Help me name my baby....

Topics

Ells

.....kinda!

I'm stuck for names for the baby. Yes, it's a little early but I need time to get used to the name and persuade my partner to go along with it.

So far I haven't found one I really LOVE but am swaying towards Mason although I'm not sure it fits with my surname.

I'd like some help from you lot. What's a nice name to you? Are my shortlist names awful?

Boys:

Mason

Kyle

Brody (although not too sure about this one)

Girls:

Maddison

Abigail (Abbie)

Amber

Leila

And I will add to the thread as we go along and see if we can find a name for this baby before it's born!

Just to add... I'm not too keen on very traditional names like George, William, James. Alice, Susan, Mary etc as although they are nice, they just aren't what I am keen on.

I also don't like names like Chardonay, Mercedes, Octavia, Rooney, Apple, Moondust, Pilot Inspektor or anything too out there.

(I hope I haven't offended anyone with those names.....they're just not my taste)

ROFl @ Pilot Inspektor

I like Mason and Kyle, and the four names for a girl.

I dunno Sprout, Mason..... not 100% sure on it but the middle name will be Michael (after my Dad) so I think that makes it a little easier on the tongue.

Kyle is actually a name that is already in the family but I just feel like saying so effing what? It's not like 2 cousins can't have the same name, especially when their families aren't close.

Yeah, I think that works

I like Ava for a girl or Hermione, I didn't think Aimee could be shortened but we've all seen it can be

everyone calls her AIms except me I call her Aimeeee as it's meant to be pronounced (if you get what I mean, it's got that little dash above the first E, I can't think what it's called at the minute

)

Machel....were they related??

Yogi, the guy from My Name Is Earl actually called his son Pilot Inspektor!

Sprout, Grace is a lovely name but it is the middle name of my newest niece and my sister would have a hissy if I even dared!

Rog, Kyle seems to have the reputation of being chavvy on some of the forums I've been on too.

I like Mason too, but I'm not sure it goes with .... either somehow. I think because when I say 'Mason' I start singing 'Nathan' in my head.

An 'acute'.

I like the name Ava too, it's lovely.

Boys names seem harder to choose. Girls can sometimes get away with a more unusual name but imagine the abuse your kid would get if you named him Thor or Norbert.

Ava is out for me because my cousin has named her baby that and it's not even worth the argument if I did the same!

I love Mallory for a girl but it makes me think of Enid Blyton's Mallory Towers so we'll scrap that one

You should go for it Ells.... and if he stays out too late when he's older you can call him and say 'Mason, you been gone too long'' and reminisce about this thread...

Cut to the chase and call him Nathan, Ells. Me and Kaffs will sing it at his christening for you. Won't that be nice?

(I'm a .... too - I feel your pain). It's a good excuse to go for a different or more individual name though

Keeping up wih the ....

And I had thought Nathan was an ok name. It's a definite no now tho.

It's funny how things like that can put you right off a name.
