Hi all,

Newbie here. We've just started trying, so of course the first thing I do is start looking for names!

What do you guys think of these possible names?

Girls: Annette or Anne (nickname Annie), Claire, Abigail (Abby), Helen, Charlotte (Lotte), Naomi

Boys: Peter, Ephraim, Levi, Benjamin (Ben)

I'm exactly the opposite! These are by far my favorites. Would that I could talk my dh into even considering Naomi.

Love: Annette, Anne, Claire (my dd's MN), Helen, Charlotte, Levi and Benjamin

Hate: the rest...

Now, go get K/U... Wink

Claire & Benjamin get my vote. Great names!

My favs would be Abigail & Benjamin

All your names seem good to me. Except poor Ephraim. The 13 year old girl in me would torture the poor boy. Sorry but hate that name.

scoutkate · January 2012

I like all of your girl names, especially Anne. Annette and Naomi are my least favorite of the bunch.

For boys, Peter and Benjamin.

I like Claire and Benjamin; but they're all pretty good

My favorites are Anne/Annie, Peter, and Levi. My DH likes Ephraim (and we were considering it briefly for this baby), but I think it would be hard for lots of people to pronounce.

claire and levi

For girls I love Claire and Abigail.

For boys I love Levi and Benjamin.

Wow! I didn't expect so many responses! Thanks everyone! We've got a lot to think about. Of course, I've got to get pregnant first. Thanks!

I don't dislike any of them - great list! Some - Claire, Abigail, and Charlotte - are a little too popular for my taste, and Benjamin is somewhat boring. I love Peter, Levi, Helen, and Anne/Annette. My favorites, though, are Ephraim (adore) and Naomi.

That's what I'm worried about with Ephraim, too. We live in the south and it would mostly be pronounced "A-frame", as opposed to properly "EF-rem. Funny, but probably not for the kid, who's going to have to go his whole life telling people how to spell and pronounce his name properly. But both my husband and I really like it. We like all of them. Maybe our kids will just have eight names each and then we don't have to pick.
