Which are your favourite from my lists and do you have any to add?

I'd like a name that people on the most part will have heard of but preferably nothing too overused!

Girl:

Beatrice, Edith, Winnie, Mabel, Thora, Gretchen

Boy:

Reggie, Sidney, Emrys, Otto, Bertie, Theo

From your list, Beatrice or Mabel for a girl, Theo for a boy.

You say "Winnie", I think "...the Pooh"!

Thanks folks, it's good to have some feedback, I'm so worried about 'naming regret' further down the line Xmas Hmm

I like Beatrice and Thora from the girls' list - I've never come across a Thora in real life. I particularly dislike Winnie, even if it's short for Winifred. And I think Gretchen is awful - sorry. Call her Margarete and Gretchen for a pet name.
Boys' list - I like Theo the most, but only if it's short for Theodore. I'm not keen on the others at all.

All the girls except for Gretchen and only Bertie on the boys.

Good luck and congratulations!!

Exciting times ahead.

Edith and Bertie get my vote.
You still have time op, don't rush too much! Better to get it right

I like Beatrice and Otto. Beatrice and Theo are quite popular where I live

Love your boys list. But Otto and Reggie are my favourites.

I can only think of Gretchen Weener from mean girls, so Edith or Thora.

Mabel or Edith from the girls
Theo or Otto from the boys

I like Greta rather than Gretchen, and Bertie only as a nn for Albert

Do you like Alice, Eliza, Martha or Hugo, Leo, Oscar?

I don't like Gretchen or Winnie but like all of your other girls names. I think Thora is the least frequently used currently.

I don't like Reggie or Embryos, Theo is lovely but very popular. I'd go with Bertie.

Emrys not Embryos!

Good luck OP!

We have chosen Mabel for one of our twins due in the new year, Beatrice was also on the list as well as Bertie and Otto. You have good taste Wink

I’m voting for Beatrice or Otto Smile

I like Beatrice and Thora from your girls list (Love Thora!). Theo and Reggie from your boys list, although I think those two names are quite popular at the moment.
