I like Blake for a boy, and DH likes Jace but we are open to sugestions.

For a girly we both like Sasha but again more ideas would be nice. Go on... have some fun and tell what you think goes nicely with my Evan and Holly!

Your dh's name is Scottish is it not Cod?

And actually I quite like it.

Evan, Holly & Rebecca

Evan, Holly & Barney

DualCylinderCod · 08/02/2008 13:02

yes and cna be a girls name too rather nicely imo

MrsMattie · 08/02/2008 13:02

Jace is vile, and nowhere near as nice as Evan and Holly. Don't do it!

mcfee · 08/02/2008 13:04

Not so sure about Barney, Fimbo but agree Evan, Holly & Rebecca!

It's a sad day when you can name everyone in your office and you are supposed to be this huge multi national company!

Great suggestions - I love Lewis and had forgotten that I used to like that name! Dh likes it also.
I think L names are quite a good carry on from Evan and Holly. Lola or Lara are nice.

Joel and Serena

Kimi · 08/02/2008 20:37

I know a Holly who has a brother called Barnaby (Barney) see its a good combination

morethanmum · 09/02/2008 08:36

Hooray! Nobody ever likes my names. So we keep them quietish til the babies are born, then people have to be nice

zebedee1 · 09/02/2008 09:37

How about Lila or Flynn? I like those names a lot!

shrooms · 09/02/2008 10:03

Actually I do love Flynn! Hmm, we seem to ave gone from aving ardly any name ideas to noy being able to decide! Thanks so much for all your replies... how will we ever choose now

So for a boy we now like: Lewis, Flynn, Blake still in the running.

For a girl we like: Lara, Lola, Sasha, Matilda.

Ellen is a great name but sadly a no go with Evan - it would be a tongue twister!

When is baby due? Let us know what you choose!

lollipopmother · 09/02/2008 11:07

Flynn isn't my cup of tea at all, it sounds like a Fin that has gone wrong.

shrooms · 09/02/2008 15:44

Oh not for ages due July 24th!
I am just really excited and happy to be having this baby as I thought I'd lose it when I had to go in with my COPD last month. Was really scared as I had got really excited already and Holly is 6 so there was a big gap. We had tried for another when she was about 2 but it didn't really happen and so we never expected it and it was such a great suprise!

devonsmummy · 09/02/2008 22:29

whoops! Darcie
DH's nan was Hettie

3andnomore · 09/02/2008 22:32

Darcie looks better like that, but personaly I love it as Darcy...or D'arcy...but that might would be constriued as chavvie, lol!

God, am I glad that I don't really have to think for Babynames for us anymore...lol...it's a tough game
