Hi,

I'm due our baby next month and we currently have no names! The gender is a surprise so I'd like to have a couple of each so we could then pick once we see them.

We already have a dd called Jemima. I like names that are a little different or ones that you know but don't hear that often.

Names we liked from our first pregnancy that we no longer can use / changed our mind were Delilah, Luca and Elias. We still do really like Elias but I don't like Eli because of a personal association now.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thank you for all the suggestions there's some great one's which I'm going to mention to the husband. I really like Vincent, Silas and Solomon from the suggestions for boys. Unfortunately I don't think I could call both my kids Jemima and Peter. I don't think they'd ever forgive me!

I'm really struggling with girls I think its just because I really like my daughters name that nothing seems to compare. We always liked Matilda but feel like we know lots now. I really liked Dorothea as well but husband wasn't completely sold.

Forgot to say that the middle name would be Robert for a boy and ideally Opal for a girl. There's no move on the mn for the boy as its very special for my husband. Surname is one syllable that's quite harsh sounding so feel that we need a slightly longer sounding first name x
