Name ideas please (boys esp).

[LaDiDaDi]

I'm due in Dec and need to while way time until then and I love a good baby names thread sooo...

I have lots of ideas for girls names and basically I would like something not too cutesy and a well known but not very fashionable right now iyswim.

Nina
Alexa
Harriet
Ruth
Elsa
Susannah

Really struggling for boys which I have the same criteria for

Stephen
Arthur

also like but can't have

Michael
Edwin
Edward

Any ideas please?

i love michael and arthur,

Alexander
James
Paul
Benjamin
Cole
Daniel
Freddie
??

Harriet Ruth is a perfect name imho.

Stephen and Arthur are not really doing it for me, sorry.

Edmund?
Luke?
Matthew?
Vincent?
Oliver?
Theodore?

Alexander is going on the list. I also like Vincent though not sure dp will.

I love Daniel but dp won't have it.

Adding Samuel.

I like Samuel.

George
Henry
Harry
Issac
Evan
William
Beau
Alfie

Sylvia
Stephanie
Louisa
Clare
Sarah

Alistair
Eric
Russell
Christopher
Andrew
Jonathan

George would be a contender for me but it is the name of one of dd's dolls and that really puts me off now.

Henry is good.

William is a lovely name but for family name reasons I'm not keen on using it personally iyswim.

Aidan
Reese
Nathaniel
Nate
Peter

Lawrence?
Austin?

Erica or Lara for girls?

Peter is good.

No to Erica and Laura is dd's name so no to Lara as well.

Laurence is a fab name but no good if you have a Laura.

Sebastian?
Dominic?
Benedict?
Gabriel?

I like Benedict but I just can't imagine me having a child called Benedict iyswim.

I think I'm just very hard to please.

Edie
Elizabeth
Lily
Evie
Ava
Bella
Catherine
Florence

Eliza should be on my list.

Love Catherine but have a very good friend called Catherine so not sure about using it as anything other than a middle name.

Will be back later, dd calling me to do a puzzle with her.

Thanks for all of your suggestions so far.

Lois
Iris
Camille

I really like your girls list, especially Nina and Elsa!

What about these boys names:

Quentin
Benedict
Tobias

Lewis
Noah

Patrick
Timothy
Marcus

Eliza is lovely and Susannah too.

I like Tobias too and love Toby.

Quentin just makes me think of The Famous Five, which is a shame, as it could be a v cool name!

I love Nina and Like Elsa, too, which is more unusual just now. How abour Edmund instead of Edward/Edwin? or Eamonn, which is the Irish form?

Quentin is cool but sounds silly with surname.

Tobias/Toby is nice. I also like Patrick and Noah.

Susannah is my current fave name

love Arthur but Edwin VERY cool

Justin
Francis
Ciaran/Keiran

Frances
Hope
Faith
I like Susannah too

Boys so far

Arthur
Patrick

Noah
