For a boy I like Peter or Robin

And for a girl I love Emily or Annabelle. I like Annabelle most because it's quite versatile, I could shorten it to Anna, Annie, Bella or Belle. Probably Annie!

What do you think of these four names?

I'm not pregnant but I can dream Blush

I like Robin, but not Peter. Like both Emily and Annabelle.

I like Peter very much but I also like Robin.
I'm not keen on Emily although it is very popular.
Annabel is OK, Annabelle isn't.
I like Ann, Anna and Annie - all are lovely and I would pick one of those not Annabel.

I really like Robin!

I like all your names. Congratulations :)

Peter is loads better than Robin. It's a great name.
I like Annabel, but I am not keen on Annabelle - unless you're French and are going to pronounce it the French way. I'm not keen on Emily, personally.

I like both Peter and Robin (both are on my list! Wink).

I like Annie for a girl.

I love to hear other people's opinions on names!

I see what you mean about Annabelle being frilly, I'm always half and half with Emily. I love it because it's a classic name and reminds me of a teacher I had who is lovely, very naturally pretty and quirky. But then it also feels a little bland.

Clearly we have great taste Blanche Grin

I have a Peter and an Annabel so I think you've chosen some of the best names ever 😂

Sunflower321 · 18/09/2018 18:37

I like Peter and Emily. Classic and elegant.

Annabelle is too frilly.

I love Robin for a boy (or girl), but think both of those girls names are overused now and find them quite boring, sorry. Prefer Annabelle to Emily though😊

Nobody ever likes my boys names Grin the only one I really liked that is a classic name I have used on DS, so now I'm stuck with my weird names for boys!
