Choosing a baby name. My least favourite thing to do.

I'm 20 weeks pregnant so I still have plenty of time to choose a name, but last time we didn't have a name until I was 41 weeks pregnant. I'd like to get something locked in earlier this time.

For boys I think my top name is
- Morris,
followed by
- Rowan
- Henry
- Jude
- Milo
- Samson

From all of these names, my husband likes Sam, not Samson..and doesn't mind Rowan.

For a girl I like
- Lucy
- Grace
- Rose

I'm open to suggestions. I prefer one or two syllables, fairly classic and hard for other people to mispell.

My favourite would be Rowan but I think Morris is lovely and guaranteed to be well known but uncommon.
Wesley, Theo, Arthur, Tobin/Tobias have a similar feel to Morris. Boys names are hard.

Lucy and Rose will always be classics can’t go wrong.

Boys: Jack, Leo, James, Foster, Curt/Kurt
Girls: Lily, Ada

Of your list I like Henry the best for the boys and Grace for girls (though it is very, very common in the school I teach in.)

Lucy is one of my favorite girl names and I think it's gained popularity but not overused.

I like Rowan and Jude from your list. Another similar name that I love is Ronan. I think it may be just slightly less popular but has the same feel.

I really like Arthur. Thanks for the suggestion.

Lucy is pretty popular in my country, I think it's sitting at around number 30. Popularity doesn't bother me too much, though.

I really like Leo, that was my favourite boy name for my last pregnancy.

I like Henry and Jude.

I think more of Rowan being for a girl but it's a nice name too.

Lucy and Grace are lovely.

I like Rose alright, but not one of my faves, if I was going to use a "flower name" I'd go with Lily.
