Jellybean is getting bigger and bigger and it has just dawned on DH and I that we will need a name for him/her (I have no idea why this didn't occur to us earlier )

We have 4 DCs already, Oliver, Christian (Kit) Sophia and Isabella and would like something in a similar vein for this one!

So far we have come up with
Boys
James
Samuel
Alexander
Zachary
Edward

Girls
Henrietta
Lydia
Jemima
Hannah
Ch arlotte

but all feel a bit bland and uninspired!

I like Samuel for a boy and how about Harriet for a girl, not as keen on Henrietta, reminds me of 4 weddings and a funeral

Oh dear, I have noticed the brilliant grammar in the title is there any way to change that so I at least appear semi-literate?

Loving some of the suggestions here! I think my problem is that I love frilly poncey names but know Araminta cannot be carried off unless your family has owned your childhood home since c.1250! I also thought I was being original with Sophia and Isabella as Isabella is one of 3 in her class as well as an Isobel and Isabelle clearly we were misguided!

Then there is the added problem of our jobs, as I'm social worker and DH a deputy head we both lists of 'absolutely no way on this earth, hearing that name makes my hairs stand on end' names (normally of 'boisterous' children we have encountered!
