Dp and I trying for baby, give me names to suggest before MIL puts her suggestions forward

[shoot]

She tried to name my baby last time so this time I feel it's important to decide before hand on a few names to suggest to DP as soon as I get pregnant and before MIl chips in.

I know the norm on MN is to go for names like Edward and James and Arthur, and those names are lovely for those children.

But I don't like old fashioned names for my children.

Please put as many suggestions forward as you can think of.

I already love Lucas for a boy but need more suggestions, and Liberty for a girl but needs loads more suggestions for girls too.

So astound me

Well yes, we are in Scotland so it must be.
But I think its ghaaaasssttly.
(Boyd I mean, not Scotland)

I don't like Boyd either, but there's one on Neighbours. It's sort of in the Borris, Barney list of fiasco names.

Dont' even discuss it with her.

My style is classic eccentric, but if it were modern (?) I like Skye, Summer, Autumn.

I'm pissed that Nicold Kidman used Sunday, becuase I think quite a few days make good names. Tuesday definitely. Sunday, Dimanche! (Sp)

Amber, Opal, Garnet, or... Silver with Silvie for short?

Place names. eg, Kendall ?

The virgin baby names book is really good because as well as a classic alphabetical list, it has names at the beginning, listed according to Roman, Greek, Jewels, Royal, Nature, Celebrity etc..
