Girl: Tess
Boy: Joey
Girls: Beatrix and Georgiana for me, H is stuck in the 70's with Katherine and Rachel. I don't think we're going to get to any compromise soon
Boys: Nathaniel for me, Raphael for H. We'd agreed on Reuben for a boy this time. I'm gutted we won't get to use that now.
I don't like any girls names that I'd consider using but my fav boys is Edward / Teddy / Ted
H doesn't discuss names.
Belle my friends LO is Ted (not a shortening, he'd just Ted, sometimes Teddie, I love it!)
My h doesn't usually but he's v broody and said o iv not told u the boys name I want...Icarus... I was like erm
Wtf! Lol
The ones I like that h has said are definately not happening are
Boys: Arthur, Felix
Girls: dulcie, belle
I love Eli and Ethan for boys and Nell and Willow for girls
H doesn't have any major favourites i don't think..!
I currently love Delilah for a girl and Oscar for a boy!
H never really talks names, but i know he wanted Caitlin for E
If we were to ever have a 3rd i'd be pushing for either Scarlett, or Ruby for a girl
For a boy i'd like Lewis
My H doesn't have an opinion. He's happy to go with what I like/want. (I chose J's name, including his 2 middle names)
Girl - Brodey. I always loved Darcey (was my girls name of choice when pg with J) but glad I didn't get to use it, as it has become far too common now.
Boy - Brodey.
Kinda sad we're not having another, i'd love to use this name.
No idea :-/ If my 3rd is a girl I will struggle big time.
We've currently agreed Rosie for a girl and Seth for a boy.
H has vetoed Constance/Connie and Sylvie for a girl which I love and he's proposed Jessica instead, which I'm not keen on.
I love Ted/Teddy for a boy but again, H was against it. He would name a boy after any of his current favourite Spurs players if I let him
Popcorn my h named most of the man city team for all of our children
O I forgot I really like Seth too [adds to list]
Didn't Teddy Sheringham play for Spurs?!
After talking H out of naming a boy after various rock stars we have decided on 2 names
Boy - Dexter James
Girl - Annabelle Jane.
Now I'm torn. I could use this to get my way and suffer the consequences of H telling everyone that our son is named after an ex-Spurs player.
I think I might stick with Seth...!
LP- I too have had the pleasure of talking H out of naming children after various rock stars!
Top ouf our list at the minute;
Boy- Cooper
Girl- Zara
I love Erin for a girl but H hates it due to the old 'I used to know an Erin and they were horrid'. <sigh>
My 2 boys share their names with American "rock stars", although weren't named after them.
What were his suggestions?
Currently for a boy Arthur is the ultimate front runner. It's the only one we both love. For a girl Eva and Ivy are top of the list. H loves scrlett but i really don't. We might comprimise and use it as a middle name at some point though.
I doubt I'll ever get to use mine now but the most recent ones we had were Olive and Jude. I still love the name Roman but H wasn't having any of it.
