sure nn Jack works well imo (classic John would be better). But both Josephine and Lydia work very well (difficult to choose between the two!).

Other suggestions (sorry for repeats):
Alice
Charlotte
Matilda
Caroline
Juliet/Julia
Victoria
Isabel
Anna

James
Alexander
Charles
William
Henry
Edward
Louis
Frederick

Darlinbelle · 13/01/2021 13:33

I agree about Jack i just like it 🤷
I do really like James too. Charles is a great name but we have a nephew called Charlie.
And another called Joseph.

I know an Eleanor and her younger brother is called Jonathan (Johnny for short.) I could see Jack working really well with Eleanor too.

Josephine and Lydia are both stunning for girls names, either of them would work well.

Other boy suggestions:
Samuel
Calvin
Fraser
Julian
Jude
Wesley
Dominic
Nathaniel
Nathan
Spencer
Cormac
Victor
