We have sooooo many gorgeous girls names but NO boys names at all - had same problem with ds2 and 3
we have one girl name just in case we are ever lucky enough to use it as for boys absolutely nothing....
ds1 we went through all the names we liked and chose
ds2 i didn't want a reject name from ds1 so armed with numerous books we looked at everything we hadn't considered last time.
ds3 gutted he was a boy and had no names at all - we let ds1 choose, once we persuaded him against mario (super mario) he picked one we both quite liked ish but it suits him and he did a better job than we were managing!
if this is a boy - no idea - Ds4 is looking promising for now although i think the naming lady might have a problem with that!
My back up boy name has always been Charlie - in case we thought of nothing we like better but i'm not very keen on it and my dads dog had that name so always make me think of a labrador!
What ideas do you have for either?
Girls we have loads - a few we both like - a few only I like and a few only james likes !!!
We have always had Amy since 2003 when we found out we were expecting ds1. still both like it.
I like Sidney (sydney) charlotte, emily, faye, erin sydney and Erin are my favourites
James likes Lily, Amber, Lexi, Beau
We both like Amy and Amelie ( could be Amy for short)
Boys DS 1 was always going to be a charlie or Oliver and we changed our mind the week before he was due.
DS2 never had a name until i was in labour and DH came home from football talking about another player called Ellis and it stuck in my head so we went with that
DS 3 was always going to be Finley or Finlay but when he was born i decided it didnt suit him so we settled on Liam and the other boys chose his middle name ( Thomas ) - after thomas the tank !!!
I think if its a 4th boy I will have no choice but to name it James after DH as he was names after his dad James who was named after his dad James so there is DH, FIL, DH grandad all with the name james so kind of makes me feel we need to carry it on but I dont like the name.... BUT if there is no other name i like either it might just have to do.
I also like Stephanie but its too long we prefer shorter names that cant really be shortened to nicknames we dont like.
Theodore Raymond is my babies name :-)
I think its easier to come up with girl names, we had Lexie for my first pregnancy but i lost that one and it didnt seem right to use it again, its a beautiful name though i was happy to see Lexi on your list :)
SD1 and SD2 are Lillian and Sophie, such common names i had to name our daughter something really unusual so she is named Asta.
DP has a name beginning with A also so we are going to give our baby a C name like me, for a girl we like Cian and for a boy we like Cyrus.
Ours is Aubree! Middle name Cassandra! :) hehe we've had aubree picked since before we were even trying!

It's funny, I have a hard time with girls names but I know exactly what boys name I want, well, first name at least. I love Theodore! I would want to call him Teddy. How funny that you have picked Theodore for your ds, Rosie. It's not very popular (at least I don't think). What part of the world do you call home? I haven't heard of any little Theodores (or Teds or Teddys or Theos) around me. I am thinking of Theodore Harry or possibly Theodore Harrison to honor my mom's father who passed away when she was 9. All of my boys have significant middle names, and I haven't namesaked anyone from my mom's side, so I want to give her a turn. The only problem is, DH is not a fan. Other names we have considered are Samuel, Charles (Charlie) and Miles.
As far as girls go, I really try not to even go there because I need to be mentally prepared to hear boy, and I really don't want to entertain the possibility and get my hopes up. But in the past, we have liked Amelia Grace, Eliza Jane, Sara Jane, and Anna Julia. I think Anna Julia is my favorite, because Anna was my great-grandmother's first name and Julia was my grandmother's middle name, and dh had an aunt named Julia how died a few years ago. However, all of those names have been pulled out and considered 3 times now, so they all feel kind of "old" to me. Other girls names I like that dh has shot down are Charlotte (which I think is too popular now, anyway), Josephine, and Rachel.
