I find myself obsessed with boys’ names. There are very few truly ‘girly’ names that I like. Is anyone else like this?

Okay, here is a list of my current favourite names. Let me know what you think. Also, I'd love to hear of any combinations of the first/middle names that appeal to you.

Boys:

Theodore
Elliott
Milo (My – low)
Noah
James
Oliver
Simon
Elijah
Neville
Emery
Quinn
Liam
Seamus (Shay – mus)

Girls:

Elliott
Rylan
Willow
Ean

Middle Names:

Cyrus
Patrick
Morgan
Spencer
Wyatt
Drew
Lawrence
Jude
Ashton
Reese
Marty
Finn
Jack
Wilder
Montague

Also, I think my grandparents’ names are rather funny/interesting. They are: Dennix and Birte (beer-ta), Camilla and Vernon.

I really hate it when good names turn really popular/boring (the two seem to go hand in hand). Such is the case with Noah, Elijah, James, and Elliott, even. It makes me so sad.

I love the sound of 'Seamus', though you're right - its associations with 'shame' and the problems people would have with pronouncing it might not make it the best choice.

What did you name your daughter?
