Alice and Arthur are lovely. I don't like Martha or Harriet really but dont know why. Most ppl like them and they are classics. Sid is ok, don't love it but I like it.

3pigsinblanketsandasausagerole · 09/11/2014 13:37

Elliot?

3pigsinblanketsandasausagerole · 09/11/2014 13:38

Argh posted too soon

Not keen on your boys names

Like Harriet though but think it's gonna be very popular

scarletforya · 09/11/2014 13:39

Alice from the girls.

Neither of the boys though.

fancyacupoftea · 09/11/2014 13:40

Martha is my favourite from the girls list.
Really don't like Sid I'm afraid - Arthur is good if you can make it work for you.

IAmAPaleontologist · 09/11/2014 13:40

i love all the girls names. If ds2 had been a girl he would have been Miriam Alice. But he was a boy so he is Arthur .

Only1scoop · 09/11/2014 13:41

Wow how refreshing to see such a great list of names....

I actually like them all

CaulkheadUpNorth · 09/11/2014 13:42

Joseph
Max
Albert

All lovely. Alice and Arthur are my favourites. Not sure about Sid. What about Stanley (Stan)? Harold (Harry)? Howard (Howie)?

Oh I really like Elliot. Thank you!
Sid was dh's contribution. I don't hate it but my least fave of them all.

Oh I like Rowan but maybe a bit wet? Could Rowan be used for a girl?
George is lovely but have a knob of an uncle with the name unfortunately :(
Like Ted! X

I really like all of them apart from Sid. Harriet is lovely, especially with the nn Hattie...

Jaffamoon · 09/11/2014 21:09

Could Harriet have nn Etta or does that not make sense?

OP posts:

Only1scoop · 09/11/2014 21:11

Normally Henrietta

3pigsinblanketsandasausagerole · 09/11/2014 21:13

Etta is a lovely name on its own

Only1scoop · 09/11/2014 21:22

Yes Etta is great like Enid also.

burgatroyd · 10/11/2014 07:59

Hyacinth
Constance
Orson
Peter
Albert

lebkuchenlover · 10/11/2014 08:32

Martha and Arthur are lovely.

How about

Clara
Louisa

Quentin
Dominic

lebkuchenlover · 10/11/2014 08:33

Just don't have both, an Arthur together with a Martha!

eae123 · 10/11/2014 20:38

I'm called Harriet, my sister is Alice and if my parents had another DD she would have been Martha

I love the name Martha and as a child I disliked my name but loved my sister's!

If you are thinking of potential nm's I had Hattie and sometimes Harry (which I hated!) but can't really think of a nm for the other two.

My name has definitely grown on me over the years but all 3 are beautiful!
