Harriet is pretty, as is Nathaniel.

I like Sophia but it is VERY popular if you mind that.
Flora and Harriet I do not like at all.

Really dislike William.
I like Nicholas and Nathaniel purely for the nicknames Nico and Nate.

Yes. My favourites are Flora and Nicholas. Least favourite is Nathaniel. I think the two I have mentioned are classic, but not over used.

Lovely names, I like all of them.

I love Flora.

I love William and Nicholas but mainly because of Will and Nick.

Nicholas is fab because it's a well known name but currently not popular.

Dislike Flora a lot, reminds me of butter.
Sophia, lovely but popular if that bothers you.
Personal hatred of Harriet!

William - grand, bit blah imo.
Nicholas - nice, you need to be ok with people calling him Nick or Nicky though.
Nathaniel - nice, you need to be ok with Nate as a nn.

I don't like Nathaniel but I can't explain why. Girls names are all lovely - Flora is my favourite.

Definitely flora and William for me, although Nathaniel is a close second, as is Harriet. My sister is Harriet and I think its lovely shortened to Hattie. Flora was my first choice, but have an f surname 😣

Love them all. Nicholas would def be called Nick which is fine but possibly bit plain (lots of my school friends were called Nick back in the 70s/early 80s so to me it feels a bit like Paul, Simon, Debbie, Karen).

I like Sophia and all the boys names.

SanityClause · 19/03/2016 22:01

I like all the names on your list. One of my DC is called one of the names, so we must have similar taste!

I like Hattie as a nickname for Harriet.

They're all fine names. Not my sort of thing, but perfectly decent names. Good list.

Don't like Flora, can't help thinking of margarine. Love Sophia but there are far too many of them at the minute so I would go with Harriet from your list which is lovely.

Not keen on Nicholas, I quite like Nathaniel but William is one of my favourite names ever, second only to James which is my DS's name.

So Harriet and William for me

They're normal, recognisable names. Nothing offensive or remarkable about any of them.
