What are you favourite boy and girl names?

[Springsprung8]

Not due for a little while BUT, we’re keeping the gender a surprise so having to sort 2 shortlists for each eventuality. So I’m only here to admire your favourite names 😆

Our current shortlists as follows:

Girl - Stevie, Delilah, Joy

Boy - Stanley, Frank, Bernie

Thoughts on those? 😬

I'd go Stevie for a girl and Steven for a boy.

I quite like Stanley for a boy.

Stanley and Delilah

(I am old enough to remember Weekend at Bernies and Bernie Inns / Bernie Winters and time me it's short for Bernadette!!)

Stanley and Delilah

Delilah and Stanley also!

Ooooo. Enjoying your inputs. Why is choosing a name for another human that they will have for the rest of their life, so hard? 😂

The boy name is definitely between Stanley and Bernie. Girls.. unsure 🤔

Stevie for a girl.
Stanley for a boy.
Joy, depends very much on your surname. It goes well with something like "Richardson" but is so short it could easily jar with something equally short, like "Kerr".

I would only use Stevie as a nickname for Stephanie to be honest.

I quite like both Delilah and Joy.

Stanley from your boys names. I like Frank and Bernie but again they seem like nicknames to me.

Joy and Frank for me!

Stanley was on our boys list a long with
Archer
Toby
Dexter
Axel

I still like Stanley but we went with something else

Out of your girls names I love Delilah
My personal favs are
Violet
Belle
Ivy
Robyn

Good luck and congratulations

Joy or Frank

Stevie for a girl (ever since Knight Rider, I'm old).

Not a big fan of either Stanley or Bernie but Stanley over Bernie for sure.

Really dislike Bernie - it's so dated, but not in a cool retro/vintage way imo. Stanley and Frank aren't exactly my taste but seem perfectly useable - of the two I prefer Stanley.

Of the girls choices - Delilah is trendy but has the nicest sound to me. I'm that keen on Joy personally (plus if she's not a happy/smiley person, I'd worry she'd get stupid jokes). Stevie is cool, but very nicknamey.

@Springsprung8 Stanley is my favourite name! We are expecting a girl but had decided on Stanley if it was a boy! X

Toby and Stevie

Me brain is frazzled 🥲 Bernie and Stanley, I just don’t know anyone with that name. Baby or adult. Maybe for a reason but I think it’s not a massively “out there” name but also not too common.

Stevie would be after my Nan who we sadly lost suddenly (and totally unexpectedly) just hours after we found out we were expecting.

So I’m stumped. When I think I like one, I change my mind 😂

Stanley and Delilah

I actually really like Bernard AND Bernie as a nn. Just goes to show taste is such a personal thing, doesn't it. I'm generally quite traditional with names anyway, but I think the important thing is that you love it for an adult as well as a child.

And Stephanie us my gest friend's name so I'm obviously hugely biased, but I think Stephanie, nn Stevie is just so cool 😎

Bernie is awful. What about Barney? Way cooler.
Frank is getting quite popular, Joy is ok but she could grow up to be really moody!
Delilah is too frilly, so....

Stevie for a girl
Stanley for a boy

I really dislike Stevie for a girl, I don't like any names that can lead to confusion that a child has to explain. Perhaps you could use it as a middle name. Joy and Delilah are beautiful names. I like all of your boy names

I have a Stanley and have never regretted it. I love the name

My favourite names are
Tobias
Xander
Seth

Margot
Estelle
Celia

Love all your names
