Artemis is a goddess's name, so probs best to avoid for a boy Smile

Agree that this could result in a very long name for your child so maybe a one or two syllable name would be best.
Some of your list are a bit posh for me too!
Saying that I do like Alexander (prefer just Alex) and Georgiana (prefer Georgia).

Hugh
Fraser
Spencer
Amos
Ellis

Eden
Maeve
Iris
Seren
Thea

I thought Artemis was a girl's name. Isn't it the name of a goddess? Nice name though!

What about Hugh?

Lovely name, very underused IMHO.

thehouseoflego · 26/12/2013 08:16

Cosima or Rafferty.

What about Marina for a girl? Always loved this name.

Agree with pp about the form filling..nightmare! Grin

Love most of your names, op, especially Rafferty, Raphael and Ralph for boys and Celeste for girls.

Personally find George a little dull in comparison.

Think about the form filling before you give your child so many names! Grin

Thank you for the reply, Catherine is a lovely name however it is a family name so sadly it's a no go.

George is one of my favourites for a boy but OH thinks it will be over used now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have named their baby George.

2/3 middle names plus double barrelled surname, I'd go with the fewest syllables tbh. I like George for a boy, not sure about the girls names, they are all quite a mouthful. Also all pretty posh! Why about Kate for a girl, you could always do Katherine as 'proper name' but call it Kate day to day?
