There is nothing quirky about Rae - it's a standard 'filler' middle name that adds nothing but an extra syllable to the first name.

I like less common names and want it to be a bit quirky. Draw the line at spelt correctly but that is all

Think Harriet Martha is beautiful but too sensible for me

Prefer Rae to Beau anyway so would prob have that as middle name

I know of a Seren Beau. The fact it's masculine enrages me. Why not Seren Belle?

I think River and Rain also sound more masculine.

Two combinations jump out at me as being fantastic names:

Seren Hermione and Harriet Martha.

There are lots of pretty names on the list, spoilt by adding Rae or Beau to them.

Really like Martha, Harriet, Esme, Luna, Seren.

Only1scoop · 23/12/2014 09:40

Some nice names there ....minus the Beau's n Rae's

loislines · 23/12/2014 09:39

Like Martha, Esme, Camille, Fleur, Harriet. Mirren is really lovely. Not keen on river, rain etc as names. Beau means handsome - very odd for a girl.

we have quite similar tastes; I really like Ines and Martha, would have used them myself if I'd had more DDs! Quite like Esme, it sounds nice with Rae, which is a lovely, feminine, unusual but-not-too-quirky middle name too.

However, Beau is definitely a boy's name, and not so keen on River or Rain...

ShadowKat · 23/12/2014 09:37

Esme, not Esmeralda. Stupid autocorrect Blush

Not keen on the River / Luna / Indie / Rain type names.

I like Harriet, Esmeralda and Camille.

ArgyMargy · 23/12/2014 09:33

You know beau is masculine, presumably?
