Names - Inspiration for those of us that are struggling - what have you/are you calling yours?

[Hopeitwontbebig]

?

Natalie is lovely (guess what my name is - lol??)

dd1 - Mia
ds - Benjamin
dd2 - Isobel

shortened to Mi, Ben and Issy

i also agree that natalie is most beautiful name
ds1 leotis levi
ds2 darnell delaney
dd1 isobel ocean alana

oh yes i like anna. if ds has been a dd i wanted lily-anna.

i think clara and cleo are pretty too. know 2 sisters with these names.

I have an elliott joseph and a sylvia jeanne

I still don't know - It's such a big decision. The names either don't sound right for one of the playground/boardroom/bedroom tests or else they would have spend their whole life spelling it (which I've had to do and is a real pain!).

Might be easier if I could change the surname!

Taylor

For a boy I like the name Ronseal (although I think his middle names may have to be "does exactly what it says on the tin")

For a girl, Polly (My surname is Filler)

My Daughter's name is Maya Emma. Lots of people pronounce it Mya but it is May then ah. so Maya.
I have only met one other child with the same name and it was weird as they were very similar looking.
I love the fact that her name is quite uncommon. If I had another girl i would call her Lacey and a boy i would call Jay.

I didn't know that was DDs name Allie, did you name her after Sylvia Plath?

DS is named Owen Toby. We thought Owen would not get shortened, though his uncle calls him Owey. If he had been a girl we would have chosen Megan Jade, Which according to a name book, they both meant Daughter.

Our three are Hrold (Harry), Samuel Stirling

Their middle names are Jarvis griffith, Godfrey and Max

Girl would have been bethany (before the corrie baby), Aisha and katie

i am miranda - mimi by friends

I have dts Niall Robert and Adam William but that is using grandfather names as second names.

I also like the name Matthew although it is far too popular and I liked Emil but dh said no, his Anton was vetoed by me! My friend's Spanish cousin is called Raphael which is just so romantic but I don't know how that would fare here, too much influence from turtles of the ninja type. Current likes are: Joachim, Calvin, Christian, Matthias (one way or another dh), Enzo.

For girls, I don't know now. We did like Mercedes but worried people would think we were those kind of people who named their children after vehicles. I still love: Mathilda, Pernille, Camilla, Ines. I add ones all the time.

I also like Alexandra/Alexander but due to not so nice family members having those names we named our dog Alex, so I used it in a way!

wow twoifbythesea what fabulous taste you have

i have never in all my 'name obsessed' years -heard of such silmilar tatse to my own!

I love this site for research Otter. We are hoping to extend our brood next year so I will love writing out my lists again.

There is also a girl called Florence in dts2's class. There you go, another good girls name.

the florence I know is called Florence Mercedes - wow

will check out that site thankyou!

Florence sorry no thats a very old and horriabl name
Mercedes yes thats a lovely name

Florence is a beautiful name - like the City - timeless

Some Mumsnet names are naff and 'horrible' but i would not say so

Florence does make me think of the Magic Roundabout but as a character she could be a good role model (likes animals, is kind and smart etc.!) This Florence at school though has the most gorgeous blonde, fluffy hair so not like MR Florence at all.

So I think names are influenced on who you know with that name.

I wouldn't use Florence though, just like it. Same as I wouldn't use Flora although I like that too.

two floras at our school

I have a Caelan James, but I also considered Finlay, Noah, Isiah, Florian, Sam, Emile, Robin and Rowan. Didn't get very far with girls names, since we knew it was a boy early on, but I like Carys, Anna, Stella, Eden and Evie.
