    I am biased as i have a Grace, but my other fav is charlotte, it was second on my list for #4, i also like lila.
    I like Ryder but the other boys names are not to my taste.

    Good luck in name choosing, im only ttc, but still trying to get my list together now, lol.
    I cant have Ryder as my last name starts with Ry..... but i do really like it.

    I love Lola...such a cute name.
    For a boy...rider seems to be everywhere at the moment. I like heath or miles.
    have to agree that carson reminds me of the gay guy from tv.

    Lila
    Lola
    Poppy
    Grace
    Phoebe

    Rory
    Miles
    Ryder

    The ones above were on my list back when I was pg with DS.
    Tegan/Teagan there are a few spellings, i know one of each.
    Its a Welsh name so traditionally if you spelled it Tegan it'd be pronounced teggan, but prob. only if you go to Wales
    Choose the spelling you like best!

    I love Poppy, Grace, Zara and Charlotte, and Heath.

    Poppy is what I called my grandfather though, so that would be a bit weird for me.

    what's in a name?

    Be careful not to be seen as a celebrity copier (Lila Grace is Kate Moss' chickadee and Ryder is Kate Hudson's little dude).

    Lola is a lovely name, so is Miles. The rest are either common or bogan - sorry, but I want you to have the best name for your little cherub and am being perfectly honest.

    Just make sure nothing bad rhymes with your choice of name, as he/she may be teased by kids at school in years to come...

    Peace

    Phoebe I used to like but then saw an episode of Charmed in which Phoebe was remembering what kids at high-schol used to call her ("Freebie") and now I dislike it.
    Zara I would forever associate witht he Citroen Szara (not a bad car actually)
    Carson = Carson Kressly...little odd
    Ryder....just...well imagine the teasing! (I can't help it, I automatically imagine each name in the minds of cruel high-school kids)

    Otherwise all good names!

    Thanks everyone! Rory is my one year old though so obviously wont be using that again! Lol. Just wanted to see what ppl thought of it. (I still love it and hve trouble liking anyother boys name as much!)

    Have sort of narrowed it down (not 100% definate yet) to Lola Grace or Zara Grace. But still LOVE Poppy so I dunno.

    If its a boy it will be Nathan Joseph or Joseph Miles. Nathan wasn't on the original list but we both love it.
