    9 weeks to go and no names!

    Help!!

    I have about 9 weeks to go (but DD came early so I may have less) and I have NO NAMES! Yes, none! No boys names and no girls names.

    DP and I like more traditional style names that are not necessarily common or overused eg. our DD is Genevieve Claudia

    If it is a boy the middle name will be David or John, depending on the first name. The surname is 2 syllables starting with B and ending with N (like Bradman)

    So, any suggestions???

    I saw in a different post this website called nymbler - you put in the sort of names you like and it brings up similar ones. We've got just over 2 weeks to go and still havent really decided on names but I'm not so bothered as my mum and dad kept renaming my sister for the first month - i'm pretty usre she had about 6 different names!

    Wrote a big post and lost it!

    Jonathan David (mixes both your names)
    Edward John

    Nicola Jane
    Clare Bernadette
    Bethany Kate

    I think you need a longer name to go with Genevieve. I love Genevieve and Jonathan, or Genevieve and Nicola/Bethany.

    I'm not even going to bother posting a single name, as there are SOOOO many good ones in there. If these posts don't give you any ideas, I don't know what will?

    Good luck.

    Adele, Annabelle, Arabella (my fav at the moment), Charlotte, Clarisse, Helena (always loved this), Lavinia, Lorinda, Lorelle (my name), Louise, Lucy, Sophia, Piaf, Terese (my Mum's fav) .... sorry i never had any boys names either luckily we had a daughter to save us a huge headache, LOL

    P.S - My Mum loved the name Genevieve that much that she named her cat it, ... but then she named her dogs Michael and David ... Mum's a big believer if you love the name & have no more children why not name your pets it !!
