I’m expecting my first baby with my partner and [name_u]June[/name_u]. Between us, we already have three daughters and I have a sneaky suspicion this is a girl too! (Though that probably means its a boy!).
At the moment, I really don’t see how we’re going to find a name we both like, never mind love.
I like more ‘out there’ names. I’ve got a really boring first name and was one of 4 in my class throughout school, so I named my daughter [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] so that she’s not one of many, but more than I thought there was going to be to be honest.
My partner’s girls are [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], both of which were in the top 10 the years they were born. For me, they would be far too common to use, but DP likes that they are familiar and nobody will misspell them.
Basically, we’re looking for names that are familiar but unusual. My favourite name just now is (other than [name_f]Persephone[/name_f], which is far too close to [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]) [name_f]Martha[/name_f], which DP hates, and hers is [name_f]Ava[/name_f], which is number 5 right now, so too common for me.
