first baby due in June, having a surprise! Very excited. I’m certain I’ve considered every name possible but can you make any more suggestions based on the following…

I have always liked the name June, it’s in my top 5 names but now the baby is due in June I don’t know if it’s vetoed. What are your thoughts?

Rest of list…

Girls:
Elizabeth or Elisabeth
Charlotte
Grace
Lilian nn Lily

boys: (I have really struggled for boys names)
Louis (Loo-ee)
Evan
Leo
Jude - doubt we will use as it’s so so common
Luca - as above, too common

Other names I like but probably wouldn’t use for various reasons:

Rosie
Amelie
Lucia
Meredith
Alessia
Emmeline
Merryn
Amryth
Evelyn
Mary

Jack
George
Joseph
Julian

Many thanks!

I don’t want to out myself but the baby is due on my milestone birthday, in June! So it’s extra special.

@TappyGilmorethats a really fair observation! I guess I don’t mind more common girl names, especially if they are traditional names.

I struggle with boy names a lot, I’m yet to find a boy name I absolutely love. I could be wrong but it feels like to me there is less variety with boy names and to every 10 Olivia’s there are 100 Oliver’s or Noah’s or Leo’s.

I think if I’m honest with myself, if I could choose the sex of the baby, it would be a girl. So maybe I’m just a bit biased and want to find excuses to not use certain boy names, I don’t know!

The baby is already loved though, whatever they are. And if it is a boy, he will still need a name!

It really doesn’t help that I see about 50 newborns a week at work so I’m constantly hearing baby names!

I absolutely LOVE June. Not all June's are born in June but probably the majority are.
June Elizabeth is gorgeous.
Of your boy names, I love Evan and Leo. Round here, Leo is far more popular than Jude.
Evan Ray would be a lovely nod to the summer connection.
