After 4 miracle IVF babies - we have been blessed by a natural miracle! So throw some names at me! Boy or Girl ... and this time there's just 1! We like more traditional, classic, old-fashioned names that can have cute/spunky nn's. For a boy Im liking: Harrison - Harry William - Will Lincoln (not keen on the nn Linc tho?) Rafael - Rafa For a girl Im liking: Seraphina - Sera Penelope - Penny Arabella - Bella Baby names get me excited...and give me something else to think about other than O.M.G! hehe This post has been edited by katherinelucinda: 14/01/2013, 12:43 PM

Proud BFAR mum 12 months!
Wow your girls have great names, as hard as 2 sets of twins must have been, it would have been fun coming up with those combinations! Your style is a bit more classic than mine, I like more foreign sounding names. I just called DD2 Serafina and have mostly very positive feedback. I also liked Allegra (Alli or Lexi), Valentina (Nina or Leni), Calliope (Callie). For boys I really like Lincoln or Rafael, the other 2 are a bit traditional and common for me. Landon, Lawson, Alexander??

Dodie) Melisande (Lissa, Lissy) Cecelia (Cece, Cissy,Celia) Cicely, Cecily (Cece, Cissy) Persephone (Persy, Seph, Sephy) Rosamond (Rosie, Rosa, Rose) Agnes (Ness, Nessa, Nessy) Ernestine (Ness, Nessa, Nessy) Petronille, Petronelle/a (Pet, Petra, Pia, Nell) might get back for boys...

Penelope and Rafael are my favourites of those. I like all of the girls' names at least a bit though, in Penelope > Seraphina > Arabella order. Other ideas: Boys Gideon Cyrus Henry Gabriel Edmund Dominic Cassius Eli, which is legit in itself or good as a NN for Elijah, Elias, Eleazar etc. Girls Araminta Rosabel, Annabel, Mirabel, Christabel Susannah (NNs Susie, Suki, Zanna...) Wilhelmina (Willa, Mina) Jessamine Rosamund, Rosemary (Rosie, Romy) Leontine Leora
