Huge testicles

I’m now only going to hear ‘huge testicles’ when I hear Reginald now.

In the voice of the lady from Love Actually who describes Martine Mcutcheon’s thighs.

Marianne ❤️

I like all your girls’ names bar Alyssa and Marielle.

I like all your boys’ names bar Sean, and maybe Reginald for being a bit much.

[BoudicasBoudoir]

You see, I think Marianne is quite pretty. I think of Sense and Sensibility. And it’s unusual nowadays.

I only like Irene when the final ‘e’ is pronounced. Otherwise it’s one of those (to me unpleasant-sounding) ‘reen’ names like Doreen, Noreen. Margarine.

Out of your other names I personally would use:
Iris (though would hesitate because I know three), Frances, Elizabeth, Jean.
John

[MikeUniformMike]

-Marianne - ok
-Irene - Ireenie pronunciation is nice, Ireen not so
-Iris - ok

• Frances - ok
• Francesca - ok
• Martha - ok
• Elizabeth - good

-Elsa - ok but Frozen might want to make you let it go
-Bethany - ok
-Alyssa - ok, but may mean that it gets mixed up with Alicia, Alisha.
-Jean - Jeannie is so cute
-Dorothy - Dot/Dotty as nn is fab
-Marielle - ok

• Georgia - ok

• Anthony - good
• Francis - ok

-John - good

• Sean - if Irish, otherwise use John
• Albert - no

-Daniel - ok

• Reginald - Reggie is quite popular

Elizabeth and Daniel

I like Elsa but with frozen 2 just out might seem like you named her after the character. I don't mind Bethany and Alyssa - Alicia (pronounced A-liss-e-a) is also nice.

[EleanorShellstrop100]

I like Iris, Martha, Bethany and Albert. Daniel is fine.
