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)

I love your taste in names. :)

Out of the girls' names, I really enjoy:
Eleanor
Katie
Laura
Alice
Rosie
Lauren
Margaret (nn Peggy)
Ada
Grace
Rose
Emma
Clare

Out of the boys' names:

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

I enjoy the classic style of the names you have selected. Being that I'm in the US, I'm not sure about the popularity of the names in the UK, but I'd say that they would definitely leave room for individuality...at least here! :)

Quite a few of the girls name I chose are really popular in the UK, but I really love them. I feel that giving a child a name that is too 'unique' or 'orginial' is a bit silly. Better to go with well-established if slightly old fashioned names, I feel.
