We have a baby due in March next year and have started talking about baby names. We're not sure if it's going to be a girl or boy yet but would like some opinions on name ideas so far! We've already got a daughter called Maggie.

Cora
Cleo
Rosa
Della
Sadie
OH likes Lily, but I think it's a bit wet.

Felix
Jude
Eddie
Heath
Chester
Roscoe

Della is lovely

Colinthecaterpillar35 · 14/10/2021 15:02

I love Cora for a girl 😍

EdgeOfACoin · 14/10/2021 15:16

Rosa or Cora for a girl.

I like Chester for a boy.

lobsteroll · 14/10/2021 15:26

Cora or Chester

Rose is lovely as well.

Blubells · 14/10/2021 15:39

I also like Cora best.

And Chester for a boy!

I have a Cora and Maggie would be on my list for a second 🙂

I also like Rosa and Jude.

BeKindBeYou · 14/10/2021 15:42

I love Rosa & Chester!

Cora is lovely. The girls' names are generally okay—Sadie is great for a certain personality, as is Rosa.

I'm afraid the only boy's name I like in that list is Jude. I particularly don't like Chester, which is awkward.

agirlnamedjen · 14/10/2021 15:54

Cora, Rosa and Della are my favourites from your girls list, I think they'd all work well with Maggie too.

Jude and Chester are my favourites from your boys list.

Cora - apple corer
Cleo - ok
Rosa - like
Della - like
Sadie - not keen
OH likes Lily, but I think it's a bit wet. - overused

Felix - ok
Jude - dislike
Eddie - like if short for Edward/Edwin/Edgar/Edmund
Heath - with Maggie? A bit too Tory
Chester - awful
Roscoe

KirstenBlest · 14/10/2021 17:00

Roscoe - Ross is really nice, Roscoe not so much.

Amisilli · 14/10/2021 17:07

Cora is lovely. Cleo is a name of a cat.
Don't like Chester at all, name of an horrible snobby small city in my opinion.

DuvetDayIsEveryDay · 14/10/2021 17:11

Sadie and Eddie are clearly two of the best names ever !!

Cantstopthewaves · 14/10/2021 17:11

Sadie and Jude

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 14/10/2021 18:03

Love all your girls choices apart from Sadie (too trendy for me). My fave is probably Rosa. You might also like Lara, Nina, Anya or Juno?

Sorry, I only like Heath and Felix of your boys choices (love Heath!) - most are too trendy sounding for me. You might like Maxim, Ivo, Xander or Rufus?

Thanks everyone! Very much in the throwing names around stage at the minute so great to have some opinions. I'm surprised at the mostly positive responses for Chester as is a bit of a wild card! Thanks for the suggestions IamnotwhoyouthinkIam - Quite like Lara so may add that to the list!

Told OH I'd written this thread and he told me off for forgetting some.. What do you think about:

Girls:
Billie
Bella/Belle
Jessie
Sylvie

Boys:
Jesse
Travis

I don't think Maggie and Eddie go well together but like the rest from your first list.

Not a fan of Maggie and Jessie / Jesse. Nor Billie. I think it's a bit twee to have the same sound ending for siblings but that is very much a personal opinion. Although I do think Maggie and Sylvie is cute. Like the rest.

Rosa and Felix
