I love watching these videos on Youtube and so thought I would do my own version. Here are 5 boys and 5 girls names I absolutely love but will not be using!

Starting with the boys names:

1. Alexander. This one is a bit of a cheat because its one of Harry’s middle names (yes he has 2!) so I don’t know if technically I have used it? But I adore the name Alexander for a boy! Harry’s name was supposed to be Alexander but it just didn’t suit him. He’s definitely a Harry!

2. Noah. This name is beautiful but Sam hates it. It also doesn’t go with our last name so its a no go for this one, unfortunately!

3. Charlie. I love Charlie, but it doesn’t go with Harry very well or again our last name (its kind of a tricky one) so no go for Charlie.

4. Wyatt. I have loved this name since the days of watching Charmed with my mum and always said I would name one of my children Wyatt. Then I met Sam who HATES this name. Even more than he hates Noah. But I’ll continue to love this name.

5. Finn. This one comes from watching glee. I had never considered it before that show, but I loved the character Finn and the name. Won’t be using it, becasue again Sam doesnt like it! I honestly don’t know how we will ever name our next baby!

Girls Names.
1.Spencer. My number one girls name is Spencer. I love it for a boy too and hoping when the time comes i can convince Sam on it for a boy, but he is just not budging for a girl and while i love it, i worry that if we had a daughter and called her Spencer she would be teased for having a ‘boys name’

2. Leighton. I’ve loved this since gossip girl and will always love it but it just not a name i see myself choosing. I’m not sure why, because I adore it so much!

3. Bella. I love this one just not enough!

4. Harriet. Obviously, I can’t have Harry and Harriet, that’s just too much!!

5. Maddy/Madaline. This kills me but it sounds horrible with our last name, so no for this one!

What are the names you love?
