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

?

Its actually an old Germanic name. Or you may find the character in some of Wagner's opera stuff. Or born free. I just love the name so much. Since I was a little girl

Thanks Nappyaddict

we've choosen Kieran Andrew if we have a boy, but very undecided about girls names.

I like Amelia-Jayne but DH likes Charllote (not sure of spelling). We have also got a few maybe's like Bethnany, or Paige. Another name i really like is Rhiannon, as i knew a girl at school called that, but would worry that i would always think of her if i called my own daughter that!

lucienne is the feminine version of lucien isn't it?

It's Charlotte, and thats a lovely name. I like Bethany too. My friend's sister named her baby Amelia and she's absolutely lovely

Good luck picking a girls name MissVicki.

Didn't know there was a female version of Lucien it is quite nice but again doesn't wow me (sorry MNer whovere you are) I think I am looking for too much, I like a lot of names but not enough to call my baby them IYSWIM

i like lilac for a girl and have just been intoduced to unisex name blue. not sure how i feel about that one though.

Sweet kitty, we called ds2 Elliot and I must say I've gone off it We all call him Eli (pron. Ellie!). DS1 is Fraser and I still love it! I was never sure about Elliot, so I think you've got to love it from the outset and not be persuaded. I still think Elliot is a nice name but it's not easy to say iyswim.
I'm thinking Gabriel for db3 assuming it's another boy! I shall trawl here for girl's names later.

I have read every single name in this thread and I still can't say that I have any inspiration. I always thought my first child would be called Sebastian or Elizabeth, but now it's actually going to happen we've dropped Sebastian even though my partner quite liked it.

All I've got is Elizabeth (Lizzie) or Charlotte (Lottie) at a push, and for a boy it's Joseph, although I really like Dexter (but a bit put off as he's a conciencious (sp!) murderer in that new tv program! )

There are some other names I like but I just don't get that spark - I like Holly, Scarlet, Poppy, and I absolutely adore Holly-Blue but it's a friend of the family's name so I can't take that.

is there anything in particular you want the name to mean? what about rae for a girl? or bo/beau/boo for either a boy or a girl?

DS - George stephen
DD - Eleanor Grace

eleanora?

I have a Bobby and an Ella, and am having either Alexander/Liam for a boy and Clara/Leah for a girl this time round.

indigo for a boy/girl?
violet/cyan/azure for a girl?

ace or edison for a boy?
agatha/aggie for a girl?

just talking to someone on msn who likes:

chi for a girl or che for a boy
aurora, belle, bella, sakura, spring, autumn, winter, china, america, bonnie, antonia (toni) for a girl
washington or gray for a boy
paris and shelby for either

oh and italia for a girl.

i quite like etienne, othello (otto) and romeo for a boy too and sydney, asia or paisley for a boy or a girl.

The latest addition to our (extended) family is called Romeo.

Whats with all the colours nappyaddict?
My cat is called Chi.
It's a ridiculous name for a child.

nappyaddict - oh, and little Romeo's mother is called Azure

Dear all,

We have chosen Emily Mirium for a girl and Aidan for a boy.

someone on a different thread has come up with devon, cheyenne and cherokee that can be for a boy or a girl.

beverley or augusta for a girl?

jordan?

renee for a girl or rene for a boy?
