Basically, we have two baby name books and we have too many choices! I wish there was an app I could use to restrict certain things, but instead I'll ask you all for help! My problem is I've been a teacher for 8 years so it's really hard not to associate names with other kids... And this is very gender specific but there have been some difficult boys in that time!

Rules for boy's names...
1. It can't be a really common name: I'm Gemma, DP is Zane and DD is Poppy so anything common would be strange with our names!
2. Surname is Goodwin, so no names Starting with a hard 'g' sound or ending in 'n'.
3. We'd prefer one syllable, two at the most.
4. Nothing really "out there"- DP hates how strange his name is for a 31 year old man!
5. Nothing starting with P.

When pregnant with DD we had chosen Fletcher, but a family friend has used that. Of course, it would help if DP could think of any names he likes, he keeps telling me he'd like Les- I don't think this will ever happen! Ta in advance!!

oops my bad i didn't know that poppy's middle name was lou which is totally cute by the way.
I just thought poppy and louie sounded good as sibling names! and louie is a totally cute name. and its timeless just like poppy's name is.

perhaps its too close sorry i tried Blushing .

About avoiding the hard G because of your surname...

There are many, many successful men with alliterative names. (Women with alliterative names seem to all be porn stars though!)

Think Robert Redford, Danny DeVito, William Wordsworth, Christopher Colombus, Boris Becker, Kevin Costner, Jake Gyllenhaal, Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Ronald Reagan, Calvin Klein...
