I like Cecily, Charlotte and Matilda for girls and Cedric, August and Rafferty for boys

I actually just said to my husband can we have another boy so I can use that name. I once had a little spare EDF foam guy that came with the post and I named him Cedric. Had him for years until he broke

I like Matilda for a girl and Cedric for a boy

girls:
Beatrice - fine
Cecily - ok but not keen on the cess sound. Cess pit
Giselle - Jizz Elle
Cordelia - ok but a bit long
Charlotte - nice
Felicity - too long
Matilda - ok but a bit overused
Romilly - don't like it
Rosabel/Roselyne/Rosamund/Rosina
Laetitia - ok, but will get Letitia a lot
Bridget - like

boys:
Cedric - no. Eric or Cyril is ok though
Magnus - like
Roland - like
Percy - not sure
Frederick - Freddie is ok but it's a bit past its best
August - Au Gust or like the month? Too similar to Disgust
Clarence - no. Laurence is better
Rafferty - seems a bit downmarket

I love Cecily and Cedric! But all your names are lovely.
