Lemuel for a boy.

Cleopatra, Persephone and Calypso for girls. I still wonder if I can sneak them in as middle names

My DS's name is on this thread

Autumm for a girl I love it

Poppy,Holly, Daisy, Lily our boys would not of suited Daisy and Lily also all our children are big people so DH said no to all the flowers still wish I had Autum!

Am I the only one to have a DH who wanted unusual names for our two?

So my "guilty pleasures" are standard names: Jonathan, James - things like that.

Loving saladdays' hippy name of Pebble though. Maybe once you become an off-the-wall celeb eh?

I love the name Assunta as well. If I ever have another girl it will probably be at the top of my list.

I also liked Adeline, Crista (sounds a bit too much like Cresta for me though), Ada, Penelope, Farrah and Magda. But they got thumbs down from DH.

Jocasta. I thought Jocasta Innes was fabulous when I was a little girl, so it just always seemed beautiful. Everyone else thought I'd lost my mind.

Fuschia for a girl

Chip for a boy

I've always loved Cornelius but you couldn't saddle a child with that could you?! DP and I both like Josiah too (West Wing fans) but not sure we'd be brave enough.

I like Fionn (pronounced Finn, as in Fionn mac Cumhaill) because my Irish granny used to tell me Fionn mac Cumhaill stories when I was little but it would mis-pronounced all the time. I really like Saoirse too but that would have similar spelling/pronounciation issues.

Chip was my nickname at school, no reason, just decided I didn't want to be called my name and wouldn't answer to anything else.

I would have loved to have named DD lettice.

I want a girl, and I want to name her:

VALENTINA

Saw that one mentioned on page 1 already

Good powerful yet feminine name.

im having a girl and really like rein (sounds like rain) for the middle name
first names are not as easy as stupid me i gave partner control over first name and now he likes elizabeth and victoria...(my worst nightmare as i like unusual names)
i named my others who are called mason (boy) and akacia (girl) HELP!!!
names i like are

sierra
elora
neveah (heaven backwards)

he wont have none of it
anyone know a compromise??

some others i love:

girls

Miel
Minou
Lorelei
Avila
Asha
Sunday
Sigurros

i like asha (asher) but i have a real problem with it being shortened to ash!!

Girls
Sheba

BOYS
Geronimo

REALLY wanted to give DS middle name 'Danger' but it got lost in those hazy, weepy early days when was being all emotional and I'd completely lost my sense of humour.

So regret it now, especially how appropriate it would be for the little terror.

I think my DD1 has my guilty name: Merren
I really like Saiorse(sp) too though, but no one would be able to pronounce it! I always wanted a girl called Eden, and thankfully my DH loved it and it's now dd2's name.
LOVE Jasper for a boy, but since Twilight came out everyone would think it was from that! We had a Joel instead. My Dh has never really vetoed any names............there's still time though!

My DP is called Gabriel so I love that name. I love Irish names but DP isn't so sure that people over here would get them...Caoibhe, Aisling and Aoife are faves of mine for a girl and for a boy Cillian, Oisin and Fionn...needless to say DP isn't convinced

If I had another girl, I would dearly love to use Poppy, but it wouldn't be acceptable as a first name. Maybe for a middle name...

For a boy, I wanted to use Jasper or Felix, but neither worked. DS's middle name is James as a compromise.

There's a notable theme of ancient greek names in lots of people's lists. Interesting.
