I like Nancy and Martha for girls

I only like Austin off your boy list. Jasper is a labrador name! Grin

DramaAlpaca · 21/01/2017 20:53

From your girls list I like Olive, Dorothy and Rosa, but not the rest.

I like all your boys names.

RaeSkywalker · 21/01/2017 20:55

I like Wren the most. Really pretty.

Boys- probably Gideon.

I like
Rosa
Nancy
Dorothy.

Don't like any of your boys names, but if I had to make a choice. I'd choose Austin. Gideon is especially horrendous. Reminds me of you know who

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 21/01/2017 21:18

I like;
Austin James and Jasper Louis

Rosa is nice, but prefer Rosalie.
Wren is also lovely.
How about Tess or Willow ?

Raines100 · 21/01/2017 21:25

Love Austin for a boy.
Like Rosa, Martha, Summer, and Wren for girls.
Dislike the rest

Stonewash · 21/01/2017 21:37

My favourites are Dorothy, Summer, Jasper and Austin.

Dorothy Summer H, Summer Dorothy H, Austin Jasper H, or Jasper Austin H. Smile

temporarilyjerry · 21/01/2017 23:30

Like; Rosa, Martha, Wren

Love: Fergus

I used to love Gideon and it was almost DS2's name. I have been put off the name by you know who.

TempsPerdu · 21/01/2017 23:37

Love Rosa. Like Martha, Nancy and Wren. Really dislike Dorothy and Wendy - the others are OK.

Quite like Austin and Jasper. Fergus is meh and I'm afraid I think Gideon is dreadful (partly but not only because of You Know Who!)

AmeliaJack · 21/01/2017 23:43

I like Alba and Fergus.

The others are all very nice but I think the Summer and Wren may date (although that might not bother you)

JournosAreLazy · 21/01/2017 23:56

Dorothy - A bit staid and dull
Rosa - like
Nancy - like
Wendy - really dislike
Olive - not keen
Martha - like
Summer - dislike
Wren - I like it for a middle name but not for a first name
Alba - really really dislike.


Fergus - Like
Jasper - not keen
Gideon - really dislike
Austin - OK

Buntysoven · 22/01/2017 01:06

Nancy and Jasper. Both fab.

CakeRattleandRoll · 22/01/2017 05:50

I really like Rosa, Nancy and Martha for girls and Fergus for boys.

user1477282676 · 22/01/2017 05:51

I can't be doing with Rosa. What's wrong with Rose? It's much nicer imo.

Alba sounds like the TV company.

Horseshoe1 · 22/01/2017 09:17

Martha Wren
Jasper Gideon

cherrycrumblecustard · 22/01/2017 09:22

Martha and Summer are my favourites. I quite like fergus for a boy.

MadameJosephine · 22/01/2017 09:27

Rosa and Fergus, gorgeous names

chipsnmayo · 22/01/2017 09:37

I absolutely adore both Alba and Wren. I quite like Summer as well,

Wendy is bloody awful and belongs in the 1960s, not keen on any of your other girls names.

I also love Austin from your boys list. Don't like any of your other choices, sorry.
