I'm pregnant and it's now my turn to give a name to a little baby! I'm excited but also so nervous. I've been a member of this site since I was around 10 years old, offering opinions to others out there and just enjoying looking through names that I might possibly one day get to use. Now's the time! I've gone through list after list shortening them as I go and taking off names that my husband doesn't agree with and I'm left with still a quite long list. For girls I really like girly girl names that are somewhat old fashioned and "cute". For boys, I like strong masculine names, mostly biblical. For both I prefer that they aren't overly common. I don't want my child being the 3rd or 4th Liam in their class as I grew up having multiple girls with my name and I didn't like it at all. What are your thoughts on my names? Could you actually see a child running around with the name? Is it completely awful? Be honest. Perhaps you can come up with a few combos or offer more suggestions as well. Thanks!
