Baby names
in General chat
It's been so quiet on here lately.. and I could do with some help thinking of baby names for Sproglet..
We don't know if they are a boy or a girl.. My surname is Bamford and we have the middle name Rose for a girl (after my grandma) or Michael or David as middle names for a boy, not sure which yet (my cousin or my poppa)..
At the moment top of our list for girls is Imogen, Maegan, Niamh, Isabel or Chloe
and for boys - Sebastian, Dylan or Finn
What do you guys think?? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi Lucy - I'm guessing there's a celtic connection there somewhere?
We're going through the same process, my oh is Irish, my fam is Scottish / Austrian, so have come up with some of the same names!
I love the names Dylan and Niamh, I don't know many of them around so they shouldn't find too many others.
We've already decided - Finbar Ian for a boy, and Ròs Ailish for a girl. What do you think?
Finns and Roses all round!

they are lovely names cat, jacks name was set in stone from when i was 20wks but lola was decided in central delivery lol, and i got to add grace as i did the two pregnancies and earnt it!!!
Lucy i really like dylan and finn and meagan and isabell.
some ideas my mum always wanted twin boys benjamin and thomas! i think they sound nice together but theres alot of thomas about here. girls my other names were megan, laila, laurie, lilah and charlotte but i named my sister that so had to be lola lol! and if lola had been a boy shed have been Max alexander, had jack been a girl emily lillian grace.
Good luck, i loved choosing names can be a minefield though, jack is after both his grandmas jacqui! anthony, andrews dad, and ward, my grandad whereas lola ellen grace, only ellen has roots its mine, my grandmas, great grandmas, her mum etc etc middle name, name! and im not popular for only having my side in her name, but that was the name that fitted.
i love DYLAN for a boy or girl
i also like TYLER for boy or girl
i always knew i would have a baby boy called COBY from when i was about 14yrs old so i had a list so long of girls names

hehe theya re all lovely, im biased though, as i have a niamh rose!!!
i love the irish names ( im irish too) but it was actually my hubby who wanted to go with the celtic names.
good luck choosing one

I find names really hard as certain ones make me think of ertain kids. For example I love Dylan as a name but have two horrors called that so it would put me off.
Love Chloe for a girl though, I taught a girl called Chloe Bamford last year!
Actually there's nightmare in Erin's class called Dylan.He has a younger brother called Tyler who's not any better.Harry was going to be Niamh if he was a girl.Matilda's middle name is Rose.
Can't remember where I saw it,but there's a baby name site with a random baby name selector.Vaguely amusing,had a play on that when pg with Matilda.Can't remember how it works,you must have to put some info in,sorry mind like sieve.
thank you ladies! will have a chat with shawn and see what he thinks.. am sure we'll be changing names every five minutes! might have look for that random names website Jo, know what having a brain like a sieve is!
my favourites at the mo are imogen and dylan, but i know shawn's pretty keen on sebastian for a boy so we'll see..
Morning Lucy,
I do like the name Sebastian for a boy as well as George and Edward.
For a girl I do like Florence (James wouldn't even consider it), also Imogen and Freya.
Happy choosing!!!!
Thoes are some lovely names for boys and girls. My sisters little girl was going to be a chloe rose but she couldnt settle on it and the set with Libby-rose.
When me and adi got together we used to joke about baby names(having 3sisters etween us that seemed constantly preggers)it all we did,we both agreed on our names and stuck with it,Riley was going to be a Riley no matter what. We both like Melina for a girl but i also like Felicity.
i love felicity, but my auntie had that shortlisted, although i think felicity whittaker whould have been a bit of a mouthfull, she has william and edward instead! Really like the nickname flic its soo cute!
One name andrew was dead set against was alfie, and i loved it! and Leo, that was one of the choices for jack but andrew backed out as someone said oh your naming him after his starsign!!!
Alfie's always going to be the film for me,or all the teenage Mum's screaming it at their kids down the highstreet.Alfie Moon too.
I'd love to use a family name for ours,but my Grandads were called Rupert and Ernie.Don't think he'd thank me.
Melaena is the medical term for a 'tar stained stool'.. ie if you've had an internal bleed and your poo is full of blood.. one of the Gastroenterology registrars in a hospital I was a student name had it as her first name and I felt very sorry for her poor girl!
We did love the name Lana Rose for a girl, until my cousin's friend whose name is Lana, pointed out that it was a good name until you have the conversation about what your name spells backwards..
I am coming round to Sebastian for a boy - apparently in South Africa the shortened name is Tian, rather than Seb, which I think is quite cute.. will have to wait and see..
Don't think you can shorten any of ours,but Harry used to be called Bean(since he was as big as)Bridie was Miss Moo(not sure how/why)Erin was Pootle(the third Flump child)Arthur used to call himself The Little Gentleman(AKA Jekyl cos Mr Hyde can visit in seconds).Arwen's Whirly(mad on a good day curly hair)Matilda is Fatty,Fatty Matty,Tilda or Tildababy
Oh,really bad name,my sister was in primary school with a boy called Randy Love.
LMAO - Randy Love??? !!!!
What were his parents thinking of....
main reason i was called laura was because mum didnt want it shortened, but im called lolly, lozziey jynx, lozz, lau and munchkin (my uncle who im now 3inches taller than) my uncle loves silly nicknames he calls his boys rabbit and chicken my cousins beve bubba and tweaky my sister is button lol!
My little sister Lucy was Lollipop.
Hmm,favourites?
I was always "The expensive luxury"
Not sure if it was a compliment or a complaint...
