[Haribosmummy]

I love Beatrice and Martha.

my SIL has just named her baby Phoebe - i think it is avery 'in' name at the mo!

For boys, I like all the names apart from Seth.

[LaDiDaDi]

Florence - not for me and it doesn't really fit with the other girls names imo.
Daisy - I like it and I think it goes well with Tilly and Scarlett.
Stella - nice but sounds a bit too much like Tilly and Scarlett iyswim, a bit like you merged them together
Beatrice - nice but not convinced it goes withTilly and Scarlett (don't know f this matters to you btw but it would to me).
Martha - Great, good name that goes with the others.
Phoebe - Great, again good name that goes with the others.
Heidi - I can't get past the fact that Kerry Katona has a child with this name. Sorry.

I like all of your oys name choices and think that they all would go with their sibs names.

[janeite]

Lovely names for your dds.

I like Florence, Daisy, Beatrice and Martha from your girls' list.
I don't like Heidi and really dislike Stella.

I don't much like any of the boys' names, sorry but if I had to pick one it would be Alexander. Seth and Fraser are particularly bad imho.

[19fran76]

Like: Florence, Stella, Beatrice, Seth, Rufus.

Don't like: Heidi, Fergus, Fraser.

Neutral on the rest.

[Tillyscoutsmum]

Thanks for the comments so far.

I do like Daisy but worry it would be more suited to a delicate flower like girl (dd was a 10lber and 98th centile so has never really been delicate )

I like Stella but not sure I can get past the Artois connotations

The KK issue with Heidi is acknowledged and noted

We are not Scottish but our surname is...

Keep 'em coming. Thanks

[hester]

Stella, Martha, Seth are really great.

[suwoo]

I'm no good to you. I like them all .
Favourites are Martha and Rufus.

[nevergoogledragonbutter]

Florence and Alexander

[EyeballshasManBoobs]

Stella
Beatrice
Phoebe
Heidi

Fergus
Fraser
Alexander
Finlay

[19fran76]

Ha! Hadn't considered the Artois vibe. Have noticed a lot of flower names for baby girls of late so another pick may work better anyhoo

[nevergoogledragonbutter]

congratulations btw tsm, great news.

i think your girls name list needs more work though. what else you got?

[wotulookinat]

Florence - nice name, like it.
Daisy - no, unless you are having a cow.
Stella - beer. No.
Beatrice - royal family. No.
Martha - my middle name. It is ok.
Phoebe - nice name.
Heidi - yes, I like it.

Fergus - no no no
Fraser - it's ok.
Alexander - yes, that's nice
Seth - no, I wouldn't use it.
Finlay - the fire engine...
Rufus - are you having a dog?

[Tillyscoutsmum]

Thanks DB Don't know - help me out. I quite like Claudia ? Sophia ? but its definitely girls names we're struggling with

[nevergoogledragonbutter]

oh dear, we have different taste i'm afraid.
i'm not into names that end with -a, -ie, -y.
they don't sound strong enough to me.

[mooseloose]

I can't say Seth without a bit of a lisp! Like Finlay. Like Florence Martha and daisy. Stella nice but doesn't go with the dc so nicely.

[Tillyscoutsmum]

ah - most of my favourites end in -ie or -y but I want to try and avoid them because I think they sound a bit twee with Tilly

Hey ho - maybe it will be a boy and we can call it Lance, Cavendish or Cadel and be done with it

[nevergoogledragonbutter]

now we're talking, cadel is fab.
