Sophie Lilly

The first option we went for was actually Mishelle. When I think about it now it makes my laugh a lot, she's such a Sophie;)

SOPHIE a friend from work named his daughter Sophie and we liked it so much , also OH liked the PS - princess Sophie from Da Vinci Code
LILLY that came to my mind in the last few weeks before she was born. Oh didnt like it at first and was saying it was a grandma name ! lol
But someone told him her initials SLJ sound cool so he got all proud and likes to call her her full name :)

BENJAMIN
No middle name...
From being a young girl i always said if i had a little boy i would call him Benjamin,i think at the time i had a thing for Benjamin Rabbit lol!
I think Benjamin or benji is a cute name for a younger child and Ben is a nice strong manly name!!!!!!!!!!!
Means SON in hebrew so even nicer!

Chester Jake
When going through the baby book Chester was the only name we both really liked. I like it because it is old fashioned and oh likes it because he can say his son is named after a character in the Goonies!! (typical man, childish!!) and Jake because it goes and we can call him CJ for short!

Francesca Rose

Francesca my dh came up with and we both liked it. Rose is after Axl Rose from Guns n Roses and actually started as a joke. I mentioned that someone on here was naming their child the singer in their fave bands surname and i said thats like us calling the baby Rose cos dh loves Guns n Roses. It just kinda stuck.

OLIVER WILLIAM
My grandma's name was OLIVE and my grandad's middle name was OLIVER plus I've always loved the name Ollie so this was ideal! WILLIAM is his grandad's name on his dad's side

JACOB FREDERICK
We were watching Eastenders when that guy JAKE was still in it and realised we both really liked it!! His dad insisted we had to put Jacob on the birth certificate because "it's more traditional" but tbh i'm not as keen on it so never call him it! FREDERICK is his grandad's name on his dad's side

POPPY FRANCESCA
Poppy just cos we both loved it - it was that or India but my oh thought it was too pretentious!! Francesca is after ohs mum who passed away when he was 21, she was actually called Frances which I didn't really like so we just added 'ca' on the end and we love it!!

Kade Marshall (marshall is middle name)

Kade is kind of made up. We knew there was Kaiden and liked the name Kane so just adapted it. I think it means wetlands in Scottish or something like that.

Marshall, just because I like it Smile

JAMES HARRISON

I always said if I have a boy he would be named James, my grandfather is James and my brother is JJ (James Junior). I didn't find out the sex but was 99% sure I was having a boy and my grandad used to talk to my bump and say hello James whenever I saw him. Grandad unfortunately passed away 15 days before my James was born so I carried on the name in memory of the greatest man ever!!

My hubby chose Harrison, it was going to be James Charlie, but hubby changed his mind. But has since said if we have another boy it will be Charlie.
