Bonnie for a girl, definitely. (I may be slightly biased - this may, or may not, be the name of my DD Hmm).
And Jude for a boy.

PeppaFuckingPig hath spake. You may abandon this thread now.

OK. With your other DCs names I think you need something shortish and unusual but not totally "out there". I'd avoid the very old fashioned names as they are v different from your other DCs.

I like these (given the above):
Bonnie
Hebe
Ottillee
Nell

And for boys:
Pip (if you have a long name for the birth cert, otherwise this could be a burden for an adult)
Jude
(I love Ivo but its way too close to Arlo)

If you have a DD, promise me you'll call her Scout. DH and I love this name so much, but had two DS's.

Can I suggest you blindly stick a pin in the list and if your reaction to the name is disappointment, then discard.

Keep going until you feel 'yay!'

SilverBirdie · 03/03/2013 20:59

Oh and we fancied Rowan for a boy which I always thought could get 'Pip' given the tree/nature link

it's kind of what I'm doing here...I'm crossing them off the list/keeping them on,based on my reactions to other people's opinions...
