I like Sylvie (not Sylvia), Rosanna & Arianna, Caspar (also love Jasper) & Gabriel - not keen on the others..

[RedastheRose]

Do you like Swallows and Amazons OP?

I like Nancy, Bridget and Serena for a girl and Christopher, Gabriel and Peter for a boy.

[Rockaby]

Red

I started to read Swallows and Amazons when I was little but can't really remember it! Why, have I accidentally picked the names of all the characters? There was a Ruth wasn't there? I'm surprised nobody has mentioned The Bell Jar yet too.

Thanks everyone for comments and thank you for suggestions Through. I love Stanley and Wilfred, but DH vetoed.

[Cestquiluideja]

I like your taste in names.
Harriet, Nancy and Bridget for girls are my favourites from your list.
I like all the boys equally except Caspar which doesn't grab me.
My suggestions are Juliet, Miriam, Hugh and Anthony.

[RedastheRose]

Rockaby there was Nancy (proper name Ruth) and Peggy (Amazons) and John, Susan, Titty (not likely to be used nowadays ) Roger and the baby was Bridget (Swallows) so you've got a couple of the girls.

[RedastheRose]

One of my favourite girls names is Leonie (also from a book) wasn't allowed to use it for my DDs

[CherriesInTheSnow]

I love Nancy but OH hates it, love Caspar but prefer it spelled Casper :) Christopher i's a really lovely name too, classic and strong. And reminds me of Christopher Robin too!

I kind of like Sylvia but think Sylvie is mucharged nicer.

Harriet - very pretty!

For suggestions, in case you have similar tastes to me, Flora is top of my girls list, and Felix is our set in stone boys name.

[onmykneesandsinking]

Love Harriet and Arianna, both on my list.
Other girl's names are nice except Bridget which I hate.

Your boy's names leave me cold though, sorry!

[Rockaby]

Oh I love Juliet and Hugh. DH just pulled a face at Hugh, but likes Juliet .

[CocoLoco87]

Suggest Sybil and Hugo

[SherlockHolmes]

Faves Esther and Lawrence
Worst Bridget and Caspar

I also love Juliet. And Ramona.

[Rockaby]

I really like Felix but can't use it as we already have one in the extended family.

Flora and Ramona are nice too.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Love Bridget, Harriet and Rosanna.
Like Nancy, Sylvia and Esther.
Not keen on Arianna and Serena.

Love Francis and Lawrence.
Like Peter and Patrick.
Not keen on Gabriel, Casper and Christopher.

How about, Rosalie, Miranda or Stella.
Paul, Nicholas, or James.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Juliet is very nice.
Did you like Leontine OP ?

[Sandsnake]

Harriet is my favourite of your girls list, my least favourite is probably Bridget.

I would go for Caspar or Gabriel from the boys list. I think my least favourite is Christopher as it feels a bit 'eighties' to me!

[chipsnmayo]

I love all your girls names other than Nancy, that still seems a little old fashioned to me. However, my favourite girls name is probably Harriet.

Boys names, I really like both Patrick and Gabriel. I also love Christopher but loathe Chris, and I'm in two minds whether Peter is due a revival.

[Rockaby]

Love Rosalie, but DH vetoed. Like Stella but again, have one in the family.

I like Leontine but prefer Leonora which DH vetoed.

I really like Nicholas and James. They were on my longer list but I'm just not sure I'd want to use either of them.

Miranda I can take or leave. I know one IRL who has put me off the name a bit.

[Backhometothenorth]

Love Esther, Harriet, Nancy, Peter and Christopher.

[Rockaby]

If it makes a difference, we would shorten Christopher to Kit or possibly Christie (I know it's hard to plan nns, but I just mean we'd shorten to one of these for as long as possible, before another nn appeared).

[bluechameleon]

Favourites are Harriet and Christopher. How about Eleanor or Tobias?

[OrlandoTheCat]

Bridget????!!! seriously??

Noooooooo.... you can't. please don't.
