Why am I so awkward?!

[pippi_89]

Sorry to post again ladies but.....
Up until last week I was pretty set on Benjamin or Eleanor/Elena, but now I suddenly really dislike both!! I don't remember it being this hard to find a name. Every time we had two or three for each gender picked out by 20 weeks, then decided pretty much straight away once we knew. We have 20 weeks scan in 11 days and I've got nothing!

I know we have plenty of time really but I'm getting frustrated! Could everyone PLEASE throw as many names as possible at me?!
We're looking for traditional names with more modern nicknames, which we use every day.

My List
Alice
Abigail
Elizabeth
Eva
Alexandra

His List
Eleanor
Aurora
Elliot

We already have Isabella, Amelia and Oliver (Izzy, Mia and Ollie)

Love all your names - feel you've got similar taste to me. A couple of extras I love:
Evelyn -shortened to Evie
James - Jimmy or Jamie
Think both of these fit with the names of your other children too
Would consider Elliot a lovely name for either boy or girl.

Are you finding out what you're having? Could help narrow down your choices. Good luck xxx

We had the same idea for our girl name. We were going to go with DH's grandmother's name, Lucille, and call her Lucy for short. We are still holding onto that name in case baby #3 happens to be a girl.

OH doesn't like Evelyn/Evie. Love Jimmy! I'll mention it. I actually quite like Elliot for a boy but he only likes it for a girl.

We are going to find out hopefully so that should help. I'm convinced it's a girl 2bh but we'll see. Only a week away now!
I actually just realised I only posted our girl name lists! I'm so convinced I forgot to even mention boy names

Mine
Benjamin
Daniel
Ethan (love it but no nn which kind of bothers me!)
James

His
Laurence
Michael
Sam Jr. nope

I like Abigail but I'm biased as that's my LO's name. I also like Alice and Eleanor.

Suggestions:
Annabel nn Anna (though I see you already have an Isabella so another 'bel' ending might not be welcome... maybe Annalise?)
Edith nn Edie
Charlotte nn Lottie or Charlie
Margaret nn Margo or Maggie
Althea nn Thea
Ivy (no good nickname options I just love Ivy)

 

[Eleanor ace]

Madeline nn Madi/Lina
Matilda nn Mattie/Tilly
Tabitha nn Tabby
Lydia- can't think of a nn, except Dee-dee
Cecilia nn Cici
Gabrielle nn Elle/Ela/Gabby
Charlotte nn Lottie
Arietty nn Etty/Etta
Verity nn maybe Vivi
Valentina nn Valley
Hazel nn El

Issac nn Ike (I like it as a nn for Michal too)
Julian nn Jules
Jacb nn Jake
Benedict nn Ben/Benji/Dickie haha
Christopher nn Kit/Chris
Nathaniel nn Nate
Harrison nn Harry
Simon nn Si
Joseph nn Joey
William nn Billy/Will

[pippi_89]

I have a nephew Ethan and it actually rolls of the tongue really nicely when he was a baby we called him "bubba" the same nickname as my brother, his dad. But, it's nice now that he is older it's a really solid name and people always respond well to it.

I love Alice and would so use it if DH liked it.

Abigail is also amazing
