Back with our fave three names...

Thanks for all your help. We have finally agreed on our top three names...

Girl names:
Clara Carter
Claudia Carter
Felicity Carter

Boy names:
Felix Carter
Edward Carter
Fabian Carter

(Yes Casper has gone 😩 DH didn't love)

Please could you pick your favourite names/order them from favourite to least favourite.

We are now thinking of not using a middle name, because who uses them anyway and the alliteration names definitely don't need to be broken up 😍

Clara and Edward. Clara is a beautiful name.

A girl I went to school with was felicity and shortened it to Fizzy. Which when combined with her surname made her sound like a sweet. It put me right off the name. Felix makes me think of a cat. Sorry.

blondie87 · 21/07/2020 16:50

I love love love your girls’ names. All were in my list!
I think Claudia and Felicity are my top.
Out of the boys, definitely Edward.

Fabian was a teenage star in the late 50's and 60's.
I see nothing wrong with it.

TheVanguardSix · 21/07/2020 16:48

Felicity and Felix

MondeoFan · 21/07/2020 16:47

Claudia
Edward

Can't stand Felix
Felicity a bit too popular around here

userabcname · 21/07/2020 16:45

Felicity and Felix

Poppydaisie · 21/07/2020 16:40

Would you want to be a teenage boy called Fabian?

Yes, I love it!

Sojo88 · 21/07/2020 16:23

I prefer Felicity and Felix - I know it's not ideal two siblings having the same initials because of mail but I don't think that would be a reason not to give them those names if you wanted them.

joyjester · 21/07/2020 16:21

Clara carter..what a fabulous name!

autumnkate · 21/07/2020 16:15

Like Claudia a lot.

Strongly dislike Fabian. Would you want to
be a teenage boy called Fabian?

LadyCatStark · 21/07/2020 16:03

I don’t like the alliteration or the repetition of the ‘ar’ sound. I do love Felicity.

I like all of the boy names so no help sorry!

DramaAlpaca · 21/07/2020 15:57

In order of preference:

Felicity
Claudia
Clara

Edward
Fabian
Felix

elfran · 21/07/2020 15:52

For a girl, Felicity or Claudia.
Love the alliteration of Claudia Carter but prefer Felicity as a name. Clara Carter is somehow too much alliteration for me (also I hate the name, sorry).

For a boy, Felix.

madcow88 · 21/07/2020 15:50

Felicity

Felix

Beeinthecountry · 21/07/2020 15:39

Clara and Edward

sunrainwind · 21/07/2020 15:39

I like Clara and Edward (don't like Ted or Teddy though if you're thinking of this route). I am not so keen on the other names but Clara and Edward are lovely.

cptartapp · 21/07/2020 15:37

Love Edward in its entirety. No contrived nn. Don't like the other boys names at all. Fabian is too effeminate to my ears.
Felicity.

CLara/Claudia.

daisypond · 21/07/2020 15:35

Claudia. Clara doesn’t sound right with the surname. It’s a bit nothingy. Felicity is fine.
Any of the boys’ names. Probably Edward.

octoberfarm · 21/07/2020 15:35

Absolutely adore Clara Carter, and love Edward Carter too!

Poppydaisie · 21/07/2020 15:31

Clara and Edward.

Don't like Felix

Itsallthedramamick · 21/07/2020 15:31

Order of preference:
Felicity
Clara
Claudia

Felix
Edward
Fabian

Personally not keen on Claudia or Fabian at all. Really like the other four

TooBusyBeingYoursToFall · 21/07/2020 15:31

Clara is my favourite girls name but it sounds ridiculous with the surname, so I'd go with Felicity.

I like Edward and Fabian, but not Felix.

AteAllTheAfterEights · 21/07/2020 15:29

Clara or Felicity
Edward if you’ll use Ted

Pippilangstrumpfie · 21/07/2020 15:29

Felicity and Fabian!

undercoverhero74 · 21/07/2020 15:26

Felicity and Felix 😊
