Baby due in 4 weeks - help me decide... Christian is front runner..

[Boobz]

...and I don't even know if it is a boy, but this is the only name I have really loved over the last month of so.

So, names we have for a boy are:

Christian (nn Kit)
Hector
Dashiell (nn Dash)
Isaac (nn Ike or Zac)... I love this but am worried that it's too popular now - and yes, I do care about that sort of thing I'm afraid...

with either Alexander or Benjamin for middle name.

And girls names:

Valentina (nn Nina)
Marianne (nn Annie, but would probably call her Marianne mostly)
Constance (nn Connie, which I love - much more than I like Constance, but I'm of the long formal name variety, so would never christen her Connie, IYSWIM)

with middle name Lily, probably.

Already have a 14 mo DD who is Penelope Lucy (Pen / Penny / Penpots for short).

Last name is Reed.

What would you go for, for boy or girl?

Promise I won't do a million of these threads in the last month, so do give me some feedback!

Thanks.

Isaac and Marianne.

Christian & Constance

I much prefer Christopher to Christian but I think Kit's good.

I like all your other choices, especially the girl's names. I think you're right about Isaac getting popular.

Christian and Constance

But I think Christopher is much more likely to be shortened to Chris, which I don't like, vs Kit, which I love.... non?

I like Christian and Christopher but am not that keen on Chris. I much prefer your suggestion of Kit. Hector would be my first choice of your list.

I really like Valentina!

Everyone's liking different things...

Christian is lovely and not that widely used at the mo. Kit and Chris both good nn

I love Valentina as well. I know a 6yo Valentina nn Vali

Christian and Valentina.

Like all of your boys names tbh.

Think that Nina (as a nn for Valentina) goes best with Penny; Connie too much the same and Marianne just doesn't sit well with Penny style wise imo. Having said that again, I like them all individually iyswim.

Christian and Constance. Both really lovely!

Isaac Alexander sounds nice. Out of your girls names I like constance.

christian constance valentina nn vale

Christian (Kit) and Valentina (Nina).

I agree with LaDiDaDi's comments too.

i love christian from your girls list prefer constance although not over keen.

I really like the sound of valentina but wouldnt use nina as a nn

How about just Nina?

I prefer Christopher to Christian and I like Marianne

Oooo thanks for all the responses. Christian (Kit) and Valentina are my faves at the moment, but had never though of Vale as a nn - reminds me of Vicky Vale from Batman.. COuldn't use Vali as a nn, as I am Ali, and that would be a bit silly, Ali and daughter Vali...

My South American friend is called Vale pronounced as Valet (parking) Valay, very pretty!

Christian and Marianne (could have nn Nan)

Christian and Constance

Christian is my least favourite of your boy's names. It's dullsville. Christians are wet.

Dashiell is super cool . Love Dash. Hector is quite funky. Isaac is very common, but a lovely name.

Your girls names are all fabulous. Marianne by a whisker for me.

I really love your choices of names. Probably least like Isaac (just not very exciting,for my money) and most like Dashiell or Kit (I have a nephew Kit); love all three girls' names and think Marianne probably goes best with your Penny.

Hector and constance.

Love Christian/Kit.
LOVE Hector.
Don't like Dashiell at all as it sounds a bit 'try hard' and I think Dash is that silly, whizzy little boy in The Incredibles, if that matters to you!
I like Isaac but not Zak or Ike.

Marianne is fabbo, then Constance.
