kobe and hudson for a boy

kenya, briar and ripley for either.

so as long as they use their middle name initials they will keep their post private

If I ever have a girl I would like

Havent trawled through all posts but so far havent seen the name we like.
Our little newborn will be called Fleur.

DS is Fred

Number 2 (on the way) is going ot be:

• Bill
• Syd
• Lucy
• Edie (love Edie, but not too sure about Edith..hmmm)

i don't think giorgio or billy have been mentioned for a boy.

my cousin's just had a baby called emille. i think that's lovely. she's proud to be a bit of a chav so was pleasantly surprised when she picked such a lovely name.

emilie

i do like emil for a boy though. and the name it comes from - Aemilius

and from another thread ciara, ione and keziah (kizzy), eliza (pron e-lie-za) and elisa (e-lee-za), chiara (italian version of clara), mila (short for amelia/emilia), clair, sorrel, dorothea (dot), theodora, marianne/marianna/marian, alexandra, verity, araminta, aminta, lilith, elspeth, rosalie, paulina/paula, elewyn for a girl.

casey/kasey, sacha or rowan for a boy or a girl.

mateo, rudi or sonny for a boy.

there's an MNer naming hers myrtle

it made me think of marcus, marshall and mars for a boy.

We had settled on Hamish for a boy. I wanted Flora for our DD when she was born because she was all pink and curled-up like a little spring flower, but DH couldn't get past the margarine thing.

I also wanted Ursula because her fuzzy black hair made her look like a little bear cub, but it's only a lovely name if it's pronounced Ur-soo-la, not Ur-shula. I think I may still have been a bit stoned from the epidural when I suggested it.

When I was pregnant I lobbied heavily for Yael but husband said it's too Jewish to give to a 100% Anglo-Saxon/Celtic baby and sounded ridiculous with our McSurname. I did a poll among our Jewish friends and sadly they all sided with him. Mind you, DH suggested Noor. Yael Noor would have had a very balanced view on Palestine.

I've kept the name list we drew up. It'll be interesting to look at it when she's 16 and see if I can imagine her as a Yael or an Ursula. When we really couldn't agree we added some pretty out-there options so I can show it to her and say look, darling, aren't you pleased we didn't call you Aida? (only because she would have spent her life explaining it's Ai-eda, not I-da).

aida is lovely though for a girl. i like noor too actually . it can be used for either sex too. is yael prononced how it is spelt? if so you have another fan here.

I didn't know that about Noor - I thought it was just a girls' name.

Yael is Ya-el (it should have a diarisis over the e but I don't think I have one on this keyboard).

I also had Juno on my list from the moment I peed on the stick back in early summer, but then that bloody film came out and I thought bugger, cult film, it'll be the new Amelie.

i would pronounce it yale .. is that right?

also like lydia and nikita for a girl.

i like that but prefer it spelled annabelle. also like arabella.

I like Arabella, have a friend called Arabella but we call her Bella.

bridget, nina, althea, seraphina, drusilla, gabriella, dolores, zula, valda, valencia, guinevere, kaimana, virginia, ginny, ellen, helen, eleanor, susan, elewyn, elspeth are all nice girl's names.

phoenix, ash, li are nice for either i think.

nora, josephina, tasha, tania, charlotta, carlyn, kaia, pippi, cecilia, celina, celina are all good for girls too.

i like ronnie for either - shortened from veronica for a girl or ronald or ronaldo for a boy.

canaan for a boy is nice too.
