    Not currently pregnant but I had my baby names picked years ago.

    Ava and Conor.

    I've heard that it can change once you actually see the baby but for now we'll go with those two.

    You got any stand-out names for your bump Quality?

    Timpiste for a boy or girl is quite good

    Only messin, girlfriend loves Isabell for a girl so I'm told that's what our first girl will be

    Isabell shortens to bell (which I think is corny) but she loves

    Moses while not a popular choice is a damn cool name, no one fcuks with Moses

    I'm called after my 2 grannies and I want to keep the tradition and the best combination of Alice and Mary that I like, is Alimae, and for a boy James (Jamie). A second boy is Eamon and second girl after me.
    I like family names because I think they help maintain the family story and also they don't go in and out of fashion too much. I prefer to be able to say I'm called after my grannies rather than my cousin Rowena who's called after a name my aunt liked in a Mills & Boon novel :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12 kimcardashian


    hail moses


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,120 ✭✭✭shrapnel222


    after 2 boys my wife is desperate for a girl and would call her Juliette- this is already non debatable- i have no say in the matter:P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 94 ✭✭Brad Goodman


    Caleb or Jacob for a boy. Jude or Stevie for a girl.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,900 ✭✭✭Quality


    I am hoping for some inspiration here so keep em coming...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭Chinafoot


    Oooh yeah Caleb is a great name. Also like Jonas.

    I kinda like Etta for a girl, but my niece is named Ella so I think that could be a bit confusing. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,484 ✭✭✭Quackles


    Oooh names :) My favourite subject!

    Boy names:
    Darwin
    Elijah
    Joshua (but I hate Josh, so maybe not)
    Ferdia
    Diarmuid
    Senan

    Girl names:
    Alice
    Aoife
    Ailbhe
    Caoimhe
    Maebh
    Eve
    Muireann
    Caoimhinn
    Realtin
    Siofra
    Laoise

    My firstborn is Emmett, if he was a girl he'd have been Ciara, but I've totally gone off that now. I'm going to keep it quiet, maybe. I'm telling everyone Ghenghis for a boy, Gobnait for a girl.

    Hmm.. that shortens my list :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 77 ✭✭dosed


    my top three of each (for this week!):

    girls:

    > Adeline
    > Cara
    > Lucina

    Boys:

    > Sebastian
    > Micah
    > Tane

    do you any of these?
    I chage my mind with names all the time :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,170 ✭✭✭Grawns


    My friend called her little girl Tess. Not Elizabeth or anything, just tess. I like it but won't be using it obviously. I have a potential girls name picked out but am not telling, ( don't know why). It is an Irish name.

    As for boys names

    Edmond Patrick for my dad, grandad, great grandad etc. etc. something like 17 generations.
    Probably called Ted or Ed which is a cool enough name.
    My oh gets the surname so I am being insistant on this but he likes my Dad and the name anyway. He's called after his Dad and Grandad so that's where Patrick comes in.

    Wish I knew if it was a boy or girl. Suspense not my favourite thing so pregnancy is proving arduous.

    Not exactly. It's Caoimhín - pronounced Queeveen.

    Not your ornery onager



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,181 ✭✭✭LolaDub


    Funny, i know a caoimhinn and a caoimhainn but there's a lot of variation in old names i suppose.


  • Posts: 31,118 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    How about using one of the (great)grandparents name. Thats what we did, with one it was a deliberate choice and the other by chance.

    I'm not big on Sadie or Esther... or Austin! My OH's son is named after his great grand father already so that's out!

    I was the same, my son is called Noah Anthony Thomas Christian. I really like Caleb but I cousin got there before me. I am trying to persude my brother to call his son Jacob, Elijah or Jonah but its not working. I just really like these names because everybody has heard them and nobody uses them.

    I really liked Caleb as well but somebody got there before me
