I'm only in the very early stages of this pregnancy, but I can't help myself and I'm already thinking about names (and I'm sure it won't be the last time I'm on this forum asking for advice between now and November). Anyway, I'd like opinions on these names, plus any other suggestions that people have. And if you had to pick a favourite from each list, what would it be? We already have DD Caitlin and DS Oscar.

Patrick
Alastair
Sebastian
Max
Jonathan
Hugo
Darcy
Charlie

Eloise
Phoebe
Lila
Stella
Scarlett
Alexis
Lola

Thanks in advance!

Patrick and Phoebe

Patrick- lovely
Alastair- I love it spelt Alistair
Sebastian- very nice
Max- I only like this as a nickname only to Maximilian, Maxwell, Maximus or Maximus
Jonathan- ok
Hugo- ok, I much prefer Hugh
Darcy- lovely
Charlie- I see it as a nickname only to Charles or Charlton but I'd avoid another C (or O) first name anyway

Eloise- gorgeous
Phoebe- lovely
Lila- ok, but I much prefer Leila (Lay-lah)
Stella- very nice but I definitely prefer Estella or Estelle
Scarlett- lovely
Alexis- don't mind
Lola- ok



Patrick and Eloise are my favourites from the list as is.

Gorgeous names! Eloise and Phoebe were both on our shortlist and l absolutely love them both. I quite like Stella, but am not quite so keen on the others, though all are nice.

I like all your boys names, but Patrick is my favourite.

I like most of your names OP, but I think with Caitlin and Oscar I like Sebastian best for a boy and Phoebe best for a girl

Oh my goodness, i think i've died and gone to heaven with these beautiful names - so so lovely, and what great names your 2 kids have too

Ok my thoughts FWIW:

Patrick - love
Alastair - adore
Sebastian - fantastic
Max - adore
Jonathan - love love love (My DH's name)
Hugo - my current fave boys name - love
Darcy - ok
Charlie - adore this name (its my dads and his dads name)

Eloise - classic and beautiful
Phoebe - love this name
Lila - ok
Stella - really dislike
Scarlett - really really dislike
Alexis - great name
Lola - i do like this, but DD is OBSESSED with her Lola doll, all i hear in my house is her yelling LOLA over and over again when she is searching for her, and she has Charlie and Lola books that she loves too so it just reminds me of DD's doll - but that aside, i really do like it yes.

Fantastic choices - have i mentined that yet

above a my picks. i also like jaxon and amelia

I can't see a boy's name I like but you must have good taste because my kids are Oskar, Lillah and Stella.

What about Asher or Noah?

Sebastian

Alexis or Scarlett

Patrick - Prob my fave of your boys suggestions
Alastair - Okay, don't love it
Sebastian - I think of "sea bass"
Max - I prefer it if it's short for something
Jonathan - Okay, a little boring
Hugo - Okay, but don't love it
Darcy - NMS
Charlie - Second fave on the list

Eloise - I just have an irrational hate of this name
Phoebe - Cute
Lila - I like this
Stella - Nice
Scarlett - I think of "Scarlett the harlot"
Alexis - Nice
Lola - NMS
