Hannah & Albert

RedFox695 · 22/04/2019 22:06

Alice, Esther or Evelyn from your girls names.
Edward, Albert or Francis from your boys names.
Too difficult to choose just one of each! But then I do have a liking for classic / older style names.

Ava Alice is my daughter’s name, so obviously Ava and Alice are my favourites. They are both short, simple, sweet and timeless lovely names.
For boys my favourites are Lewis and Edward! Smilex

bridgetreilly · 20/04/2019 11:02

Albert (Barrie is the most adorable nickname)
Huh? How is Barrie a nickname for Albert? Bertie, surely. Or Albie.

Alice and Theodore

For girls the names I liked on your list were Elizabeth, Hannah, Esther, Alice and Juliet (although I much prefer it with the prettier and more traditional spelling of Juliette). All those names are timeless, classic, work for babies, kids, teenagers and adults. They are also all great names for their versatility, with lots of different nicknames.

I wasn't a fan of the names Frances, Miriam, Eliana or Celeste.

And for the boys I love Robert (totally underused but fantastic name that deserves a comeback), Albert (Barrie is the most adorable nickname), Lewis and Edward.

Not a fan of Francis (too weak sounding and dated), Ezra (for me too biblical) and Ronan (I just think of Keating).

Theodore is a lovely name, but is becoming really trendy. That puts me off because it'll likely to suddenly drop in popularity and sound really dated or common at some point in the next few years.

MollyYouInDangerGirl · 20/04/2019 01:13

Alice, Evangeline, Theodore
