Baby Names

[OliviaGrace]

I have some fantastic news.....my friend is heavily pregnant and asked me to choose the baby's name. We don't know the sex of the baby. I have a few names for each sex and would be grateful if you could narrow down two favourites, one girls name and one boys name from the lists below.

GIRLS jasmine cassie harriet dionne miranda BOYS
elliot
demetrio
thomas
cody
saul
george

(I first read Cody as 'Coddy' - Too much time on MN!

the names i had for my baby before we knew it was a boy were matthew and morgan. now we know its gonna be a boy so matthew it is.

Harriet and Elliot definately, they were the two names I had in mind for my recently lost one.

Cassie is cute

Latest scores (I know I'm sad aren't I )

Jasmine and Thomas - but I'm a real traditionalist - don't like anything that sounds vaguely 'made up'

Harriet and George

I like Cassie and Elliot.

I can't seem to find anybody in RL or MN who has a child with the same name as my ds! He's called Toby. I didn't realise it was that unusual.

What a privelage Oliviagrace.... and a scary one too!

THere is a Jesus at dds toddler club - pronounced hayzoos!

Cassie and elliot

Miranda or saul

Miranda and Thomas.

What about second names? Jasmine Miranda is lovely - a scented wonder! Thomas Eliot?

My ds is Joel which round here anyway is moderately unusual atm but is racing up the charts. Funnily enough I think it's fantastic.

Latest update - close thing on Elliot and Thomas, Harriet just out in front for the girls.

Toothache - had a friend in Zimbabwe called Toby, and the little brother of one of DS1's friends is also called Toby

When I was expecting my first (14 yrs ago), I couldn't decide between Lauren, Holly or Megan for a girl (Lauren won) and we had Thomas for a boy.

Second time round (4 yrs ago), had Fay for a girl and Zach for a boy - thank god we saw sense because he's a gorgeous little Billy (not William or Will). Sometimes, you need to see the baby to realise what name suits.

Someone I knew let their daughter decide their new baby's name, called him Ewan for a few months then changed it to Griff because they really didn't like the first one. Oops

I vote for Cassie and Elliot.

Friend has just called hers Rafferty!

Mine are Max and Joshua and would have been Annabelle and Madeleine if they had been girls.

i know 4 newborn boys and 3 are called thomas, the other alfie. i like jasmin for a girl, and mia. let us all know what you decide

George & Harriet

One of my dds is Cassie, Oliviagrace!
Fab name IMO

Cassie and Elliot

Lol bubbles.....I misread your post and thought u said you had 3 newborn sons all called thomas....I thought, what?!?!? crazy woman lol. Imagine calling all your babies the same name. That would be bizarre!

Dionne and Cody. But that is may be because Dionne is a greek name and so is mine Dionne was Aphrodite's mother - I love it!

hiya! just posted this on another thread so re-posting cos its fun...

came across this babyname website (satire) when I was looking - reminds us all that names are tres subjective!

It is extracts of postings from an american website (where else?) with very funny commentary...

enjoy!

Baby's named a bad thing!

I like Harriet and Elliot. I wanted Elliot for ds but he is named after my grandad. His middle name Thomas though.
