FET - transferred two embryos (boy and girl) - Nov 2014 - BFP!
Cressida - Meh...it's okay, but I'm just not feeling it.
Lulu - Adorable, but not a name a kid can grow up with. NN material for sure, though.
Jessamy - NMS
Rowena - I actually like Rowan better.
Amos - NMS
Dante - Not bad, but definitely wouldn't make the cut.
Linus - Super cute, but don't think it would make the cut.
Rupert - I don't mind it, but I don't know if I love it.
B/w 1/8: betas 17,345, progesterone 25.6
Offbeat names are usually what I gravitate towards.
Cressida - I actually like this.
Lulu- That's a friends' nickname so I wouldn't use it.
Jessamy - Trying too hard to blend 2 names together.
Rowena - Like this one too.
Amos - Love this. Absolutely love it, but H would never ever go for it. He would say Amos Diggory if I recommended it.
Dante - Too Latin for my taste.
Linus - I really like this one too, but it makes me think of the bartender on HIMYM.
Rupert - Our friends' dogs name. So probably wouldn't use.
