Freya and Zach, Esther and Freddie

Freya - Nice, but very much of recent years. How many middle aged Freyas do you know? Suspect it will fall out of favour fairly soon.
Isabel- Lovely. Nn Issy great too. Like that spelling.
Summer- Chavtastic. Eastenders. Nice idea though.
Iris- Murdoch, flower. Somehow rather hard and unattractive though.
Kitty- Hello-, -Cat.

Faye- Awful. Wet, wimpy.
Esther- Hard name. Not attractive. Not sure why.
Jemima- Lovely, but with a lingering hint of puddleduck.

Ralph- Lovely, but only when pronounced Rafe. Correcting mispronounciation for a lifetime would be excrutiating.
Thomas- Classic, although popular. Love, love, love Tom.
Finlay- Like Freya, suspect it will date. Finn though is great.
Peter- ok. Bit boring but classic.
Zachary- Naff. American, particularly when Zak.
Freddie- Fred much better.

Isabel -ditto though I prefer it spelt with an o
Summer - The only one on your list that I dislike.
Iris - pretty and plain in a nice way.

I wonder if we could work out our personality from these results

pmsl at SimpleSusan - many of those are spot on for me!

Freya- As an adult wears long,floral skirts with sensible sandals. Has long unfashionable hair and lives by the sea,with her cat which she took in as a stray. Enjoys painting.
Isabel- highly strung, very thin suspects husband of having an affair, which he is with his secretary.
Summer- hippy chick
Iris- boheimian. Very happy living in expensive town house with husband and several kids.
Kitty- Was a blond curly haired child. But became reclusive after her beloved parents divorced.
Rose- Dark haired, cheerful sort. Seperated from husband but never got around to finalising the divorce. Likes to re-cycle and "make" lots of craft stuff for the house.
Faye- Spent most of her life wishing she was someone else.
Esther- The charity worker
Jemima- Successful children's author. Doesn't care much for her old friends whom she finds rather too common for her new found life as a celebrity.

Ralph- Dark, hansome chap. Always popular and friendly at his public school. Has had several girlfriends but is secretly gay. Has a huge pad in the country where he hosts parties for his male friends.
Thomas- Cheeky as a boy. married and works in insurance.
Finlay- blond haired child.Now has dyed streaks in his hair. Moved around the country with his parents. Has lots of friends but quite unsettled and cannot make a career for himself.
Peter- born to an elder father and younger mother. Continued his childhood love of trains and still has his collection in the converted loft. Still lives with his mother, his father passed away. His mum makes him sandwiches to take to work. Wears a green tank top, glasses and hair parted down the side.
Zachary-The most annoying child in the class. Only his young,pierced, tatooed mother liked him. Grew up to be a looser. Neighbours planning a street party when he is finally evicted from his housing association property.
Freddie- totally annoynomous child. married the first woman who showed any interest. devoted to his child, disillusioned wife refuses to have any more kids to him and is planning to leave as soon as said child is grown up.
Ellis- Good looking with a fashionable girfriend.
Conal- English parents with a vague Irish connectin( 6 generations back)
Rory- became a drop out and sleeps rough
Ezra- Flamboyant, wealthy, single.

I've just read the other comments. I think the most damning is "Peter - nothing springs to mind at all" . Still love it though.

Freya-to much like Friar
Isabel-very pretty, like it, also v. popular
Summer-very of the moment
Iris-nice, unusual flower name and not too too girly
Kitty-quite cool
Rose-a bit dull
Faye-a bit wet
Esther-very grown up
Jemima-I like it though I've heard it referred to as a doll's name.

Ralph-cool name but I do get the Forever association but would another generation?
Thomas-the tank engine
Finlay-nice, Scottish
P eter-underused lovely name imo
Zachary-ok
Freddie-Mercury
Ellis-too girly for me for a boy but then I do like Elliott
Conal-colon

Ezra-very cool name

Ooh, what a great list of names

Freya - v pretty. Less post than it used to be, but not in a bad way!
Isabel - lovely name but there are a lot of them.
Summer -not keen. Too fey and floaty
Iris - ok, like the idea and the flower but not a particularly attractive word
Kitty - nice alternative to/abbreviation for Catherine. Or is it a bit too scullery maid? Not sure.
Rose- nice but used quite a lot atm - not necessarily a problem
Faye - don't like this at all. I hear it in a whiny estuarine accent
Esther - lovely
Jemima - love this name. We almost used it for DD2.

Ralph - nice name but can't avoid thinking of it as a name for a willy (as in Judy Blume's Forever)
Thomas - brilliant name. I have one!
Finlay - good name but it could date - there seem to be a lot of them atm
P eter - lovely name. Rolls off the tongue nicely.
Zachary - v nice name but I think it's a bit chavvy, sorry.
Freddie - lovely but would use it as a shortform of Frederick. Bermuda shorts and pudding-basin haircut and rosy cheeks. Could end up a fat merchant banker though!
Ellis - not keen
Conal - great name. Strong masculine but also creative
Rory - I like this one too.
Ezra - hmm, not so sure. It wouldn't suit many people and you'd have to have a very strong instinct that it was the right name when you meet the baby.

Freya - 2 friends have beautiful little girls called Freya
Isabel - done to death - I know loads!!
Summer - a season
Iris - Old lady
Kitty - a cat. A nickname not a proper name

Freddie - mercury. Big tash, very gay
Ellis - surname
Conal - hate it
Rory - the Racing Car

Jemima - puddleduck
Ralph - great name
Thomas - great name
Finlay - have to agree - fire engine!!
Peter - dont know any and if I had a boy he would be Peter!
Zachary - getting very popular
Freddie - nightmare on elm street.....
Ellis - too much like a surname

Kitty - old fashioned - someone out of an old book?
Rose - like Kitty - prefer the name though
Faye - just don't like it
Esther - too old - and Ransom
Jemima - sounds like an over weight girl for some reason to me

Ralph - too posh
Thomas - like this dd would probably have had this name if she had been ds2
Finlay - don't really like it - don't know why
P eter - again don't like it for some reason - maybe because of Peter Rabbit - sad story
Zachary - I do like this but would probably be shortened which would put me off a little (although so would Thomas of course)
Freddie - nice name but Fred is an old man name so not sure I would go for it
Ellis - too posh again
Conal - hmm - probably not
Rory - too posh
Ezra - girls name

Hope that helps - mind you it is only you and dp that have to like it!

Out of interest gunnerbean what sort of names do you like?
Funny how different people perceive class isn't it? I would not put any of those as middle class really- just quite tradiional.

Oh this is fun! Here goes...

Freya - boring/overdone name used by people who are actually a bit common but think they're a cut above.
Isabel - boring, boring, boring and absolutely done to death - would usually have a brotehr called Thomas.
Summer - kid off Eastenders and a bit common Iris - a sort of "Islington set/trying to be a bit bohemian" name

Kitty - Frightfully middle class and twee.
Rose - Boring done to death middle name that can often be hypenated with other names to make an extremely twee first name (i.e Millie-Rose)
Faye - bland, non-descript and old fashioned
Esther - Middle class and twee
Jemima - horrible and middle class and with a whiff of snob about it.

Ralph - Not too bad but again, a bit "Islington set"
Thomas - Boring, boring, boring, soooo boring & would sit very nicely with Isabel in the sooo boring stakes
Finlay - actually quite a nice name but very common absolutely done to death now - a name very high on the list of "Names Most Commonly Heard Shouted Out in Primark" .
Peter - very 1950s
Zachary - again, not a bad name but not these days - done to death and in the same bracket as Finley (see reference to names shouted out in Primark)
Freddie - Frightfully middle class and twee and in the same bracket as Kitty
Ellis - Not too bad
Conal - Moving swiftly on...
Rory - Yuk! In the same bracket as Kitty, Freddie and Esther

Ralph - Slightly effeminate
Thomas - Nice name but too common
