Tarquin: Roman clan name of uncertain meaning Meaning of Roman: Latin, "citizen of Rome" Farquad: close to Farquhar which means “friendly/beloved Mostly for middle eastern/North African people from personal experience
She Hearts The High Street Channel I’m pregnant at the moment, We don’t know if we are expecting a girl or a boy yet but this is on our list of girls names, I love it!
I admire the cultures/families that look at the child and take a moment to see that the name fits the natural disposition of the baby- it imbues a sense of both poetic sensibility and respect for the individualxoxo.
Hi!, Javier is spanish and Xavier is from Catalonia in Spain... We call Lola to women whose name is Dolores. If we translate Dolores to english it means: “pains” I like Alba and Alma. Alma means: soul, and Alba means: the light before the sunrise. 💋
My little miss is called Scarlett, so glad you both like it, if I was going to have another girl I would call her Fleur, you are so lucky to have such a beautiful name! Couldn't stop laughing when Mike kept mentioning Tarquin!! Can't wait to hear the name you've picked x
Lyra is so gorgeous, so is Scarlett :) I also like Fox as a middle name, and Blue as a girl's name (but my favourite colour name is Burgundy for a girl). I'd also never thought of it but September's quite beautiful. Great tag, thanks!
I agree with Mike about the names like Chanel, Mercedes, Diamond, etc... not to be offensive to anyone given that name but it does seem a bit ostentatious and tacky.
i don't normally like names like that either. i would never call my child mercedes or diamond! however, i do really like the name chanel and i don't know why
Agreed, for the most part. The only one I would disagree with is "Mercedes" since that religious (Catholic) name was in existence way before becoming a car brand name. But I understood what Mike meant. Other jewel names could be cute though - like Ruby or Jade. Ruby is super popular nowadays.
If the name is of cultural significance to you, then great. I just meant that often people can be turned off from a name due to associations with brands, TV, celebrities, and so on without regards to the origin or meaning of the name.
OMG! I am from India and you guys loving the name India makes me so happy! ☺️ Also, you guys are the cutest. This kiddo is gonna be one of the most pampered and cutest baby ever. Good luck to you guys. ♥️
I'm obsessed with the name Harper for a girl as I love that it's so unisex and strong but at the same time pretty and sweet but it's definitely grown in popularity in the years since the beckhams! X
There's a woman in my yoga class named Tequila. I've heard it before it's not unheard of. I personally can't imagine using it, but I know lots of people who like the name Jamison/Jameson with sounds just as bad imo.
dmallow22 | Some drinks like Jameson or Baileys already are names (surnames) of course. But I also know a Chardonnay, which is really a grape, and Tequila is also a city.
A friend of mine just named her daughter Billie, super cute and very rare here in Sweden :) As for the middle name being an animal my guess is Robin, or Bunny as well
I feel the same way as you. All the names are slowly being erased off my list because people already have chosen them. Now when I have kids, I would have to find new names I really like. 😞😞
Halaaaftabjang Literally same! I'm having a boy in February and picking a name is so difficult when everyone around me/online seems to be picking the ones I like 😭😭. Luckily my partner and I did settle on a name we love but damn it's so difficult to choose when everyones stealing names! 😂
Jessie Morris congratulations. I hope you have a healthy baby. I feel the same. I'm not ready to have kids yet nor planning on. But I still have a list of names I love I don't want to repeat names that people have chosen.
Halaaaftabjang Aw thankyou 😊. I completely get you on that, before I even thought of having kids I made lists of names I really love! It's quite hard especially when the more uncommon ones you think of start becoming hugely popular and repeated 😥.
When you said Lyra I nearly lost it! Northern Lights is my favourite book, and plan on using the name Lyra for a daughter if I’m ever lucky enough to have one! Wish you both all the best 💕 so excited for baby to arrive!
Kathryn Dawson-Foy oh i dont disagree! I love posh, pretentious names, however our last name is Pelissero and i find that often names that are rare sound strange to me.
My son is called Blake!! I wanted James but got overridden by my husband. We love the name Blake because it's kind of unique but it's also strong. You guys are so cute!! Looking forward to seeing Baby de Force!! 💕
Lyra was on my list......because of His dark materials too. Our little girl was born last week and her name is one no one has heard of. It's really nice to have an unusual name. Lots of your names were on our list.
I quite like boys names for girls as well, and Blake was actually on my list (Blake Rachelle), but my husband vetoed that idea long before we were married.. Haha I feel you on wanting names that are different! I’ve had to let go of a lot of names I really like, as they’ve risen to popularity over the years. So excited to find out what y’all have decided to name your little girl!!
I'm with Fleur on Tarquin. Major throwback but it makes me think of Keeping Up Appearances (Sheridan's "friend" was called Tarquin and I've hated it ever since)
Love Mike's Imogen & Xavier ( 2 strong , timeless names ) . You both look very happy & your precious baby is already blessed to have such loving parents 🐣🐣
Angel Persephone Armogida Ah, I love the name (and character!) Talim. I wasn't aware of its meaning or origin before either, so thanks for letting me know! I find name meanings so interesting. 😊
Awww great to see you both. Marnie is a 1964 American psychological thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock...was that why you liked it? Or was it because it was like Hermione?
Naa, they wouldn't choose anything with political connotations. I met a lovely woman the other day who's a very left-wing & environmentally minded Labour party supporter called Reagan. Felt quite sorry for her!
I'm thinking Paloma or wren for middle name. Not to sure on first! Whatever it is she will be truly blessed I think different names are lovely and an individual touch x
Mike, I had to interrupt this video to tell you to go watch Keeping Up Appearances and see if you still like the name Tarquin for a boy after that. LOL Ok back to the video.
Oh my god! I was so happy to see you liked Marnie - which is my name! my parents hated the spelling with the E on the end so mine is spelt with just the I like Marni :) I used to hate my name but now I really like it as i've never met another Marni and always seem to get compliments on it! Congratulations and can't wait to see what you name your baby! xxxx
I'm genuinely surprised at both of your name choices! Naughty of me to assume you'd both like strong traditional names! You think exactly like myself and even if you like common names you don't want your child to have the same name as millions as others. And a few in their School class etc. Choosing both of our daughters names was so hard. I love unique names yet not weird so that people don't know how to spell or pronounce it. I'm so curious to find out your baby name choice now! Also you Fleur have a love for stars like myself and our 1st born has a name relating to a shooting star. But you mentioned Stella & it reminded me of Esteè & Essie as name options which are both star related⭐️ Like I've not typed enough I just wanted to say the happiness and love between you both was so evident just watching through my phone. I'm so happy for you both!!💗xx
As a teacher I find naming anything very hard - every name on this list is the name of a child I’ve taught!
Haha and say if you had a baby and picked a name that you like but the child you teach is super annoying and it puts you off😂
I lost it at Tarquin and Farquad, hahahah.
These people have no taste.
Tarquin: Roman clan name of uncertain meaning Meaning of Roman: Latin, "citizen of Rome"
Farquad: close to Farquhar which means “friendly/beloved
Mostly for middle eastern/North African people from personal experience
How lovely playing with his hand! You two are so in love and it shows! X
you cant call a baby lasagna, but you can call a baby Liz Anya
Quinn 😂😂😂
*perfection*
Quinn that's exactly what I think about when I hear Chris Pratt. Crisp. Rat.
Anya means Mom in Hungarian 😁
Someone at work's baby granddaughter is called Seren (Welsh for star).
I love how Mike's names are so innovative. These are all lovely names and you won't be using so I'm so excited to see your little girl's actual name.
You are so giddy with happiness!
She looks absolutely glows in this video!! I’m so happy they are both absolutely enjoying every step of the way!
Aww thanks Ana, this is very sweet! We are massively enjoying it :) xo
Literally never heard Xavier pronounced that way in my life, lol. Sounds so much more exotic when you guys say it!
The way they pronounced it is the common french pronunciation for the name 'Xavier' but is also used a lot in England too
Chrissy Long it makes me think of Javier (pronounced HA-vier, of course) the way they say it
I literally went to the comment just to post this same thing. Definitely not how most people pronounce it in the US.
Same!!!! Sounds so weird to me
yeah I’ve only ever heard in pronounced zay-vee-er rather than zavv-ee-ay... interesting tho...
Someone I know who recently had a baby girl named her Lennox which I thought was lovely. Unique and different but not obnoxious lol
Jennifer Myers it’s a quaint beautiful town in western Massachusetts.
You two are very alike. I've never noticed it before. 😄
Fiona Midgley their child will have amazing eyelashes!!
It is very common for couples to look alike!
they look like siblings!
A star-themed name I always thought was sweet is Seren, which is the Welsh word for star :) 🌟✨
This is so lovely :) xo
She Hearts The High Street Channel I’m pregnant at the moment, We don’t know if we are expecting a girl or a boy yet but this is on our list of girls names, I love it!
Anna onthedressingtable that's so sweet- and congratulations! ✨🌟 Adorable name! X
She Hearts The High Street Channel My name is Serina and that's awesome
Or Estelle or Celeste they're associated with stars right?
your hair looks beautiful!
You look sooo stunning in this video. Definitely have the pregnancy glow going on and loving your hair color
Why did Lyra remind me of Lycra instantly 😶 I guess I agree with mike on it
Barenya Nayak same!
It's great to see just how excited fleur is
Tarquin and Farquad 😂😂😂
I laughed so hard! Mike is hilarious
npigwnl reminds me of lord farquad from Shrek
I admire the cultures/families that look at the child and take a moment to see that the name fits the natural disposition of the baby- it imbues a sense of both poetic sensibility and respect for the individualxoxo.
Your hair Fleur 😍
Please do a baby video with Louise!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yvaine from the film Stardust is pretty. It means evening star which would tie in with your star theme.
You guys look so happy, I’m so excited for you guys being a mom is the best feeling in the world.
Thanks so so much Janessa! We are super excited 😃 ! xo
Seren means star in Welsh 💗
Soooo cute! ⭐ xo
my daughter's name is Serenity and Seren is her nickname from her godparents
It’s pronounced Ser-en not Ser-un (as a fluent welsh speaker it is a huge big bear of mine 😂) nice idea with the star theme.
I think it's a beautiful name, Whatever Fleur chooses will be perfect she has the best taste xxx
Stars are just hot gas balls that a millions of years apart from others. Not too desirable
your hair color is so lovely
Sorry Mike, totally on Fleur's side about Tarquin 😂 also, I know a really naughty Shetland pony called Tarquin...
AmieET best comment ever!!!! And naughty pony 😂😂😂😂 🐴🐴🐴🐴
What about Aurora?
Sameh Yehia That's a good name!!!
I was almost called this
Hi!,
Javier is spanish and Xavier is from Catalonia in Spain...
We call Lola to women whose name is Dolores. If we translate Dolores to english it means: “pains”
I like Alba and Alma. Alma means: soul, and Alba means: the light before the sunrise. 💋
Lyra 😍 totally read those books when I was younger... Will need to dig them out and read them again ! I loved them !!
I genuinely thought you were going to call your daughter Stella!
My little miss is called Scarlett, so glad you both like it, if I was going to have another girl I would call her Fleur, you are so lucky to have such a beautiful name! Couldn't stop laughing when Mike kept mentioning Tarquin!! Can't wait to hear the name you've picked x
Maybe not Tarquin but Quinn is nice for a boy :)
Amanda Palmer my daughter is Quinn👍
Oh thats lovely for a girl too.
Amanda Palmer thank you. She is Quinn Ava and our son is Grey Andrew.
I like those names! Combination of them too!
No no.. I knew a red headed boy with freckles named Quinn & he was so annoying + always in trouble!
Lyra is so gorgeous, so is Scarlett :) I also like Fox as a middle name, and Blue as a girl's name (but my favourite colour name is Burgundy for a girl). I'd also never thought of it but September's quite beautiful. Great tag, thanks!
I agree with Mike about the names like Chanel, Mercedes, Diamond, etc... not to be offensive to anyone given that name but it does seem a bit ostentatious and tacky.
Lauren S oh lord yes.
i don't normally like names like that either. i would never call my child mercedes or diamond! however, i do really like the name chanel and i don't know why
Agreed, for the most part. The only one I would disagree with is "Mercedes" since that religious (Catholic) name was in existence way before becoming a car brand name. But I understood what Mike meant. Other jewel names could be cute though - like Ruby or Jade. Ruby is super popular nowadays.
If the name is of cultural significance to you, then great. I just meant that often people can be turned off from a name due to associations with brands, TV, celebrities, and so on without regards to the origin or meaning of the name.
Lauren S Agree except for Mercedes, I'm from a Spanish speaking country and Mercedes is a common name (and it has no relation to the car).
Tarquin is gonna go to jail for hazing underclassmen
Hot sauce de force
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂 xo
If there was a question on choose a name of a season for your baby I would choose Winter or spell it differently and be Wynter and I also like Summer
Your baby is going to have amazing eyes 👀😘
Maitland is a small bogan city in New South Wales, Australia. Glad to hear it associated with something nice for once!
OMG! I am from India and you guys loving the name India makes me so happy! ☺️
Also, you guys are the cutest. This kiddo is gonna be one of the most pampered and cutest baby ever. Good luck to you guys. ♥️
Lorelei dances on the tonque! So beautiful,just like you and your little girl!
I'm obsessed with the name Harper for a girl as I love that it's so unisex and strong but at the same time pretty and sweet but it's definitely grown in popularity in the years since the beckhams! X
I agree - Harper is a lovely name!
I loved it because of the book, and thats the reason the Beckham s chose it, but a lot of ppl have copied their kids names which I think is silly
I agree with unique names. A lot of names are sooo worn out. Loved the choices!
will you be doing a name reveal?
i'm due a few months after you with my twins and i must say - you hit a couple of my name choices in the tag. ☺️☺️
I worked in a group at university with a girl called Tequila. Can’t get much worse than that
Simology | it’s horrible drink of course. Baileys is better.
My boyfriend wants to call our dogs Tequila and Whiskey 😂 a bit better on a dog than a person
There's a woman in my yoga class named Tequila. I've heard it before it's not unheard of. I personally can't imagine using it, but I know lots of people who like the name Jamison/Jameson with sounds just as bad imo.
dmallow22 | Some drinks like Jameson or Baileys already are names (surnames) of course. But I also know a Chardonnay, which is really a grape, and Tequila is also a city.
Martini ? She is horrible as well
i love lyra!!
i always thought lyra was pronounce like vera for some reason? haha like lera but spelt lyra still if that make sense?
I like it; I'd be concerned that it would be often mispronounced as Leera.
Kelly Lim it's my daughter's name!
Annie Peterson that happens about 25 percent of the time--not too bad.
Lyra sounds like liar
Your hair looks amazing, Fleur!
As an animal-related middle name I think Sable or Fawn would be beautiful :)
My two kids each have animal middle names! Excited to learn what you both settled on!
Xavier feels like he could be the next doctor.. His personality is totally the doctor
lakenessa whose personality?
Xavier is such a common name where i'm from. It's as common as Harry lol
Fleur you are shining! So nice to see you this way
My guess is Billie, super cute, not too popular, has an L sound & traditionally a boys name, if only I could put money on it!
Sorcha F Yes Billie or Charlie! And she said an animal middle name... hmmm I’m gonna go with bunny.
Sorcha F my daughters Billie ha
I mean it is tied with Billie Piper, but she's a lovely woman! x
Also Bill is also short for William -> mikes middle name. You may be onto something ;)
A friend of mine just named her daughter Billie, super cute and very rare here in Sweden :) As for the middle name being an animal my guess is Robin, or Bunny as well
So excited to know what you're calling your baby now! Loved Lyra too - so pretty! Xxx
I feel the same way as you. All the names are slowly being erased off my list because people already have chosen them. Now when I have kids, I would have to find new names I really like. 😞😞
Halaaaftabjang Literally same! I'm having a boy in February and picking a name is so difficult when everyone around me/online seems to be picking the ones I like 😭😭. Luckily my partner and I did settle on a name we love but damn it's so difficult to choose when everyones stealing names! 😂

Aww your hand holding is absolutely ❤️
My husband’s number one choice for a girl is Andromeda. So Mike’s choices are a lot more reasonable
Lavender chick Great name! You should go for Galaxy as a middle name. 😄
My partner's number one choice is Björn or Koda. Only because they both mean bear.
I like Andromeda! Or Ana for short.
I'd never forgive my dad if he named me Andromeda 😂😂😂
Bjorn's a good name, I think.
When you said Lyra I nearly lost it! Northern Lights is my favourite book, and plan on using the name Lyra for a daughter if I’m ever lucky enough to have one! Wish you both all the best 💕 so excited for baby to arrive!
So glad you guys all love the book ( and name) too! Such an AWESOME series! xo
Jackson, Logan, Finn... who’s loving the Gilmore Girls names? Your baby should probably be called Rory, lol. ❤️
Janet van Milligen I would die if she did that. My fave show ever!!!!
Omg Lori to 😆
Mercedes, Lola ( actually the shorter versión of dolores) and Xavier (spelled javier) are pretty common in spain!
My partner, he suggests super poshy names too like Anastasia, or Fletcher. We are Canadian, so these are not as popular as they might be in England.
Raluca England to be fair Fletcher is a really nice name for either gender as a first name.
Kathryn Dawson-Foy oh i dont disagree! I love posh, pretentious names, however our last name is Pelissero and i find that often names that are rare sound strange to me.
Raluca England I LOVE LOVE Anastasia
Raluca England Never heard of anyone called those here. Anatasia is a very Russian name and Fletcher not sure but not English and neither are posh
Helen i think fletcher is american. Makes me think of the jim carrey movie. My name is Raluca and thats not common either hahah
Love you guys together. Such a sweet loving couple💜
My nickname for my boyfriend is Blue. Can't wait for BabyDeForce.
You look amazing Fleur! And loving your hair at the moment! xx
My son is called Blake!! I wanted James but got overridden by my husband. We love the name Blake because it's kind of unique but it's also strong. You guys are so cute!! Looking forward to seeing Baby de Force!! 💕
P.s. I also love the name Raina!!
Lyra was on my list......because of His dark materials too. Our little girl was born last week and her name is one no one has heard of. It's really nice to have an unusual name.
Lots of your names were on our list.
Seren also means star in Welsh :)
Such a pretty name! xo
I quite like boys names for girls as well, and Blake was actually on my list (Blake Rachelle), but my husband vetoed that idea long before we were married.. Haha I feel you on wanting names that are different! I’ve had to let go of a lot of names I really like, as they’ve risen to popularity over the years. So excited to find out what y’all have decided to name your little girl!!
Hi Fleur, my name is Lyra!
Omg AWESOME! Such a gorgeous name - super cool to hear from someone who has it! xo
Beautiful name!!
my favouite name and iv never come across someone with it!
Come and meet me then!
Lyra H my name to😂
You both are absolutely adorable! My daughter's name is Estelle Louise, and she's certainly our little star. Congrats on your pregnancy!
First thing I thought when she said that she was having a girl
Isabella “Bella” de force!
Probably wrong
I'm with Fleur on Tarquin. Major throwback but it makes me think of Keeping Up Appearances (Sheridan's "friend" was called Tarquin and I've hated it ever since)
“India” that British Imperialism though LOL
Watching Mike drink his tea is life and more
It’s so interesting how y’all say ‘Xavier’... much prettier with an English accent. Here in Southern Texas we pronounce it ‘Ex-ay-vier’
I pronounce it ex zay v er
Xavier is a Catalan name which is actually pronounced as Shavier in here! It's so cool you like the name!!
Loved this video... I think your little girl will be called Beau
Love Mike's Imogen & Xavier ( 2 strong , timeless names ) . You both look very happy & your precious baby is already blessed to have such loving parents 🐣🐣
Isla is HUGELY popular in Scotland.
Estelle and Seren also mean star, wonder if it's one of those!
This was pretty funny - my grandchildren (twin boys) are Logan & Luke. Named after Wolverine & Luke Skywalker - and I'm being serious!!
Haha this is awesome! xo
Angel Persephone Armogida Cool, I love the Soul series! Which character did you name your daughter after, out of interest? :)
Angel Persephone Armogida Ah, I love the name (and character!) Talim. I wasn't aware of its meaning or origin before either, so thanks for letting me know! I find name meanings so interesting. 😊
Awww great to see you both. Marnie is a 1964 American psychological thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock...was that why you liked it? Or was it because it was like Hermione?
I'm so excited to find out the name of your baby...which I know is a bit weird lol, my daughter is called Lyla 😍
Your hair is fab I love the colour and style😍😍
Thanks Brid ! xo
I suspect they’ll end up naming their baby something like Parker or Harper with a more traditionally feminine middle name
Molly McLaughlin Parker is a definite possibility, good thinking!
Molly McLaughlin it might be James❤🔷😂
Such a cute video! Can’t wait to see gorgeous baby DeForce! Would LOVE to know the font you used in this video Fleur! Xx
Most people names Mercedes are not named after the car... it's a traditional Spanish/Portuguese name!
TheBonjim yeah the car brand is only called Mercedes bc that was the founders daughters name so he named it after her
TheBonjim the traditional Maria de Mercedes!
I agree that some names are traditional in different cultures have an English association that throws it off now.
It's a stripper name
Loving the way you present the names.😍
My top boy names are 1. Nathaniel 2. William 3. Alexander, very traditional I know and girl names are 1. Callie 2. Rose 3. Lily :D
The sequel to the His Dark Materials trilogy is out this week. I loved your choices for names. Really lovely names.
I'm guessing Blair is the name of the baby!
Naa, they wouldn't choose anything with political connotations. I met a lovely woman the other day who's a very left-wing & environmentally minded Labour party supporter called Reagan. Felt quite sorry for her!
Missy Maykis | i think Blair is more common in the US.
Missy Maykis I think James😍❤
Absolutely adore to see you two together.
Forget Lola. All older generations will think about is that she was a showgirl with yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there...
Tom Ripley I just don't like Lola, personally.
Doesn't Lola end up being a man in the song? 😳
Hahah I'm 22 and I immediately thought of that been they said Lola.
I'm thinking Paloma or wren for middle name. Not to sure on first! Whatever it is she will be truly blessed I think different names are lovely and an individual touch x
Mike, I had to interrupt this video to tell you to go watch Keeping Up Appearances and see if you still like the name Tarquin for a boy after that. LOL Ok back to the video.
Carrie-Lee Hurzeler Haha, could be worse, could be Onslow! :P
Oh my god! I was so happy to see you liked Marnie - which is my name! my parents hated the spelling with the E on the end so mine is spelt with just the I like Marni :) I used to hate my name but now I really like it as i've never met another Marni and always seem to get compliments on it! Congratulations and can't wait to see what you name your baby! xxxx
I love the name India-Rose!!
Lyra is a constellation !! I know it from Northern Lights too and it’s so pretty Mike what u playing at
india
imogen
lola
lyra
delilah
marnie
tarquin
xavier (pronounced zay-vee-uh, not za-vee-uh)
logan
finn
blake
jackson
I'm genuinely surprised at both of your name choices! Naughty of me to assume you'd both like strong traditional names! You think exactly like myself and even if you like common names you don't want your child to have the same name as millions as others. And a few in their School class etc.
Choosing both of our daughters names was so hard. I love unique names yet not weird so that people don't know how to spell or pronounce it. I'm so curious to find out your baby name choice now!
Also you Fleur have a love for stars like myself and our 1st born has a name relating to a shooting star. But you mentioned Stella & it reminded me of Esteè & Essie as name options which are both star related⭐️
Like I've not typed enough I just wanted to say the happiness and love between you both was so evident just watching through my phone. I'm so happy for you both!!💗xx
Thanks so much for this comment Lorette! I didn't realise how many star names there are! Love you guys for pointing them all out :) xo
baby name linked with a month. May De Force :-p You must have heard this before ;-)
OMG YES!
LOLLL
arankahes 😂😂😂👌
haha so cute! love it when you tease Mike haha good luck and God bless on your pregnancy, Fleur! xo
Thanks so much Abee :) xo
