I'm not pregnant, and I probably won't be for some time yet. However, I love names, and I have always had a slight obsession on that front.

My name is Jessica Blanche, a name which my parents chose because they felt 'Jessica' was the most un-spectacular and fitting in-est name they could find. Not that I'm bitter or anything ;-).

Anyway, my favourite name lists - what do you think?



Girls:

Eleanor
Katie
Laura
Alice
Rosie
Lauren
Margaret (nn Peggy)
Ada
Agnes
Grace
Rose
Emma
Clare
Eliza
Katriona
Vera

Boys:

Alex
Jacob
Edmund
Alfred (nn Fred)
Frederick (nn Fred)
Arthur
Max
Thomas
Richard
Ian
Edward
Oliver
Ashley
Henry
Andrew
James

When I read the first part of your post, I became terrified you were then going to want to subject your poor future children with names like "Madylynnnzy'einy". Then I clicked on the cut, and was saved!

I love all of your favorites - although I wouldn't name a boy Ashley, that's just asking for teasing. I do have a soft spot for it as a boy's name, though.

I applaud you!

Don't worry! I think it's a bit cruel to name your child 'Rowbert' or something because you think it's more 'original', or something. I just dislike my name because it is so common that 7% of my (all-girls) school is called Jessica!

Hmm. The only Ashleys I've met are boys... But it does seem to be becoming more of a girl's name, now I think about it.

I should probably stop using 'something', or something.
