If you gave birth today (hypothetically) what do you think you would name your baby?

I think if I had a girl she would be Monroe and boy would be Atlas

Clara

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 14/01/2025 20:43

Girl would be Elizabeth (Betty) Lucy
Boy would be Patrick Leonard

But no chance of any more... 🤞

A girl - Ruth (Ruthie)
A boy - Alec

Comedycook · 14/01/2025 20:44

Chloe and Zachary

Probably Frida, Nancy, Tabitha or something Shakespearean for a girl - I'm liking Celia and Viola at the moment. And Rufus for a boy - I don't like as many boys' names and this has been a consistent favourite.

Too many Tommys, Teddys and Reggies where I live I like Malakai and Orla

EmiliaRuusuvuori · 14/01/2025 20:55

Santiago for a boy.
Peyton for a girl.

Currently pregnant with a boy and his name is Freddie but if I was having a girl she would be called Nancy

Whoyoutakingto · 14/01/2025 20:57

Freddie is lovely

mistyfields · 14/01/2025 20:58

Iris or Felicity for a girl; Thomas or Edward for a boy.

Enko · 14/01/2025 20:58

Likely Bertram for a boy. Illona for a girl or Seraphina

Notellinganyone · 14/01/2025 21:03

Hal (in this case short for He tor rather than Harry) and Martha.

Far too many ‘ie’ names in general. Hate them.

I would have a little Cora too.

Newnameneededforthisone · 14/01/2025 21:15

Eliza and Linus

hummingbird12 · 14/01/2025 21:17

Maeve for a girl
Kit or Jesse for a boy

Starsandall · 14/01/2025 21:18

anya/cass

KayEmAy · 14/01/2025 21:19

Monroe is SO cute!

Today it would be Eve and Kit.

MojoJojo71 · 14/01/2025 21:21

Felicity or Antigone for a girl

Darwin or Edison for a boy

All vetoed by DD’s dad

ToastyCat · 14/01/2025 21:22

James Alexander for a boy, and I really struggle with girls' names.

MelainesLaugh · 14/01/2025 21:23

Isla Caitlin

Michael Benjamin

Waggytail · 14/01/2025 21:24

Louisa or Genevieve for a girl

Thomas or Alexander for a boy

namechangeGOT · 14/01/2025 21:27

My girl would be either Martha or Eleanor

My boy would be Jimmy or Matthew

Dontcallmescarface · 14/01/2025 21:29

The same name DD has now. No idea about a boy's name...I've never come across one I like.

Nevertoocoldforicecream · 14/01/2025 21:29

I think Joseph for a boy, but I'm not sure about a girl. I like Maeve, but we've a cousin with that name. I also like Felicity, but I'm not sure I'd use it, same with Sylvie.
