Baby name ideas please.........

[Lauraa83]

Have ds who is 20months, he's called Sonny and had wanted that name for years and totally love it. In other words, when I was pregnant I knew what I'd call a boy but if we had a girl there wasn't a name I 'loved' enough to have IYKWIM. I'm planning to try again soon and I take ages making decisions so thought I best start this now

One's I like so far............

Girls Lola Lila Isla Ellie Summer Boys
Louie
Theo
Charlie
Levi

just looking for the one!

sorry that bold bit went a bit wrong!

I love name threads . Isla is very pretty. I like Ellie too but it's very popular if that bothers you. Theo and Charlie are good names and Louis (!) isn't bad either.

lola - off the telly so there will be tons! like isla!

got a v old fashioned name for ds.. people always say... no, what's the baby's name.. there was a daphne and hector born same time as my dd

I like Isla - unusual, but not unheard of.

Know of a rabbit called Lola, so can't eqate it to a little girl!

Like all the boys names. Least favourite is Levi.

Naming a child is such a big responsibility isn't it. Ds2's name is one which I wasn't sure about. We love it, but not sure he will, so have also given middle names which are more widely used, just in case.

Girls, my favs are Lila and Isla (I wanted to name our DD Lila Grace but DH wasn't keen).
Boys, I think Theo is the best. If I have a DS I'm going to name him Lewis.

Thanks for the replies so far keep them coming! They are really helpful

As u can see Charlie and Lola are both on the list so if I have twins that's what they'll be

Lila sounds like sanitary protection. Why not go the whole hog and call her Lillette?

When I live in America I heard a small girl in the park called Madison and I thought it sounded gorgeous. I have two boys and that is my limit so no wee madisons here.

Isla is very nice as is Theo

Lewis is a great name, most popular boys name in Scotland last time I checked

KateF, I prefer the name prenounced Lou-ee rather than Lou-iss IYKWIM! I know Lou-ee can be spelt Louis, Louie or Lewie but I like the 'ou' ones and thought that as Louis can also be prenounced Lou-iss then people would get his name wrong???

Hope that makes sense

Thanks again for all the helpful replies -1

Lol, Lauraa83

If you have a girl, and called her Summer, you would have

Sonny Summer

Love Lewis and Ewan for a boy and maybe Mhari or Isla for a girl.

I fyou're looking for slightly unusual/comeback names, ones I've come across are:
Boys:
Travis (!)
Milo
Luca
Caleb
Zachary (Zack)
Nico
Ross
Perry
Bennet

Girls:
Violet
Evelyn
Harriet
Hyacinth
Tess
Lydia
Julianna
Clara
Lara
Rosa
Lorna

Love choosing names - let us know which you decide on!

My friend has just named her son Theo. Theodore of course but Theo for short.

thirtysomething.........I have a cousin called Zachary and like the name Zac or Zachary too, forgot to put that on my list!

Oh yeah! Waterfalls that's funny you said that cos you know I said I also liked Amber, a friend said to me, Laura, do you realise all your names are 'happy yellow names' like Sonny Summer Amber??? Weird isn't it I didn't realise till someone said!

Don't forget, it's not just a baby you're naming - it's a future adult. Give him/her a name he/she can live with and one that will 'grow up' with them. Quite a few names sound cute for a little one but are decidedly dodgy for adults!
Also, names can become very 'dated' so you may want to avoid current fads.

Theo, like Theo Huxtible?
