Hi,

We've finally got a shortlist, and I thought I'd see what people here thought Smile Please can you let me know if there are any you particularly like on my lists? I like classic names but preferably not very common (I live in south East London and lots of Harry's, Isabelle's and Leo's).

Madeleine
Beatrix
Genevieve
Neve/Neave
Isabelle

Alexander
Sebastian

Thanks so much

Madeleine (although not mad about Maddy, maybe Della?!) or Beatrix nn Bea for a girl

Alexander for a boy nn Sandy

CakeRattleandRoll · 09/08/2015 16:38

Genevieve for a girl.
Not keen on Sebastian, and would only use Alexander with nn Xander or Sandy. Just personal preference though.

Sebastian for a boy.

A lovely list.

Alexander and Sebastian are both lovely.

Your girls names are great with the exception of Neve/Niamh

GilbertBlytheWouldGetIt · 09/08/2015 18:57

Beatrix (Bea)

Alexander

Beatrix and Alexander

Genevieve and Alexander are both on our shortlist!

I love Isabelle but would never use it as I know loads. Madeleine I also love but unfortunately can never quite shake the McCann connection Sad. Neve is also nice.

Not really keen on Beatrix or Sebastian.

Don't like Beatrix at all.

Niamh is fine, good but not particularly great.

Genevieve and Alexander x

Only ones I think are not common are Beatrix and Genevieve. I prefer Beatrix out of those two. Neve is lovely (I'd go for that rather than the Irish spelling which would have to be spelt out), but is v. close to Eve/Evie/Ava etc. etc. which abound. Madeleine and Isabelle in all their variations are pretty common. As are Alexander and Sebastian. Lovely names, but don't think you'd get your not too common criteria.

I would go with Genevieve and Alexander, for short it would be Viva and Sandy (the Scottish nn for Alexander).
