Help us find a name!

[PregnantAtLast]

Pregnant after many years of fertility treatment... madly excited and already thinking about names!!

These are names I like so far... thoughts or other similar suggestions very welcome... We like names associated with nature and my partner loves Greek/Roman mythology - not essential but it's a plus if it has links to these!

Boys:
Theseus, shortened to Theo
Leonardo/ Leo
Eliot
Arthur
August (due in August!)
Robin

Girls:
Athena
Persephone
Willow
Ivy
Amber
Aurora

I like August (it's established name in Central Europe), Arthur and Theseus from your boy list
I love Aurora, Ivy and Persephone from your girls list

suggestions
Nephele
Thisbe
Callista
Valkyrie (Norse mythology)
Freya
Enid (Arthurian name)
Gwen

Lance
Gawain
Gareth
Endymion
Albion
Oberon
Florian (male name in Austria)
Caspian
Lucius/Lucian
Julian
Maximilian

I like August and Aurora best.

How about
Penelope
Cecilia

Quentin
Roman

I love your existing list, so I'll go through ones I would get rid of to help find ' the one' rather than add any into the mix! I'd get rid of Arthur - there's so, so many out there, the world doesn't need another Arthur! Ivy is nice, but really blends into the Evie, Eva, Ava trend imho so comes across a bit blah. Leonardo is great, but Leo is again very overdone, and kind of merges into the Theo, Leo, Arlo etc trend.

Athena and Robin are my absolute faves.

Boys:
Theseus, shortened to Theo - Theo massively overused
Leonardo/ Leo - not keen on Leonardo. Love Leo but it's very popular
Eliot - several spellings might be a pain.
Arthur - very popular
August (due in August!) - not keen
Robin - OK

Girls:
Athena - OK, doesn't shorten very well
Persephone -too long
Willow - nice but popular
Ivy - too popular and too Evie/Ava/
Amber - nice
Aurora - too many Rs

Your taste is quite similar to ours.

apollo
casper
torin
elio
magnus
rex
rowan
leopold
cyrus
victor
cosmo

seraphina
juno
zelda
calliope
daphne
juniper
clara
eden
wren
aurelia
iris
maeve
matilda
autumn

Agree that Arthur, Leo and Theo are overused and starting to sound dated as they hall out of fashion.

Your other options are way more timeless!

Sorry fall

I love Robin for a boy (I'm a big Bee Gees fan and Robin Gibb happened to be my favourite of them) and I also really like Robin Williams. Arthur is nice too.

Does your partner also like names that are linked to Celtic/Arthurian mythology, or specifically just Greek and Roman?

Given by your interests, here are some suggestions:

Girls
Diana - Roman Goddess
Venus - Roman Goddess
Luna - Roman Goddess
Violet
Rose
Summer
Lily
Holly
Hazel
Rhiannon (Welsh mythology)
Niamh (Irish mythology)

Boys
River
Ocean
Sol (Roman Sun God)
Gawain (Arthurian)
Gaheris (Arthurian)
Gareth (Arthurian)
Fionn/Finn (Irish mythology)
Bran - (Welsh mythology)
Gwydion (Welsh mythology)
Owain (Welsh/Arthurian mythology)
Kai/Kay (Welsh/Arthurian mythology)

The only one I'd avoid is August for a baby born in August, it just seems a bit twee imo

Rowan, for either sex

Ariadne

Theseus, shortened to Theo - excellent
Leonardo/ Leo - lovely name
Eliot - the only one of your boys' names I dislike (it's a great list!)
Arthur - very popular but great name
August (due in August!) - fine
Robin - great name

Girls:
Athena - lovely
Persephone - I really like this name
Willow - not a fan
Ivy - really harsh sound
Amber - nice, if dated
Aurora - pretty

My faves, inspired from your list..

Thank you so much for all the replies - some really nice suggestions to think about! :)

Sometimes you look at lists of baby names out of context and your eyes start to boggle - it's really helpful to have people suggest things individually!
