Opinions on Mason for a boy or 3 poss girls names

40 replies

ivebeenwaitinginthedarkness · 19/11/2018 22:09

I'm thinking Mason for a boy and stuck between 3 names Alice, Beatrice & Jemima for a girl. DH doesn't seem to mind as long as they take the family middle names which are harmless --dull.

What do you think ?

I much prefer your girl names to boys (I feel the same about girls names being easier!). My order for the girls names would be Alice, then Beatrice, then Jemima last, but all quite nice :)

Mason is a good name for a boy.

Alice, Beatrice & Jemima are all lovely names but Beatrice is my favourite.

All your girls names are nice, particularly like Alice. Afraid I'm not keen on Mason though, it probably is a a name that will date.

Icklepup · 01/12/2018 09:27

I like Alice..
Don't like Mason

ForAMinuteThere · 01/12/2018 09:25

Your girls names are all lovely and classy.

Mason is quite a 'chav' name where I am (east).

LegoPiecesEverywhere · 01/12/2018 07:25

Love all your girls names. Not keen on Mason

I taught a Mason several years ago who nearly made me want to leave the profession. So for me, it has awful connotations. I hate the idea of ‘naughty’ names but it really is the one name where I haven’t come across a pleasant one.

They girls name are lovely, although I think Jemima is a bit too little girly.

Mason sadly has connotations where I live too.

poppet31 · 20/11/2018 14:58

Mason has chavvy connotations around here sadly which would put me off. Shame, as I actually quite like the name. The girls names are all lovely.

MaryShelley1818 · 20/11/2018 14:35

Your girls names are all lovely, Mason is definitely an ‘of the moment’ name that will date. Very popular with traveller families around here.

TheGrassIsGreener3 · 20/11/2018 14:30

Mason is not my cup of tea.

I like Beatrice best out of your girls' names. Alice is very wet fish.

Talkwhilstyouwalk · 20/11/2018 13:00

I don't like Jemima, reminds be of Jemima puddle duck. Other names are good. Mason is not one I used to like but I know one and he's lovely so I do like it now!

RiverTam · 20/11/2018 12:33

Alice is lovely, other twp girls names are OK.

Don't like Mason at all.

ReginaPhalange89 · 20/11/2018 12:28

Not keen on Mason sorry, not sure why though! It's very harsh sounding I think

Of the girls Alice is my favorite! Love Cameron too

RedRoseReb · 20/11/2018 12:24

I've not met one but I don't meet many babies these days!

It was ranked in the 3Os in England and Wales last year.

OhTheRoses · 20/11/2018 12:24

Mason, Gary, Kevin, Wayne, Dean, Jayden. Whatever floats your boat op but Mason seems as though it belongs to a genre thst will both date and categorise.

Trinpy · 20/11/2018 12:21

Mason is my least favourite name ever (no offence to pp who used it for their ds - you'd probably hate my name choices too Grin). It was very popular locally when my eldest ds was born so I've met quite a few and I just think it sounds horrible.

Cameron is lovely. All the girls names are nice but Alice is my favourite.

daisypond · 20/11/2018 12:19

I like Beatrice and Alice. Jemima is fine. Not keen on Mason. Cameron is nice.

ColdCrumpetsAndButter · 20/11/2018 12:17

Mason is not for me I'm afraid.

Really like Beatrice and also Alice.

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 20/11/2018 12:15

The only Mason I know IRL definitely falls in to the naughty boy category - sorry

I like all your girls names

lebkuchenlover · 20/11/2018 12:13

Mason is in fashion?! I've not met a single one..!

RedRoseReb · 20/11/2018 11:31

Mason is very much in fashion now. It's in the top 10 US and we seem to be merging UK naming with theirs.

Personally I don't like names that have come out of nowhere but of course that's why they sound fresh so I do get why others like them.

Cameron is a far better name imo.

lebkuchenlover · 20/11/2018 11:27

I really like your girls names! Beautiful and elegant.

I dislike Mason a lot.

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 20/11/2018 11:26

I'm biased as mason is my ds name and I can assure you it's NOT a naughty boys name
