Due on 28 November with a girl. Every time I mention we're stuck, someone says 'ooh, Autumn!' No offence to any Autumns but it's not us.
We like names that are a bit nature-ish but not too on the nose. Older sibling is called Arlo. Surname is two syllables and ends in 'son'.
Please give us your ideas - I'll take anything except Autumn. And, please, not Ember either. My mother-in-law has already tried.
Wren? Short, nature-ish, goes nicely with Arlo.
Juniper? Or Hazel. Both are trees and not too seasonal. My friend's daughter is Hazel and it's a lovely name to grow into.
Isla. Not nature exactly but it has that soft outdoorsy feel. Arlo and Isla sounds like a children's book series.
I have looked after an Arlo, a Hazel and two Wrens in the last three years, just so you know they're getting popular round here. Not a reason not to, just useful to know if you want something rarer.
Shortlist now: Wren, Hazel, and a late entry from my husband, Linnea. Mother-in-law has gone quiet which we're taking as approval. Will report back after the 28th!
