?

hester for a girl.

Jesse and Pius, the softy twins

We've chosen the name Sophia if it's a girl (due in 4 weeks), but really stuck for a boy's name...we were first time round too, have a soon to be 4 year old dd who's name is Ava. Prob is dh is Italian and tradition in his part of the world is that the child is named after the dh's parents. That would mean my son would be called Luigi - no offense to any Luigis out there but it's NOT happening this time!
I really like Orlando, Dante and Freddie...

dante is lovely.

i like melody too.

My 11 week old is Beatrix. Also know a Spanish friend called her baby Beatriz.

well mine are called
hannah-rose
zak
dean
A J
charlie-ki
danny
and my new one due in july is a boy too we are calling him samuel
i like dante to but at my sons nursery there are 3 of them in the same group called dante they are all either 3 or 4 so that names growing
ive just finished my reaching job and the amount of bens,the name tre and toms were astounding,along with loads of tylers
quite a lot of grace there and molly and 4 lily looks like all the old names coming back
with my new one it was a choice of orlando
samuel,carlos,or dakota,which there are none in the school at all
its so confusing isnt it to give them a nice name as some names just dont suit them as newborns,
good luck with the name choosing

I have a lilly-mae Elizabeth & Kaelyn laura isabelle
If they were boys they would of been Leo ty or Leo Jay and Owain Jacob.
Favourite names now are,
Boys:
Zane, Zakk, Koby, Zachary, Theo, Caleb, Tsacc, Ethan, Cole, Luca, Caden, Saul, Cain and Johnny

Girls:
Kymberlee, Mia, Honour (i love this name, Lottie, Keira, Chelsia, Ruby, Scarlett, Thea, Tegan, Kendal, Marli, Roxie, Amelia, Joley, Ffion, Jasmine, Azara, Katiana, Jorja, Cassidy, Harmony, Lowella, Evany, Savannah and Skye

shona, sine (pron. sheena), shayna, trista, jennifer, io, iolanthe

well.. we have had the same problem and cannot decide still but we are both welsh so think
angharad, ffion, eleri, Nia for a girl
boy
Ifan, ewan, tomos...
but they are veery welsh.. but may help

how are the girl's names pronounced?

We had such a difficult time with names to go with a surname people can rarely pronounce. Our dd1 is Iris Katharine and dc2 (due soonish) has no name - as we can't choose! Like Ivan or Samuel for a boy and Krista or Verity for a girl..........then again we just may call it Bob...like our cat

I have a Freya Rose,Libby Hope and Fraser James.I like names that aren't too common but over the years there seems to be more Freya and Libby's but luckily not so many Fraser's.
Not planning on having any more but love the names.Ava,Martha,Ruby,Alana,Amelia,Jacob,Alfie,and Max.

I have a James Andrew
Caitlin Ruth
Harry David
Charles Stephen Benjamin
and
Molly Jessie

I'm 32 weeks with my third and struggling! We have 2 girls and I think this may well be a girl too.
What do you ladies think of Tabitha (probably shortened to Tabs or Tabby I suppose), Clemmie or Tilly, any favs?
Boys names I'm really struggling with but so far like Finn or Jamie, if Jamie would everyone automatically think of Jamie Oliver and are there loads of Jamies out there?
My 2 girls I have are called Lottie and Rosie so now I'm thinking this one should end in 'ie' too and be an 'old' name rather than modern as wouldn't fit. Any other 'old' name suggestions for either sex??
Thanks!

quinn or avery for boy/girl.

Sorry, 2beautifulgirls, but I hate to see the name Kimberley being spelt Kymberlee like that, and the name Georgia being spelt Jorja. They're such beautiful names why would you change them to that!

I don't like kymberlee either, but i think jorja is actually another way of spelling it officially. like amy, aimee etc

my two are called harmony and faith which i think are diff but not too different but mine is lark an i think that maybe its too unusual

i heard someone calling the name skylar the other day at the park which is quite unusual. can be used for either gender i think.
