Hello Mumsnet,

I’m due this week and we have kept the sex of the child a surprise and as before, my husband and I are struggling a bit agreeing on names. We have a shortlist for boys and girls but I expect some of my favourites have either been knocked off because we don’t both like it, or it doesn’t go well with our slightly awkward last name. The new baby will be a sibling to our oldest child Maeve (who’s name I still love but has now become super popular it would seem but I guess that’s just one of this things). So here are some that me and my husband both think are ok at least…but wouldn’t say I’m totally sold on

Grin

Boys:

  • Alden
  • Arlen (front runner)
  • Beck
  • Flynn
  • Logan
  • Orson (front runner)
  • Raymond
  • Sebastian
  • Vincent

Girls

  • Ada
  • Aisling
  • Anwen
  • Ava
  • Bridget
  • Cora (my second favourite after Nora but my husband doesn’t like Nora)
  • Eleanor
  • Elva

@ALonelyGreyCouch Birdie is cool but one of my first daughters best friends is already a Birdie (no by nickname) so can’t have that one. It’s lovely though isn’t it.
