    Anyone want to throw some 'normal' names at me?

    So, I've recently realised I have absolutely no ideas for names for #2. DH is no help (I need to come up with lists and he either approves or disapproves - more of the latter really).

    Anyway, DH likes 'normal' names, which he describes as anything he has heard before. I find this difficult as being a teacher I've taught a lot of kids with these names and some names don't have very happy memories for me.

    DDs name is Am elia, so something that suits would be good. I am hesitant to use a other 'A' name - I'd like everyone to have their own initials.

    So, if you'd like to throw some suggestions into the hat feel free. If not, that's fine too. I need both boy and girl ideas.

    Yes, all of the above names are family members, from my grandparents down. Yes, there are even more with not-as-common names, plus some double ups (for example, I have a cousin Natalie on both sides)...

    Thanks for the ideas everyone. It's amazing how Manu of these names are actually in DHs family already! I made a small list using some of these names last night to show DH. He was to picky. I'm gonna sit down and make a longer list soon. Hopefully he likes something! I've only gotten him to 'ok' (that's ok, not love) two names so far; Nicole and Sophie. Too bad if it's a boy lol!

    Just picking more names from here to show DH for our little girl. He is not at all helpful at all with the naming process!
