Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Okay, you clearly don’t understand what the words mean. I do presume from your name choices and the nameberry/writing my future kids’ names in my notebook feel that you’re quite young though, which explains your attitude.

Kanaloa · 12/06/2022 11:25

Same with class - class is just a way of organising people by how they ‘fit’ in society. I guess you could argue you meant it’s not classy, which probably comes from an association with seeming higher class, but you can’t say people who behave in a way you dislike don’t have class/culture. Class and culture aren’t complimentary words to describe people’s behaviour, that’s not what they mean.

But… you do still have culture. Someone not conforming to your ideas of decency and respect doesn’t mean they don’t have culture. Literally everyone has culture. It’s just basically how you’re influenced by the ideas and behaviours of your societal group. Culture isn’t reserved for good behaviour - everyone has it.

I do mean this kindly, but everyone has class and culture? I presume you mean upper class and the culture that goes with that, which I think is what you’re trying to imitate with those names. But we all have a class we identify with/as. We all have culture.

No I meant common decency and basic respect to other people. If you don't have common decency to rethink your position, or desire to do basic respect to other people who are different than you, then you have zero class and zero culture.

I liked August way before royal was born

I only like Cecily Beatrice as a full name.

I like Juliet and Flora but I'm not sure about as a combo. I don't really like any of the boy names (especially the first two) but Magnus is best (without that middle name).

Toottooot · 12/06/2022 10:14

Just dinna. Peer geet lumbered with any of those names.

Ikeameatballs · 12/06/2022 10:13

I’m really not keen on some of your name combinations so I’m going to comment on individual names.

Boy’s names
August - becoming trendy since Eugenie named her baby. I would avoid as a first name on that basis.
Cedric - I really like
Magnus - I really like
Roland - I’m of an age where I think of Roland Rat or a dog from Eastenders many years ago. I strongly dislike the nn Roly and I don’t think you can definitely prevent this.
Amauray - awful
Hart - ok
Storm - awful

Girl’s names
Cecily/Beatrice/Flora/Juliet/ Charlotte are all pretty, classic names. I think I like Flora best but don’t dislike any of them.
Melusine - ok
Idony - ok

Ideas

Cedric John +/- Hart
Magnus Peter +/- Hart
Laurence Vaughan
Francis Albert

Cecily Jean
Beatrice Melusine
Flora Vivienne
Juliet Idony
Charlotte Luna
Ianthe June

August was used by a royal. It was the subject of much discussion as the baby wasn't born in August. Do you really want to copy the RF? I think Augustus is far better.

Some of your other names are beyond pretentious. I might use them for a dog, but not a child.

Kanaloa · 12/06/2022 09:43

But regardless I still think the names are a bit much. The first names (some of them) are nice, but the middle names together with them sort of give me the impression of a teenager on nameberry deciding what she’ll name her quadruplets and three sets of twins.

Kanaloa · 12/06/2022 09:43

I can't tell if you're being serious or ironic Confused

ChairPose9to5 · 11/06/2022 23:54

August Roland Hart - ok, you have to say AuGUST not AUGust, why roland. I just think rat.
Cedric Amaury Storm - no, poncy, weird, and a bit hunger games.
Magnus Roland - love magnus but stop it with roland.

Cecily Beatrice - I like this, even though it's a lot of esses. It's stil nice
Charlotte Idony - Charlotte is ok, and the other name is too made up sounding. Even if it's not.
Juliet Melusine Flora - Juliet is lovely, my favourite by far. Juliet Flora would get my vote. The other name is weird. Where are you getting these names from. Are they french? Excuse my ignorance but they just sound a bit self conscious up your own derriere et tres comfortable la bas

Are you posh?

What exactly does that mean in 2022??

valerianaofficiana · 11/06/2022 20:46

Only if the names have been in the family for generations. Otherwise desperately, desperately trying too hard.

Kanaloa · 11/06/2022 19:40

They sound very much like a signature from nameberry (where people seem to aim to name their child as if they’re a tragic Brontë hero) rather than names for a child. They’re all very flowery/OTT to me. Try to also take into account that nobody will ever ever call your child Cedric Amaury Storm. They’ll be called Cedric. So just pick the name you like best. For what it’s worth I think they’re all a little pretentious but Charlotte, Juliet, Magnus & August are lovely. It’s just the melodramatic middle names I think are a bit much, but they’ll never be used.

ChagSameachDoreen · 11/06/2022 19:36

They're all extremely pretentious. Individually some of the names are ok (Cecily, Charlotte) but the combinations are too much.

toastofthetown · 11/06/2022 19:15

Some of the replies here are bonkers. Not saying I like all of the names, but imagining that a child wouldn't survive school with a name as inoffensive as Charlotte is beyond me.

SleepingStandingUp · 11/06/2022 18:36

August Roland Hart love 1 and 2 but Hart is a surname not a name
Cedric Amaury Storm 1 and 2 are fine but I think of Storm as a girls name
Magnus Roland dislike Magnus but its fundamentally ok
Cecily Beatrice cute
Charlotte Idony never heard of idony. Is it i-dony or EYE-dony. I like it I think
Juliet Melusine Flora also never heard of Melusine, I wouldn't pick it for a first name but I think the combo is fine
