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

[Hopeitwontbebig]

?

We have Benjamin Christopher and Alice Charlotte.

If DS had been a girl he was going to be Bethany. Still not sure what DD would have been (good thing she was a girl really). Probably would have been William.

I like Imogen (we know one who is known as Immy)
Sophia
Madeleine
Hermione
Harriet

Still can't think of any boy's names .

LieselVentouse - Flora is a beautiful name.

Get the Cool Names For Babies book, only a few ££ from Smiths, really helpful.

Olivia
Harrison / harry
Luke
Joshua

My 19month old dd is Evelyn Boo.

We are hoping for one more. If a boy, we like Lewis Marshall, I like Kieran as well. If we have a girl, we like Lily Rae, I like Gabriella too.

Bit random this and I can't remember where I saw this but I really like Fitz for a boy.

Thoughts? Be honest.

All I've managed to come up with so far that DH and I agree on are Thomas and William which I also really like but Fitz has rarity value.

wasn't there a Mr. Fitz Herbert in Bridget Jones??

its ok actually, maybe you could use it as a middle name?

Isn't Fitz Robbie Coltrane's character's nickname in Cracker? Um, not really a name I think.

It just mean son in Irish doesn't it - Fitzgerald, Fitzpatrick etc

hmm thought i had posted here?
I like Daisy for a girl....not sure on a boys name..but have ages to think!

Liesel - Flora is a great name (slight bias on that one, as it is my name!) And still fairly unusual. Gooooowaaaaan, you know you want it....

Ok, so Fitz conjours images of Mr TitsPervert in Bridget Jones and the hummungous Robbie Coltrane in Cracker.

Back to the drawing board.

We couldn't agree on a boy's name first time around. 100% agreed on a girl's name, Megan Rose, so of course had a boy. 2nd time around 100% certain about boy's name (Mark Peter), couldn't agree on a girl's name (too many Megans around us by then) so naturally had a girl.... Still like those names tho.

We are still agreed on Emmeline Alice for a girl. There are so many beautiful girls names but we are struggling for boy names....

My DD is Anna Mary.
Chose Mary as a middle name after my mum because my middle name is my grandmother's name.

Anne-Marie was on our shortlist.

I know someone whose DD is Cezara Ann (I don't know if she was born by caesarean).

PrncessPeaHead is brilliant at suggesting names!! She suggested Tristan, and we are going with that for our no6 ! Apparently she named Aloha's DD too...though don't know what...Call her over here, she will sort you all out...

Liesel, Flora was the name I wanted for a girl, but DH vetoed it. I think it is gorgeous, just the right mixture of unusual but not pretentious. We are going with Freya for a girl, but I'm worried there are getting to be too many of those around now? I only know of one other at the moment, but it seems like it's getting to be quite popular and I don't want it to suddenly explode into popularity at the last minute!

doyouwantfrieswiththat, my younest sister is named Eloise - and she would have been Dominic if a boy...

Jacob Gareth
Samuel Luke
Ameilia Carys

dss's are
Joseph Micheal
Matthew John

SO, we went for biblical with the boys, ameilia was a name i'd had in my head for years for a girl! or Thalia

tinkjon - Freya went up to 23rd most popular given name in England and Wales in 2006, up 8 places on 2005... so yes, it is "exploding".

Why did your DH veto Flora?

DD-Deanna Eliza Teryl

Second DC will be Mia Courtney or Daniel Carson.

I also like the name Logan for a boy.

Hepzibah or Cuthbert.

doyouwantfrieswiththat - we have a Dominic (first name) and an Eloise (middle name). They are both beautiful names

Hunkermunker - your names are, er, how shall I put it, unusual. I'd call them Pizzy and Cutie. (If I had to.)

BTW I know HM is making them up. I'd never be so rude
