Baby Names!!

[allie5]

Ok, seeing as this forum is full of expectant mums to be :flower: I thought we could share baby names!!

I had a look on a baby name forum for inspiration the other day and there was a rather heated "discussion" about names that are, apparently "Chav"!! I was surprised at some of the so called "chav names" ...Id even picked a few, though I live in chav city itself (Basildon) so maybe its not surprising :rotfl2: .

Apparantly, these names are the chavest of the chav...

Liberty, Jade, Alisha, Chantelle, Crystal, Courtney, Chanel, Tiffany, Demi, Britney...any double barrelled names like "Billie Jo" "Teri-Leigh" "Ellie-Mae" and anything spelt wrong like Kaytee, Jayde, Parys etc etc

Boys..Alfie, Archie, Reece, Harrison, Tyler, Rio, Kai, Jordan, Paris, Roman.

Fortunately, none of these are on my list, but I do like Maddison which is also meant to be "chavvy" (dont care I still like it!!).

My current list is...girls

Maddison, Freya, Rowen, Phoebe or Robyn.

Boys...pretty sure a boy will be William, but in case he doesnt look like a William, then back ups are Finley, Oscar, Lukas and Edward (Teddy).

Would the other pregnant ladies (or non pregnant ones!!) like to share some more ideas as nothing is decided here yet!!

14 weeks!

[FizzyPop]

I like Maddison Thats a lovely name :)
For a Girl....... Teagan
For a boy ......Mckenzie

[Dimplenose]

It depends how "unusual" you want to be. My DD is a Robyn which I thought was unusual but we've met a few. I work at an infant school and we've got a couple of Pheobes and a couple of Finleys. You always know you've picked a popular name when your child comes back from their first day at playgroup with an initial e.g. William A or Katie B.

I don't think you can really choose a name until you actually see your little one. My Ds didn't end up with the name we had chosen because it just didn't suit him

Maddison & William are lovely, Good luck decided exactly which one you are going to go with!

I like a few of them CHAV names too.

We didnt know the sex for a while and we all thought I was carrying a boy,so names I picked out, was Macauley,Harrison,Cory
For girls I struggled, Ashleigh (in the end we opted for), Kaitlyn or Caitlyn, I do like Jade!

As for Billie, Martyns Brother called their wee girl Billie (not liking that at all but each to there own).

Charlie is nice, this is Chelsea's other cousin who is a girl btw (reminds me of charlie and the choc factory) :rolleyes1

[orlando novice]

Its so hard to choose, I have three children
Amelia
Rohan (pronounced Rowan and its a boy)
and Ollie

If ollie was a boy he was going to be called Freya or Esme

don't think Alfie or Roman are chav, but the rest are. Like all your boys but Finley has been done to death.

Good luck it is so hard to choose. I think the classics are always the best, they are never chavvy and they never date.

My 2 daughters are called Amber and Emily.

We decided straight away to call no1 Amber but had real problems naming no2. The names I liked didn't go with our surname - Cassie, Connie, Kyra. Eventually we opted for Emily but I didn't realise at the time it is actually the most popular name for baby girls at the moment.

[JanElliott]

When our eldest daughter was born we named her Lauren. At the time (16 years ago) it was quite unusual, after that everyone seemed to be called it. Our second daughter is called Tian (14). The premises officer at her primary school liked the name so much he called his daughter Tian too, and they are the only two Tian's we know.

[natalielongstaff]

both my two are in the top ten names !!

ellie (eleanor ...on a sunday or when she gets told off :rotfl: ) and matthew

maddison is a lovely name and i also like lucas

[FizzyPop]

I have a:
Hayleigh (daughter)
Morgan (daughter)
Ethan (son)
Kai (son) and apparently a chav name :sad: even though I dont know anyone else called Kai :confused3

[lexie32]

At junior school i was always teased because i had a boys name, Alex so i have always liked girly names so if my ds had been a girl he would be Charlotte Lucy, he ended up a Ben but we didn't decide till we saw him, he could have been a Daniel (Dan) or Oliver ( Ollie)
BTW there seem to be hundreds of Alex's now!

[jockey]

Our names are

Matthew and Rebecca!!

I do like Maddison too!!!

[KayleeUK]

I like Madison, my friends just called her baby that :)

I like for Girls - Eleanor, Jessica and Daisy

I like for Boys - Joseph, Josuha and Samuel

We shall see....... ;)

[Frances999]

We have Alexander, Edward and Millie.

I'm surprised by some of the "chav" boys names..... I quite like Harrison and Kai. I agree that it is difficult to choose a name until you see your child. Then it will be easy :)

:wizard:

[vabeth]

We knew from the scan that we were having a girl, which was good as we couldn't decide on boys names. I'd loved the name Regan since i was a teenager and read an historical romance which had it as the female characters name. So any daughter of mine was always gonna be called Regan. Then Paul Gasgoine gave his Son the name and it totally put me off. I've got nothing against Paul Gasgoine but it just took the shine off it for me!!! It then came down to either Megan or Bethany. When she was born the Midwife turned to me and said she looked like a Bethany so there we have it. My favourite boys names at the moment are Ethan and Finlay and favourite girls names would be Bronte and Emily.

[DisdreamerUK]

Congrats to all you mums-to-be........... :flower:

My 2 DDs are Daisy Ellen (11) and Molly Isabel (9), Daisy is still quite unusual but there are loads of Molly's about.

If they had been boys they would've been Joe and Harry.

If I was crazy enough to have any more kids I like Poppy or Eliza for a girl,
not quite so struck on boys names but something quite traditional like
Henry, Charlie or Ely. :confused3

Jen

[vicky1bfc]

My DD's are called Lauren,i'm suprised that there's only a couple of other Lauren's at her school and Natasha there's quite a few with that name though.

[AlanUK]

I quite like Loughlan :) as a boys name, it can be shortened to lockie. DW things I have an Australian soap opera addiction with this one ;)

I quite like Charlotte for a girls name.

[shellbell]

DD is called Lucy Jade, and Lucy is a very popular name. If i ever have another one, for a girl it would be Meadow and a boy Harrison. (thought i think it would take alot to get DH to agree)

Michelle

[Queenie]

James, Matthew, David, Malcolm, Lee (Malcolm was my dad's name, James was my favourite uncle) I'd only want Malcolm and Lee as middle names. Only problem is that the man in my life's surname is Brown so should a male sproglet ever appear we could end up with James Brown. Of course he refuses to allow that name for his kid for fear of Sex Machine jokes!

I've always struggled with girls names but I like Caitlyn. My middle name is Elizabeth so I'd want that as my daughter's middle name too (this is also the case with Lee - that's Scott's middle name.)

[Englands Disney Gang]

I must be SO boring...we have two boys and picked their names without a problem!!

Tom (age 13)

Sam (age 7)

I did not want to get names that can be shortened and I wanted them to spell their names easy....problem is Sam gets Sammy all the time and Tom gets Tomo....so it never did work!!

[Hilary]

If I'd had a boy, I always wanted a Joel, but DH was not at all keen - maybe it's lucky we had two girls!

Eldest DD is Rhian - we'd never heard it before our neighbours had their DD, but when she started school there were lots of Rhians! It's always a source of puzzlement in the US as no-one seems to be able to get to grips with the silent 'h'. She's okay here in Wales, but elsewhere people often think it's either Ryan or Ree-Ann :rolleyes:

Youngest DD was Alice for a day or two until we decided it just didn't suit her, so we changed it to Amy. Lots of those around too :)

Like so many have already said, it's difficult to decide until you actually see them. Have fun choosing :flower:

[wils]

It's been interesting reading this thread - we are currently undecided on Baby's name!

Last time round was easy as we both liked Molly and in fact she was 'Molly' before she was conceived! We didn't know any Mollys so we weren't worried that she wouldn't look like one. The only objection was from my mother who used to know a Mollie who she didn't like (we ignored that as it would probably have been the case whatever name we'd picked (my mother doesn't like a lot of people!!)) In the event we were pleased to have a name as she went straight to SCBU (only for 26 hours as thankfully there turned out to be nothing wrong) as at least I felt she had an identity when she was on her own.

This time we, at the moment, have Craig (left over from last time) and Louise both of which we like but we're not sure - It's such a responsibility!

Jo

[carolfoy]

It took me ages to think of a girls name I liked, couldn't think of one at all so its good I had a boy, when I was pregnant there wasn't another Callum around at all (except for george bests kid) but by the time Callum Mackenzie Foy joined us there were loads!!

[T16GEM]

DH and I have had major disagreements about what to call our little one, luckily we had a name for a girl but not for a boy - good job she is a girlie then! :)

The boys names that I liked were:

Jay - DH was ok with this one
Sam - DH didn't like I thought it was a nice strong name
Tom - DH didn't like this one either, I did though

I'm not going to tell you what name we have picked eventually for her though *** my relatives sometimes browse the DIS and it's a secret until she is born.

I must say though that we do like Jessica and Rosie.

[wilma-bride]

Favourite name for a girl is Eleanor (Ellie). Also like Grace and Sinead (must be the Irish rubbing off on me :) )

For boys, I really like William (we were going to call our DS that but with a surname like Alcock, it's just asking for trouble :rotfl: ). He ended up with Daniel, which has really grown on me and I now love the name. Also, I like Connor and Luke for boys.

My youngest DD is called Rhiannon - she has since told me she likes her name because no-one else has it. Eldest DD is Sian, which used to be quite rare but think there are now another 3 Sian's in her school.

[cabmom]

May I join?

I have 3 boys, Connor 9, Aaron 7 and Brett 5. Our #4 boy is due the end of November. So we are going with a D name, to keep with a, b, c, d. We like the name Dean, Dane, Declan, and Devon. I'm pretty keen on Dean! :teeth: However, my husband and Aaron like Devon, and I've always loved the name Declan and so does Brett. Connor really wanted a girl, so he's not chosen which name he likes best. Because my husbands background is Irish, I would have preferred a D name that was Irish. Do any of you have any suggestions for that?
We go with 2 middle names for our children, so the middle names will probably be Alan, Robert.

My youngest DD is called Rhiannon - she has since told me she likes her name because no-one else has it. Eldest DD is Sian, which used to be quite rare but think there are now another 3 Sian's in her school.
My DD2 is Caroline Rhiannan. DD1 is Catherine Angharad and Ds is Jonathan Owain. All three middle names, as well as Sian, are Welsh.

[Clare D]

My son is a Joseph but is known as Joe or Joe-Joe - by his nursery friends.

In the future for boys I like
Etienne - French for Stephen (DH's name) DH hates this too
Archie
Finley - DH hates this

For Girls
Madeline (Maddy)
Amelie - French for Amelia

[Muppet]

There are some beautiful names suggested.

I have no little ones but names I like are Scarlett and Finlay.

Howere when we got the puppy I wanted to call him Kobe but apparently this is the name of a famous porn star :rotfl2: I was thinking Kobe Bryant - basketball player.

I wonder how Nic know that LOL :rotfl:

[TotallyAngelic]

My DD is Taryn Jade and DS is Daniel Stuart (Dan). If I were to have another one then I like the female names Lily Frances or Kiaya Rose, and the boys name Joseph (Joe) or James (Jamie), but I also like Charlie. Good job I'm not having any more as it would be a very difficult decision.

[Ware Bears]

I have no little ones but names I like are Scarlett and Finlay.
:

One of my DD's has Scarlett as her middle name.

[Hodkys]

:wave:

We have a DS called Alex (just Alex) Owain. He'll have to reply to being asked his name and say "just Alex".
DH and I went on our first WDW trip in July 2000 - we went for 3 weeks as we knew we would be trying for kids and so we thought it might be some time before we went back. We bought a wooden nameplate: ALEX whilst at AK. We have a photo of the 2 of us outside AK with the Disney bag with the nameplate inside. We knew that if we had a girl or boy we would call him/her Alex.

BTW - we went back with Alex in June 2003 (he was 22 months) and then Dec 2003. We are due to go back 29/12 - 7/1. So much for not going back for a while.

We're thinking of sorting out some company for Alex and the names we like are:

Girl's Names: Niamh, Evelyn, Frances
Boy's Names: Evan, Iwan or spelt Euan/Ewan
:umbrella:
