I know it's weird. But I'm not a huge fan of Ks. Hence liking Catherine but not Katherine. And I love V names - Victor, Vinnie, Sylvie, Viv. Anyone else particularly like or dislike certain letters?

Ooh I hate K's too! K's & J's...basically anything with a hard sound.

I love V & B names.

I only realised after we called dd2 Greta that I don't like the letter 'G'! I'm getting over it.

However I really don't like the letter F.

O names. Maybe just because Oliver and Olivia are so popular.

Not particularly keen on a lot of B names.... Bernard, Boris, Beverly, Barbara. I like a few though - Benedict, Bethany spring to mind.

I often like names beginning with vowels!

I am not keen on 'K' sounding names like Crystal, Christy, Christine, Kristin - doesn't matter if they are spelt with a 'C' or a 'K' I don't like that hard 'K' sound. It could be because there are a plethora of people my age here (not UK) with names like these. Although strangely I would consider using the name Caris - seems softer, don't know why. Oh, and I also like names with double consonants (like mine, and DS and DD!). And I like names containing (but not beginning with) 'Z'.

I like V, X and Z, only one of my 4 has a name containing any of those (Levi)

I like M and L names particularly; E and S too. Weird, isn't it? I've even trawled through those pages of baby books specifically!

Not so keen on G or D names. No idea why.
