This is my 4th pregnancy and I'm feeling really positive this time.
I have a list of names I like with Charlotte and Eleanor being top for girls (and possibly Sylvie) and Henry and August for boys but I want to refine my list. I feel like I've looked at so many names but I need additional inspiration because my favourite ones are so popular. Last name is similar to Simpson. I love aliteration but don't like many 's' names.
Girls -
Charlotte (Lottie) - the most popular name in NZ for girls although only given to around 250 people.
Eleanor (Ellie/Nora)
Harriet (don't love the nicknames)
Georgia
Matilda (Millie)
Olivia (Ollie)
Athena (Thea/Nina) - Probably wouldn't use it
Sylvie - Don't like Sylvia at all but it feels a little incomplete.
Florence (don't like all nn's)
Boys -
August (don't love the nn's but can get behind them)
Henry
Otis
Theodore (Theo/Teddy) - it is SO popular though
Maxwell (Max)
Lachlan
Arlo
Reuben
Otto
Elliott (Lio/Otto)
Jethro and Odin - I think these but would likely never use them
I want two middle names for each - one after family and one I like. It may be my only baby and I love names. Girl will be Rose after my nana and I and boy will be have John. Other middle names I like are any of the above and James, Wilfred, Felix, Adeline, Ayla, April (my mum's original name before adoption), and Alora/Elora (it means my beautiful dream).
I'd love to hear some names in my style that aren't so popular. TIA!
