Don't like any of them,
Agree it's trying too hard.

I like Hebe and Dulcie but combined with the middle names it's a bit much.

how about with a plainer/less unusual middle name...?

Rowlers · 06/08/2013 09:18

Well choose whichever names you like! We are all just random strangers, after all.

PoppyAmex · 06/08/2013 09:17

Frigg, I think the combination is just too much, but they could potentially work well with simpler middle names?

What's wrong with them then? We certainly aren't 'try hard' people,we just like these names.

DP prefers Hebe,and I prefer Dulcie.

Individually they're nice names, but together it sounds a bit try hard. Sorry, OP.

And yes Hebe is the Name of a plant and the Godess of youth in Greek mythology.

Dulcie clementine - fantastic name!!

Rowlers · 06/08/2013 09:03

To me they both sound like names from a joke period drama. Sorry don't like either!

What do you mean by different category?

OP posts:
gazzalw · 06/08/2013 08:58

I like all of them except for Hebe - in our family Hebe is grandparents' stone garden statue and isn't it the name of a plant too?

All the others are lovely! I would put Dulcie in a slightly different category of names to Clementine and Theodora though....
