Fraser, Martha and Claudia...all lovely

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 25/09/2013 21:53

Hector is lovely. Personally would avoid a vowel at the beginning of mn with Hector though.

pygmy · 25/09/2013 18:33

:) He will definitely be Hector. I think we're going for Hector Aldous.

peachmint · 25/09/2013 14:39

I like Fraser and Tessa.

Hector is fine.

weaselinthenight · 24/09/2013 21:43

Amos and Claudia! But what I like best is OSpencer :-D

InStyle · 24/09/2013 13:52

Love Claudia & Martha.

Not really feeling those boys' names.

Really like Martha.

Worriedformyfriend · 23/09/2013 09:18

Hector and Martha, with Tessa at 2nd. Amos is a surname to me.

Frontdoorstep · 23/09/2013 09:12

I like Tessa and Fraser, but I'm in Scotland, Fraser may not be so great if your n in Scotland.

rachel234 · 23/09/2013 07:07

Amos is great. As is Martha.

Hector is awful, not only due to its meaning (bully, torment) but the lack of nice nicknames (heck?).

absentmindeddooooodles · 22/09/2013 22:00

Hector and tessa. Gorgeous.

Boys....reuben, jude, myles, linus, ....

wiltingfast · 22/09/2013 21:57

Hate Hector sorry! Just such a hard rigid sounding name to my ears, would never go for it.

Like Amos and Cormac much better.

Like all the girls except Saffron. Favourite is Tessa. But really like martha and claudia too thought the lame thing puts me off claudia a teeny bit.

Good luck!

pygmy · 22/09/2013 21:49

My son, due in 3 weeks will be Hector. I like Claudia from your girl list.

lucywiltshire · 22/09/2013 20:58

I love Hector! DS2 was going to be Hector Sholto but it didn't suit him so he is Toby George (neither of which were in our top 20 but literally nothing we had shortlisted suited him!)

SpottedDickandCustard · 22/09/2013 20:40

Love Claudia, Tess (not Tessa!) and Fraser.

Don't like the rest I'm afraid.

JumpingJackSprat · 22/09/2013 20:38

Quite mixed opinions! Does nobody like Hector? It's probably the frontrunner! I know a lot of people don't like it coz of the nagging/bothering associations but I love it! Did just watch Troy last week though!

claudia is gorgeous.

EverythingIsSoThrowback · 22/09/2013 20:28

I love the name Tessa, I think it's a beautiful name, a little cutesy, but not in a bad way (as in, it's not just a baby name).
Again, I like the name Martha, but it is a sad name for me as one of DD1's friends who recently died was called Martha.

For boys, I like Fraser.

Littlecherublegs · 22/09/2013 20:27

That should be just Spencer not OSpencer??!!

Littlecherublegs · 22/09/2013 20:25

Love Amos and Martha!

Cormac and Claudia are ok.

Not keen on the others.

Other suggestions:
Linus
OSpencer
Dexter
Silas

Matilda
Scarlett
Flora
Nina

usualsuspect · 22/09/2013 20:20

Cormac and Tessa.
