I'm 19+1 so have lots of time to decide on names i know, it's just that it is too hard! I have heaps of naming books, have trawled my way through every baby name website that exists, listened to other peoples suggestions and still think there all pretty vile! I don't want a well known, common name that when it's said in a classroom - 5 kids all turn round at the same time. But at the same time i don't want something so obscure it makes people go - you what?? And a lot of old fashioned names are now coming back 'in', and i don't like these either! Also don't like any family names or biblical names as im not religious in any way. So when all this is taken into account, i cant ever find a bloody name i like!
How the hell do people name their kids nowadays? I'm killing myself trying to find any i like, let alone one i want to call my baby. I mean, it's a serious decision isn't it? The child has to live with it for the rest of his/her life, it's making my head spin. Has anyone else had this much difficulty naming their children, or coming up with names? And does anyone know where a good place to find names is?

I agree there were loads of names that I loved but my husband hated almost all of them.
