If I were to name my children now...
It certainly has been a long time since I frequented these boards, the last time was in fact when I was naming my youngest twins who are now 7 years old!
Whilst I'm pretty sure my baby making days are over, I've been wondering what it would be like if I were to start having children now, as my name preferences seem to have taken a rather classic turn. Obviously, I have no regrets in naming my babies but I do think I'd do think I'd name the girls particularly rather differently now. Here are some names I'm playing with:
Ruth
Martha
Thea
Delilah
Agnes
Nancy
Rose
Edith
Evelyn
Lucy
Maggie
Etta
Elisabeth
Eliza
Mabel
Polly
Lucy
Evangelina
And a sibset:
Mabel Eliza
Edith Polly
Evelyn Nancy What are your thoughts?Sara Louise and Rio Elliot proud parents to Ivy Jemima, Oscar Elias, Liesel Cosette, Nola Madeleine, twin girls Willow Hermione and Xanthe Roma, and twin boys Gabriel Levi and Alexis Zachariah.

I love your list of names. I adore Ruth so much, but it sounds so much better in English than in my own language. It's more harsh in m language. But I love the sound of Ruth in English, its so beautiful. Other names I like from your list are Rose, Evelyn, Lucy and Eliza.

My favourites still include Ruth, Nancy, Lucy, Elizabeth (not with an s), Mabel and Polly.Realistically, I'd use Ruth, Lucy and Polly; I have used Elizabeth as a mn.

Oh my Gosh! is this Nola from Babynamegenie?!? This is J! It's so great to see you again if so! Assuming you are that Nola, I'm so glad you picked Leo Ezra! It's great! I don't know if it's you, but if it is, your husband's name is Alex right? Sorry if it's not you, but if it is, I'm so sorry I didn't get back to you on the Eunice Christophine poll. I forgot! I left you a message there now, so look for that poll again if it's you. Sorry if it's notIt seems like it's you, because you have a similar style in names, and you have two daughters.I love Martha, Ruth, Etta, Lucy, Rose, Evelyn and Mabel. I really like Mabel Eliza, but Nancy is a little too nicknamey. How about Evelyn Anna? I also like Martha Agnes, Lucy Mabel and Evelyn Rose.I come here a lot, but never posted a message before. When I saw your name I just had to though. I'm sorry if it isn't you, but even if not, I hope you like my suggestions.

Agnes Eliza
Nancy Ruth
Edith Mabel
Some other combo ideas...
Agnes Delilah
Rose Evangelina
