Congratulations.

boy = Solomon

[scottyrocks]

First, congratulations!

There are lot of great choices here already. I would just keep in mind that your child will have to live with the name, and the resulting childhood peer fallout, you give him/her.

One of my favorite names for a boy is Vladmir. Again, though, let the buyer (or namer) beware.

[hellsbellslolly]

Awesome suggestions, thank you so much every-one. I am quite spoilt for choice. I am edging towards something like Beatrice which I can shorten to Bea bea or Araminta I adore Minty or Minnie very sweet. Does any-one like Seraphina? Too out there?

Oh, I like Seraphina. That is a beautiful name.

 

[amador]

Elanor, as suggested by Frodo to Sam. Later can go by El.

 

[Dan'l]

We named our son Olin. He is named after one of my great uncles. It’s an Old Norwegian name that means holly bush, which signifies hope.

Mycroft (as in Holmes) is another name I like. Mrs. Dan’l said no way were we giving that name to our son.
I also suggested James. Mrs. Dan’l was quick to realize that I was trying to name baby after Jim Morrison. So our son’s name is Olin.

As for girl names:
Abigail Jane
Loretta Mae

 

[davidraphael]

Tarquin
Jemima
Crawford
Piers
Cornelius
Angus

Congratulations! Do keep in mind the "getting beat up on the playground" syndrome. I've always liked the names Nigel and Basil (big fan of the old Sherlock Holmes series).
