Do you think about names??
Hi girls,
Thought it might be quite nice to see what everyone thinks about names? We are always concentrating on the ttc bit but I know I think about baby names all the time!! Do you have any favourites? Do you have a family name that is special?
Would be lovely to hear your thoughts.........I'll go first
Boys:

but find girl's names more difficult to choose as don't have any nice family ones to choose from.
Girl - Tabitha
Boy - Alexander
But my boyfriend hates Tabitha, so we have compromised on.
Boy - William or Edward
Girl - Lucy or Lily
How do you pronounce the 1st and 3rd of your girls names? My step sister's name was Catriona (similar).
There's some lovely names listed so far from you all. My list might grow longer!!
3rd aine - pronounced onya - is irish for anne.
I really like tabitha too but I wouldn't be allowed it either, I've already suggested scarlett and that's been vetoed!
jonny is nice too! I like all your names mrs hopeful, we must have similar taste! I like rebekah baby monkey, I think benjamin and harriet match the names you already have best. hmm difficult to choose names when you've already used up 5, but there are lots of lovely traditional names to choose from.
For a boy we both like Aaron and I also like Adam and Aiden
For a girl we both like Amy, April and Alice but I wouldn't want people saying "Alice Alice who the f**k is Alice"
Also Amy might be a bit short since our surname only has 3 letters! Funny how we both really like names beginning with A - both my husband's name and mine begin with A. Is that a bit weird? Also is it weird to name a girl April if she isn't born in April?
I like heidi or Elizabeth (Lizzy) for a girl and Chester or Gilly for a boy. My grandfather was Gilbert and Chester is the leed signer of some rock band my DH likes!!! Elizabeth is my mums middle name and i just like heidi!

Eva is really lovely too, Sep2612 and so is Theo, lulabellarama.
Although I don't have any children, I have five nieces and nephews and their names are;
Annabella (Annie) Mae
Amy May
William Kirk
Thomas William
Millie Laura
Debbiemc - i love Michael - its such a strong name! Its my sons middle name too!
We like Claudia for a girl (obviously!), or Eliza, and for a boy we like Joseph. We already have 5 children between us so we've used a few of the nicer ones already!
I prepare the register for a local school, and you should see some of the names we get through! They really make me laugh ... i wish i could add some really but i may well offend someone!
I don't think I would be offended if someone didn't like the name I had chosen. If we all liked the same names then it would be very boring!!!
Helping hand.......names I would definitely NOT choose......

!!!!!!!! Sorry...???
Sometimes it just the spelling of a pretty name that then makes the name look different, such as Emilia - a lovely name, but then written as Emmilleah......
