A and G names

[mummypontipine]

trying to conceive anf for family reasons would really like a boys name beging with a or a girls name begiining with G
other criteria include not in top 50 ideally not in top 100 . unusual but not weird .not popular in the recent past that is last 30 to 40 years . dh insists not poncey for either sex

so far i have for boys
algernon nn algie i relly like this
ambrose i like dh does not
abraham
alfred not alfie if neceesry nn freddie but would probably end up as alfie


and for girls
gladys i love dh loathes
gertrude too cruel ?
genevieve dh thinks too poncey i like
giselle
gerda
greta
gretchen
gwendoline /gwendolyn

gussie as a nn for augusta

any other suggestions

[EnSuiteShed]

Boys - Not that keen on any of the boys, but if I had to choose it would be Abraham, shortened to Abe.

Archibald?
Aristotle?

Girls - please don't call your daughter Gertrude.

Love Genevieve and Giselle.

Is gretchen not a character from Warhammer - what about Gretel?

Gussie makes me think of gusset.

What about Gwyn? Glynda? Gillian?

[Hedwig3]

I like Abraham and Ambrose or...

Austin?

I like Gerda (if pronounced Gare-da rather than Gurda) and Greta or...

Gail?

[mummypontipine]

not keen on gillian know too many in their 30's and 40's
gailis lovely never thought of that

[mummypontipine]

the problem with girls g names seems that most are very harsh or old ladyish (if not plain ugly )eg gladys or gertrude or very popular either now or in my generation eg gemma ,grace and gillian and very little in between

a names for boys not nearly as much of a problem .atticus is lovely but i'm not brave enough also ashton , asher and ardal might work (we have an irish heritage )

[SameOldJollster]

how funny
my dad was an A - Arthur
my mum a G - Genevieve

I have siblings Gregory, Geraldine and Georgina... I was nearly Giselle or Gemma...

my faves would be Adam for a boy, and probably Genevieve for a girl.

[mummypontipine]

i love genevieve and am also strangely drawn to geraldine (although the vicar of dibley springs to mind)

[MarioandLuigi]

Grace
Georgia
Gabrielle
Gabriella

[timetosmile]

No idea what would be in the top 50...
but here goes
A - Adam, Aiden (the coolest celtic saint) Asher
G - Grace, erm....it IS tricky!

[mummypontipine]

can't use gabriella as we have a dn gabriel and it would cause confusion
arthur ,adam and grace lovely but know to many

[mummypontipine]

love aidan but would merge with all the caydens ,haydens etc

[camerondiazepam]

Ginevra would get my vote.
Or if you'll have Gussie for Augusta how about Ginny for Virginia?
No help on the boys' names I'm afraid, v relieved I have 2 girls!

gertrude too cruel ? -- Yes
genevieve -- I think both frilly and poncey
giselle -- nice, prefer Gisela
gerda -- too frumpy
greta -- LOVE
gretchen -- retching springs to mind, and wretch
