Hi, its my due date on tuesday, we dont know if we are having a boy or a girl, and we still havent decided on names - cue Mumsnet to the rescue!!!
Our ds is Noah Gabriel Joseph.
Didnt think in our wildest dreams we would conceive again, but HA! we did, and now we need 3 beautiful names in case we have another boy.
We quite like Isaac, Oscar, and poss Felix.
There are lots of others in the running for middle names but not much scope for first names.
We like biblical names but I also like funky names....not chavtastic though!
Its so hard!!!!

Our girls names are whittled down to (in no particular order), Alice, Matilda, Imogen, and Amelie - any pref in order?? Or indeed any other suggestions to go with any of them?
Honest opinions please and all suggestions welcome!!!!!!!!!!
I just want the baby to come, and would prefer to have a shortlist of names for when it arrives. I just cant do any more "nesting!, im knackered...............

For a girl

BrokenArm · 28/11/2009 09:45

I like Alice & Isaac, I dislike the rest.

Oscar Felix is beautiful, and goes very well with Noah, but would need a another mn to balance his brother's full set, the suggestion of James from Mathsanxiety was a v good one. Imo Isaac is quite harsh and oft gets shortened to Zac, which is also a increasingly popular name used in its own right; whilst neither Noah or Oscar lend themselves to shortening - another reason why they go so well together.

Alice or Matilda would be my choice if yo have a girl: lovely, classic names. The obvious nn for Matilda is Tilly but Tilda is pretty too. If I was going to be picky, I'd say Imogen and Amelie are slightly edging into twee-ness for my taste.

Alice is a lovely name.

monkeysavingexpertdotcom · 28/11/2009 11:29

Thing is, someone always seems to know a dog/cat/bully/unpleasant sleb with the name you want to call your child - Felix is a cat, Oscar is a Grouch, blah blah. Just go with one you like. Pity about Jasper J though. Also prefer Matilda/Tilly for girls out of your list.
Deepdarkwood! The tops I bought look great on the dds. Dd1 has been the talk of the class with her Stella MCartney original - not likely to get any of that stuff in our local Gap! How are you?

diddl · 28/11/2009 14:14

From your OP,I like all of the names!

I always wanted 2 boys-Oscar William & Felix Charles.
Congratulations!

Let us know what you have & what name you decide on!

mathanxiety · 28/11/2009 16:57

You could go with Ike as a nn for Isaac if you wanted to avoid Zac.

pussycatmomma · 28/11/2009 22:32

thank you so much ladies,, me and dh just umming and aahing over our list now!
keep the suggestions coming if anyone can be bothered!!
any more ideas on a 1 syllable name eg James to use as a 2nd middle name?
We are liking
Isaac Felix James
Oscar Felix James
Felix Oscar James.........
whereas James had never really been at the forefront of things before! Thanks ladies
All suggestions and honest opionions gratefully received!

My DS2 is Felix Oscar and my DS1 is Noah Joseph . Good choices

weepootle · 29/11/2009 13:59

From your OP, my favourites are:

Boys - Felix... not so keen on Oscar, Isaac is ok. You mentioned Elijah later- this is lovely.. I may be biased as I knew an adorable little boy called this.

Girls - Matilda (biased again )... next Imogen and Martha. Don't like Alice, Amelie is lovely if you're French- don't you like Amelia?

Good luck.

tanmu82 · 30/11/2009 13:53

I quite like Amelie Matilda Grace.....normally I don't like Matilda at all, but it kinda flows in the above sequence....
For boys I love Elijah. I like Ezekiel even more but DH doesn't

Rachybabes · 21/12/2009 22:12

I love Alice,a gorgeous, classic, yet quirky name ! xx

thisisyesterday · 21/12/2009 22:20

i have a Linus William, Gabriel Edward and Asa Nicholas

Lucien
Soren
Noam

Frances
Zelda
Daisy
Mavis

florence2511 · 22/12/2009 01:38

Matilda and Alice for the girls
Felix Oscar James is fab

NancyDrewRocks · 22/12/2009 04:43

DS1 middle name is Oscar and DS2 first name Felix so love them both.

Really don't like Amelie for a girl.

DC4 potential names include Cassius and Jasper for a boy and Martha or Nancy for a girl.

zozzle · 02/01/2010 22:56

Amelie will date. Isaac nice, Oscar okish and Felix sounds like a cat.

JaneiteIsTrite · 02/01/2010 23:00

Alice, Matilda and Imogen all lovely. Amelie doesn't do much for me.
Oscar and Isaac lovely but I don't like Felix.

Samuel?
Jacob?
Solomon?
Elijah?
David?
Luke?

sweetkitty · 02/01/2010 23:05

Imogen and Isaac

I find out in about a week that DB4 will be DD4, I'm going to "steal" another MNers DD1's name though.

dizzycringles · 02/01/2010 23:09

who's kitty, who's?!!??

displayuntiltwelfthnight · 02/01/2010 23:11

Solomon for a boy?
Amelie or Imogen for a girl?

Don't think I am following you lockets, four of a kind here

Dizzy - yours lol

dizzycringles · 02/01/2010 23:21

I don't think I can lay claim to it seeing as it has proved to be quite popular recently!

dizzycringles · 02/01/2010 23:24

and lockets no, she obviously hasn't seriously considered many names as yet - how could she without our consultation?!?!?

sweetkitty · 02/01/2010 23:25

Tis the only one DP and I both like since he hates Elodie

What was it described as on here, is that your common or chav one?

Will go well with my other 3 which have been described as boring, chav, horrid and a slang name for fanjo
