[CandyCaner]

I'm not keen on your boys names I'm afraid. Jasper at a push, maybe.

Your girls names are nice. I love Mina. Margaret and Adelaide are also lovely names.

[lottiegb]

Like Felix and Andrew a lot, Harvey ok, not keen on others (didn't know Reed was a name).

Like Martha and Willa, Adelaide (Ada) was my Grandma, maybe it's time for a comeback!

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Only like Andrew from your boys' list; maybe Jasper at a push. Reed and Harvey are not nice at all, sorry.

Like Margaret (Meg?) and Martha a lot.

[AnotherMincepie]

Harvey - too surnamey
Jasper - like
Felix - like, but you do already have a Felicity
Ethan - like
Andrew - like
Reed - a surname or piece of grass

Margaret - OK for an older lady
Martha - dull
Adelaide - Australian place, how about Adele?
Mina - dislike, but how about Nina?
Willa - too male-sounding, like William
Monica - like

How about

Ethan Jasper
Monica Ruby

[minipie]

Welll it doesn't really matter what name you choose since judging by your first three it will be called something completely different as a nickname anyway!

However - I like Felix and Ethan for a boy and Margaret, Martha and Mina for a girl. The others are all ok except Willa which I really dislike.

[SoupDragon]

No to Willa (seriously?!) and Reed.

The other are fine, if not to my taste.

[lurkinginthebackground]

I like Etan and Adelaide best.

[smithfox]

DP would want Margaret as Greta/Gretel while I would push for Maggie or Meg

fair point minipie DS1 is the V hence quincy (we live in the states and it is much more common there - nn relating to number - it has only ever been a thing back here in UK eg DPs dads is a Trey and DP is Ivy). Glax because DP wanted Logan I wanted Alex so he got both. Lenka comes from Lena - which obviously is a nn for Helena.

Thanks

[teddiegoestopeckham]

Harvey - no
Jasper - like
Felix - no
Ethan - like
Andrew - like
Reed - like (goes with Logan)

Girls

Margaret - no
Martha - maybe
Adelaide - like
Mina - yes
Willa - really like (could you go with Willhelmina then have option of Mina or Willa?)
Monica - maybe

[mathanxiety]

Love Felix, Margaret (especially with Greta as the NN) and Willa (maybe Willa or Mina here could start as Wilhelmina).

Harvey is a bit middle aged Hollywood producer or very horsey English to my ears.
Jasper is a dog name.
Ethan has a sound like wind whistling under a door, imo.
Andrew is not so bad but I can't think of any NN that would match up to the ones you have already (maybe I'm just not trying hard enough).
Reed is very insipid beside the names you already have, and very different in feel.

Martha summons up images of Mrs George Washington for me, and clucking hens.
Adelaide always makes me think someone needs to have their adenoids removed so their dose wod't soud so stuffed.
Mina -- maybe nice as a NN.
Monica -- Friends and White House Interns.

[smother]

mathanxiety have you ever thought of changing your nn to marthanxiety?

[mathanxiety]

twould be appropriate. I've been called Martha for short by some MNers on occasion.

[smother]

seems your anxiety relates to a deep-seated fear of clucking hens!

[imightbeaspy]

I like:

Felix
Ethan
Andrew
Martha
Adelaide
or agree on the Wilhelmina thing

[proudfoot]

Jasper and Martha

[elephantsgomarching]

Andrew or Ethan and Mina or Martha
