Lets share Name ideas !!!

I have no idea what we will call this little one if it turns out to be a boy, we have had a girls name since we started swaying but really struggled to name ds3. In the end ds1 chose ds3's name which grew on me and now does suit him. I remember telling dh if this is another boy we'll have to christen him ds4 as i have no idea.

When we told the boys we were pregnant, two days later ds1 came home and said it will be a little boy and we should call him oliver, which i do quite like (although my head keeps singing the oliver twist thing!).

Oh well three days til we know for sure :nails:. Just in case, anyone got any nice traditional boy names

Another name on the list is Miles. I love Julian for a middle name because my grandma's middle name was Julia.

I haven't given a great deal of thought to girl's names because I am trying not to get my hopes up that I will actually have the chance to use one. Right now, I like Iris or Margaret (Maggie) with Julia as the middle name. Margaret is the name of one of my great aunts as well as my great-grandmother, and dh's grandmother's middle name was Martha, so I feel it kind of honors that, too. The problem with Iris is I'm not sure about a nickname, and it has to have a nickname, lol. But I probably don't have to worry about it.

Jenna-Oh my Gosh! I think you've got great taste. We're having a girl and DH and I have always wanted to name her Margaret (Maggie). It was my grandmother's name, so it's got some history but that's not why we love it. We just love the nickname 'Maggie'. If this had been our 3rd boy, I was really rooting for "Leonard" and we'd have called him either Leo or Lenny for short. Can't wait to see what you have, and which name you choose!

Mrs.P, 3 days! Eeeeek. I'm very excited about your next scan!

I really have a hard time with boy names!! Im originally from hungary and hubby is irish so we wanted to find name which have in both countries and we like it too... not easy lol. Ds1 is Patrick I really like this name. When we found out Ds2 is a boy I really had a hard time finding a name I like.. about weeks before due date finally decided on Mark :) Its suits him really good. With girl names I find it much easier I have a couple which i really like, but my favorite is Emily, so if I ever will have a daughter thats going to be her name. But also like Lilly, Millie, Leanne, Grace, Molly, the list is endless lol. If we have another boy I really have no idea for name lol I dont really like any, but Jack isnt too bad. I cant even make up a list which to choose from as I dont like any lol
I asked hubby yesterday if he was thinking about names yet.. he said NOOO and not for another couple of months grr he thinks its too early :worry:

We have 10 girls names we both LOVE and not one single boys name !!
We were thinking James ( hubby and his dads and his great grandads name ) I hate it but after 3 boys already maybe i should just give in !! ha ha
Jacob ( dh doesnt like Jake )
Other than that there is nothing - we really really struggled with all 3 boys names and this one will be no different.

Have you thought about calling him Jamie? My ds3 is James, but we call him Jamie and I love it!

Jamie was my ex before my husband whom I was with for 10 years so I dont think that would go down too well as a suggestion :-)

uggg i don't like most boy names either and should really start thinking as our last 2 didn't have a name for a week+ after they were born lol

Mrs.P, what's your girl's name? You said you've had a girls name set aside since you began swaying, I'm just curious-what is it?

I like James and its cute he'd be named after his dad (hopefully its a girl and it won't be needed) but if not why not consider it for a middle name, make him happy.

I like James Henry but my SIL named her little boy Jamie so not something we could use now

ps what are your girl names mum23?
