I know it may seem a bit twee, to have 'themes' but I would like some help with names. For a girl, we already have Jade, and have come up with 2 possibilities if bump is a girl. Amethyst (shortened to Ammy) or Sapphire (shortened to Saffy). Any suggestions on other gemstone names for girls? NOT Krystal...have aquaintance with DD named this.

For boys we have a Logan and an Ayden, and my baby that was sb in 2008 was named Korben. I would like a boys name ending in 'en' 'on' or 'an', preferably one that isn't too commonly used (nothing in the top 50 please!)

How about Ruby? Im really glad you started this thread Loudlass,I was on your 'Hellooo' thread, but you never returned to it. I am glad to hear you and baby are going strong.

I dislike Logan is VERY common but if that doesnt bother you then cool . . and why spell Ayden like that?

Not being rude but I never understand people that spell basic names with different letters. IMO you arent making your child any more stylish or unique you're just giving them a life of spelling out their name.

I like Saffy though

I love Pearl for a girl

What about Evan for a boy?

(lillysa - you have been rude - you have slagged off the names she's given her existing sons)

Jamieandhismagictorch · 18/06/2010 14:36

Sorry - should have also said - I like Sapphire

Emerald is nice too - and could be shortened to Emma if she finds it a bit of a mouthful when she's older
