I really like all of your girls names!

Of your boys names I really like Arthur and Benjamin, really don’t like Theo and Toby, and I’m pretty neutral on Jude

Loveislandaddict · 04/10/2019 19:27

Not keen on Nora (“Nora Batty”), Esther or Arthur. Like the other names especially Felicity and Jude. I see Theo as short for Theodore.

Suggestions:
Harriet
Sadie
Esme
Dulcie
Maud

Benjamin
Barnaby
Edward
Daniel
Samuel
Seth
Giles
Marcus
Julius
Gregory
Douglas

I’m struggling with boys’ names as I have two sons already and have used up all my favourites 😂

Jude is lovely but dislike Judah.

123Dancewithme · 04/10/2019 17:53

Esther and Claudia are lovely. The boys names are a bit bland in comparison.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 04/10/2019 17:38

Only like Claudia out of your girls names.

Only dislike Arthur and Judah out of your boys names. Although I adore Jude.
I love Ben but I’m not overly keen on Benjamin.
