Hello all, i am looking for a bit of help for names for our first baby, due in a few months. We have not found out what we are having, so names for both sex would be aprecaited. I do have a few criteria though (not strict, but helps to narrow down the ideas):- 1. I am looking for classic names, and names that do not require me to spell them to people. 2. I would prefer uncommon names, or at least not in the top 20. 3. I have been leaning towards two syllable names, as I feel this flows better with our surname, which has three syllables (starts with Del.....). 4. We are unsure if we will be choosing a middle name as yet, so first name help only at the moment will be fine To give you a bit of inspiration, here are a few of the names we have been leaning towards so far:- For boys; Henry Louis Ruben For Girls: Elsa Rosa Mila Thanks in advance or your suggetions
