[name]Hi[/name]! I am 13 weeks pregnant today and names are all I think about!
For a girl I have
[name]Olive[/name] [name]Mary[/name] [name]Rae[/name] - with other likes being [name]Marnie[/name] [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Martha[/name].
For a boy I really liked
[name]Otis[/name] [name]Ray[/name] [name]James[/name] but my partner now doesn’t like the name [name]Otis[/name]. I have very few other likes for boys! We both like [name]Ewan[/name] but other names we are divided. He likes [name]Henry[/name] or [name]Ray[/name] as a first name. I like [name]Fraser[/name] or [name]Ewan[/name] better. But still love [name]Otis[/name] the most!
Any help or opinions appreciated

I love [name]Olive[/name], [name]Marnie[/name], and [name]Hazel[/name] from your girls names. For boys I love [name]Ewan[/name], [name]Henry[/name], and [name]James[/name]. [name]Olive[/name] [name]Mary[/name] [name]Rae[/name] is really cute, [name]Marnie[/name] [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Martha[/name] feels a bit too heavy on the [name]MAR[/name], to me. Especially if you would want to use [name]Mary[/name] as a future siblings name. I think [name]Marnie[/name] [name]Hazel[/name] [name]Rae[/name] would be a wonderful choice. Or perhaps [name]Olive[/name] [name]Martha[/name] [name]Rae[/name]. [name]Otis[/name] [name]Ray[/name] [name]James[/name] doesn’t have the greatest flow. If you really want to use [name]Otis[/name] and can get your partner to agree [name]Otis[/name] [name]Ewan[/name] [name]Henry[/name], [name]Otis[/name] [name]Henry[/name] [name]Ray[/name], or [name]Ewan[/name] [name]Otis[/name] [name]Ray[/name] would be a great choice.

I love the idea of [name]Olive[/name] [name]Rosalind[/name] [name]Rae[/name], [name]Marnie[/name] [name]Matilda[/name] [name]Pearl[/name], or [name]Olive[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Rae[/name] for a girl or [name]Otis[/name] [name]Finian[/name] [name]Ray[/name], [name]Ewan[/name] [name]Fraser[/name] [name]Graham[/name], or [name]Eamon[/name] [name]Henry[/name] [name]James[/name] for a boy.
[name]Olive[/name] [name]Mary[/name] [name]Rae[/name] is really pretty and has great flow. I’m sorry I’m with your partner on [name]Otis[/name], for me it has always been the name of a pet - mostly a dog - plus it reminds me of the word oat, which makes me think of porridge and breakfast. Not great. I think you shoudl compromise with [name]Ewan[/name] if it’s what you both like and maybe but [name]Otis[/name] in the middle, something like: [name]Ewan[/name] [name]Otis[/name] [name]Ray[/name], Ewis [name]Ray[/name] [name]Otis[/name], [name]Ewan[/name] [name]Otis[/name] [name]Henry[/name], [name]Ewan[/name] [name]Henry[/name] [name]Otis[/name]. 
Thank you for your replies! I think I am quite set on [name]Olive[/name] [name]Mary[/name] [name]Rae[/name]. It’s just the boys names that are really hard for me!
[name]Do[/name] you think [name]Ewan[/name] [name]James[/name] [name]Ray[/name] or [name]Ewan[/name] [name]Ray[/name] [name]James[/name] work at all?
Thank you again!
I know a family with an [name]Otis[/name], [name]Finlay[/name] and [name]Beau[/name]. I think its cute!
Shame your partner doesn’t like [name]Otis[/name]…
Have you considered [name]Oscar[/name]? [name]Oscar[/name] [name]Henry[/name] sounds lovely, I love [name]Olive[/name] and [name]Hazel[/name], I would love to see [name]Hazel[/name] as a first name choice and I like [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Fraser[/name] the most of your other choices
Yay an [name]Otis[/name] fan ha! I had never heard of the film that people mention so I don’t associate it with dogs!
I don’t think I will get my way though 
my family aren’t keen either so as soon as a few close people say no…
I did like [name]Zachary[/name] but I don’t like [name]Zac[/name] which he’d inevitably be called!
It’s so hard!
[name]Olive[/name] is one of my most hated names. I realize most nameberries love it, but I think it is horrendous. I just picture a big slimy green olive with a pimento in the middle. I love [name]Mary[/name], though.
