Some names

[tummytickler]

Dh and i were talking about some names the other night - this is my way of keeping the thought in the back of his mind that we will be going for number 5 soonish - and it works/
Would love some opinions on the girls names -
We have 4 children - Iris, Pearl, Amos and Elijah.

Our list

Winifred - top for me
Joan - top for dh
Mary
Jean
Margaret - Maggie
Dorothy - Dot
Hilda
Audrey

We would probably go for a more wacky mn - Sunshine, Bluebell, Violet etc

I am sure they will not be terribly popular but thought i would test the waters!

Boys names under consideration are Jethro, Jeremiah (Jem) and Atticus.

I love, love, love Atticus! But DH wouldn't let me have it for DS...

your girls names Iris and Pearl are very pretty names but your list of girls names are a bit haughty and straight. I would be jealous of my sisters if it were me

But Jeremiah was such a sad character in the bible....

Coral
Nell
Edith
Ruby

Ned
Atticus is cool
Cassius
Abraham
Noah
Saul
Seth
Elijah
Reuben

please dont do Winifred. for your dd

Interesting that your dd's names are retro cool and your ds names are biblical.

Jeremiah is lovely

Jeremiah Duggan a cause i am close to

I LOVE your girls names

Iris was first choice too if DS had been a girl... I like the way you think!

Dorothy would go well with Iris and Pearl. Mary is lovely too but goes less well. Someone mentioned Dulcie - beautiful.

I like all your boys' names, especially Atticus.

I love Audrey as it immediately makes me think of Audrey Hepburn

Hi - sorry for the delay in replying - a dead computer at home!

Gosh - i really thought i might get a more positive response - although i am not bothered at all by the negative ones.

Winifred is partly a family name - we suggested it jokingly for other dd's but have really started to love it!

Joan came about from my love of Juniper - dh wasnt so sure but he loved Joan, i also like it.

Well - there is plenty of thinking time!
dh mentioned Penelope and Bernard last night so mulling those over at the moment - although there is the same initial with the girls!

Thanks everyone!

Atticus is very cool
I also know and love a dear little 3yr old Audrey, unusual and pretty.

Like Maggie and Winifred and all the flower names and Jem for a boy.

Heard the name Miriam the other day on this little girl and thought it very nice and elegant.
