@silverliningclouds

Love them especially Oscar for a boy might have to swap out chase for Oscar , didn't even think of that name and I love it !

Your girls names are so so pretty ❤️

@Superstar41 thank you. We've always wanted an Adelaide if we had a girl and would shorten it to Addie.
We wanted Oscar the whole way along last time but changed our minds last min!

@silverliningclouds I love Addie !

What did you choose instead of Oscar ? :):)

So here goes:

Girls
Violet
Melody
Erin
Autumn
Katelyn

Oops forgot boys 😂
Archer
Eric
Max
Barnaby
Huxley

Girls
India
Hallie
Connie
Alexis
Lois

If you're pronouncing it MEE-LA then spell it like that or Mila. Myla is definitely MY-LA (I have friends with these names for their kids.

Harriet
Alice
Lillian
Catherine
Emily

Thomas (my son's name)
Henry
Edward
Gregory
James

@20viona I have a friend who's called Myla pronounced (Me-la) and I prefer this spelling so would want to spell it this way

@Britannah thank you need to stay positive! Beautiful names , love liberty! That's my boyfriends younger sisters name love love love !! Oscar is a runner for me now too ;)

@Waiting2BAMummy another Oscar!! Love all of your names 😻

@BabyDust13 OMG Barnaby and Autumn 🥺 love them! Autumn is now on my list 😋😋

@Superstar41 I really struggle with boys names out of all my list OH will only consider Archer (which I don't mind because it's my fav) but he has no names to add 🤦🏻‍♀️ so I'm searching high and low

Girls names he loves my top two so that's easy

@Joffrey Harriet !! Another one that's gonna have to go on my list for when the time comes 💖

@BabyDust13 ah bless you has he got any other names in mind not on your list ?

@Superstar41 no he's about as helpful as a chocolate teapot 😂

Boys
Alexei

@BabyDust13 lol 😂 my boyfriends the same ! He likes Logan best because he's a big wolverine and likes scarlet because he's a huge marvel fan!

@buckingmad I'm sure Harry and Meghan stole Archie from me too ;) I love love Evelyn 😻 a name I'm trying to convince my partner in is Savannah, this is one of my favs but he doesn't like it because a girl called savannah spat in his face when he was little 🥺😅

I love this thread! I don’t have 5 for each though sadly!

Harriet
Matilda
Lily

Harvey
Max
Oliver / Oscar are ones I love but OH doesn’t agree.

We struggle more on boys names than girls, although we don’t love love either of the above... so happily looking for inspo

@queenmother I love love love xanthe, my friends little girl is called xanthe and she's the cutest little dot !!

@Superstar41 I hate it when someone ruins a name for you! Savannah is lovely!

I’ve always like James but my OH is called James and I am not having a Junior!! One of him is bad enough 😂

@Superstar41 my OH is a massive marvel fan we have a hamster called Domino for that very reason I quite like Loki but he's not sold

@buckingmad I know I'm going to have to convince him ;) James is a lovely name !! Haha James Jr doesn't sound too bad ;)

@BabyDust13 he wants to call a baby boy Thor I had to put my foot down 🤣 Loki isn't too bad tho not a fan of the character ;)

This is a really lovely thread. I do love thinking about baby names.

Girls:
Elisa
Clara
Thora
Alice
Grace

Boys:
Angus
Hamish
Atli
Emil
Amos

My partner is Icelandic so Atli and Emil are Icelandic names. Thor is also a traditional Icelandic name and he loves it but I told him people will just connect it with the movie. However, I like Thora and it’s the female version of Thor.
