Which are your favourite from my lists and do you have any to add?

I'd like a name that people on the most part will have heard of but preferably nothing too overused!

Girl:

Beatrice, Edith, Winnie, Mabel, Thora, Gretchen

Boy:

Reggie, Sidney, Emrys, Otto, Bertie, Theo

Mabel and Theo.

MaroonPencil · 18/12/2017 09:12

My very favourites are Edith and Bertie.

17caterpillars1mouse · 18/12/2017 09:10

Beatrice, Edith or Mabel - I think Mabel is my favourite

Emrys from your boys - love it and the Arthurian connection

LeahG94 · 17/12/2017 23:22

Edith and Theo

Edith and Bertie

Beatrice is lovely- Bea for short.
Not keen on any of the boys names I’m afraid.

NannyR · 17/12/2017 21:31

I like Edith and Otto best. Quite like Gretchen too, but prefer Greta.

Wow - it's nice to know that on the whole most of my potential names are liked, it makes me feel more confident about picking one!

Some really lovely suggestions too, thank you Smile

Can't wait to meet baby now and hopefully s/he will just perfectly suit one of the names, and I'll love it (and my husband), and I'll just know that it's the right name, easy peasy right!

Further suggestions and opinions welcome Smile

Otto and Beatrice

Buntysoven · 17/12/2017 20:39

Emrys is gorgeous. Like all your girls names apart from Thora.

Patal · 17/12/2017 18:01

Mabel and Theo are lovely

user1459464195 · 17/12/2017 17:48

I love Gretchen and Emrys and Otto and like Mabel, Theo and Beatrice. Not keen on the other options though, sorry. Each to their own though!

eggandchips5 · 17/12/2017 17:41

Beatrice and BertieSmile

Smoliver · 17/12/2017 17:36

I like Beatrice and Thora from your girls list (Love Thora!). Theo and Reggie from your boys list, although I think those two names are quite popular at the moment.

Other suggestions:

Bridget
Nora
Alma
Dawn

Radley
Benji
Ivan
Leon

PenelopePickle · 17/12/2017 16:28

Good luck OP!

We have chosen Mabel for one of our twins due in the new year, Beatrice was also on the list as well as Bertie and Otto. You have good taste Wink

I’m voting for Beatrice or Otto Smile

Ikeameatballs · 17/12/2017 16:22

Emrys not Embryos!

Ikeameatballs · 17/12/2017 16:22

I don't like Gretchen or Winnie but like all of your other girls names. I think Thora is the least frequently used currently.

I don't like Reggie or Embryos, Theo is lovely but very popular. I'd go with Bertie.

Lentilbaby · 17/12/2017 16:17

Bea and Bertie - cute

glitterbiscuits · 17/12/2017 16:16

Edith
Emrys

CaptainChristmas · 17/12/2017 16:10

I love Beatrice, Mabel and Otto!

Don’t like the others, but really love those three^^.

Chocolatecake12 · 17/12/2017 16:05

From your list I like Beatrice and Sidney
Also similar - Stanley or Isaac for boys
Nancy or Imogen For girls
Good luck

ChocolateCrunch · 17/12/2017 15:59

Mabel or Edith from the girls
Theo or Otto from the boys

I like Greta rather than Gretchen, and Bertie only as a nn for Albert

Do you like Alice, Eliza, Martha or Hugo, Leo, Oscar?

Mrsknackered · 17/12/2017 15:43

Love your boys list. But Otto and Reggie are my favourites.

I can only think of Gretchen Weener from mean girls, so Edith or Thora.
