    I like Kayla for a girl. My coworkers son's name is Carter and I think that is cute... but it might just be because he is the cutest little kid.

    http://www.momswhothink.com/baby-names/baby-names.html has a silly amount of names with meaning and origin

    I'd say it depends on your surname?

    Grr, it won't let me edit!

    Should have said, Ivo for a boy, Alba for a girl.

    Also like Noah for a boy and Jaz for a girl.

    I like names that are unusual, but not unknown. Classic names, too. Or anything in between. I don't want them to have the same name as every other kid in their primary school class, but equally I don't want them to spend their whole lives spelling out their name for people.

    Our surname is very 'normal' and English, so a classic name will suit well. Could probably carry off a slightly less normal name, but deffo nothing ethnic or wacky. And probably nothing ending in an n. And nothing that anyone else in my family is already called.

    Obviously I have my work cut out for me :p

    All except traditional British or heavily anglicised names.

    Don't think our surname could carry off a Jean-Baptiste, or an Eduardo, or a Bronislawa.

    Probably should have said foreign. Nothing foreign-sounding.

    I like Rebecca and Esther, but I'm a little biased as one is a relative and one is my middle name. :p
