Francis and Clemence, nn Clem. I would have said Gregory but I know one and he's a dick.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/10/2016 22:01

I like Gregory and Francis.

Don't like any of the girls names, sorry.

Floralnomad · 29/10/2016 22:00

Not keen on any of the boy choices and Cressida for the girl choice .

JasperDamerel · 29/10/2016 21:59

Francis and Cressida, with Henry and Clemence close runners-up.

SpunkyMummy · 29/10/2016 21:57

Gregory and Henry
Cressida and Clemence

Henry and Olivia but I really don't like any of them. Francis I really really don't like.

Allalonenow · 29/10/2016 21:54

All lovely except Henry and Rosalba. Rosalba would be sure to get Rose as a nn and there are already enough Roses, and Henry is just a bit boring.

My favourites are Cressida (absolutely fabulous) and Gregory (wonderful strong name).

LadyMetroland · 29/10/2016 21:53

Francis and Clemence

they'd become Frank and Clemmie

pronounced ROZ-ALBA... Its the Italian version of Rose basically. My grandmother is Italian and mentioned it as an idea and I loved it.

Francis (have always loved it, along with Frances for a girl)
Clemence. Love it too.

MotherDuckSaid · 29/10/2016 21:15

Love Francis ,
How would u pronounce Rosalba? I adore Rose & Alba as single names

maybethedayafter · 29/10/2016 21:13

How about Frances? The female version, for a girl.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 29/10/2016 21:13

Francis and Rosalba.

PunkAssMoFo · 29/10/2016 21:12

I like
Gregory, Henry and Leonard.

The girls' names don't float my boat, But Frances/Francesca would be nice.

I was thinking Clemence because I like Florence but my best friend has just called her little girl Florence so thats out of the running.

Gregory (Although I prefer Gregor) and Francis

Don't love any of the girls names, Olivia is a nice name though.

maybethedayafter · 29/10/2016 21:10

Francis is lovely.

Olivia is my favourite girls name from the list but it was a bit too popular for me so we went for a similar alternative instead.

LockedOutOfMN · 29/10/2016 21:09

Henry
Cressida

PaperdollCartoon · 29/10/2016 21:08

Henry and Cressida

Have you considered Clemency? Prettier than Clemence.
