Sensible names?

I am torn between two totally different lists. One super sensible (boring? Will there be 3000 of them in their class?) And ones that I love but might be a bit too try hard...

I have an unfashionable name and HATE it (no one ever uses the whole thing thankfully) -she is in the Apocrypha and got a dude drunk and cut his head off. Lovely things to associate with a newborn.. (but that's a different rant)

Surname is the same as post (so Royal, Snail and E are out!)

Boys:
Barnaby
Joshua
Toby (maybe)

Asterix
Loki
Zeik

Girls:
Felicity
Emily
Lucy

Luna
Juno
Zelda

I only like your super sensible list

I prefer your sensible boys but uncommon girls. I love Juno. It's not crazy. Asterix is though!

ChocolateCrunch · 23/11/2017 15:47

I much prefer your sensible names and they aren't that common.

I have a Joshua gorgeous name all three of my dc have what’s considered popular names but my dd is he only one in her class and my ds1 is one of three. So it can vary.

From your lists I like:
Joshua
Toby
Felicity
Emily
Luna
Juno

Asterix is the craziest out of those I think haha, reminds me of asterisks which is a grammatical symbol!

I like Toby.

Zelda is amazing, I love it. I also really like Lucy.

Not really fair opinion here as I ain't a fan of out there names
But for me
I love Toby & Joshua
& I love Felicity, Emily & Lucy all these three were on my last dd's name list before she was born Smile
