Have obviously namechanged for this!
I am four months pregnant and have had a bit of a rough ride (just minor health stuff, but enough to drag you down) this pregnancy. I'm trying to get excited so I'm turning my attention to names!
I am totally stuck and would love some inspiration. I have a Margaret (family names in the middle). I know it's a bit of a marmite name, but I adore it.
I'd like similar suggestions for this baby if anyone fancies helping out. I'm after names that are 'known' but not common (There were only about 70 Margarets in England and Wales the year she was born I think, it can be more popular than that, but ideally not top 100). Preferably fairly traditional, or alternatively Irish (with easy English spellings).
For girls, I am not fond of 'frilly' names, I'd like something strong sounding. In an ideal world, not ending -ella, -ia, i.e. (though I like Hermione).
For boys, I like things like Timothy, Peter, David, etc (though some of those are discounted as the names of family) or biblical names. On the Irish side, I love Seamus, but DH vetoed it last time. I don't really like surname names personally, so would rule those out.
Anyone feeling creative with all those rules?
