I'm losing my mind trying to narrow the lists down further. Surname is Green if that helps.

Alice
Thea
Sadie
Rosie
Anna

Jude
Louis
Henry
William
Rowan

William Green sounds great and is my fave but I also like Henry Green. Less keen on trendier Louis but it’s okay.Jude is very trendy and not my taste. Love Rowan but not sure it works as well with your surname , as it perhaps sounds a bit descriptive ( Rowan Green might sound a bit paint colour?)

For the same reasons, definitely avoid Rosie (plus I find it a bit cutesy to boot). Not very keen on Sadie and Thea as they are quite trendy too. Adore the very classic name Anna but I think equally classic Alice Green sounds the nicest.

Alice or William Green sounds very timeless and suits all ages/backgrounds. Close second choice Henry or Anna Green. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of those four- Henry is only second as it’s going through a bit of a popularity surge at the moment and Anna second as I think Alice somehow looks better with Green.

Jude and Sadie

Alice or Sadie

William or Henry

Not Rosie (paint chart vibes) or Rowan (paint chart/garden centre vibes)

Sadie and William get my votes

Mumofgirls2017 · 05/05/2024 21:49

All absolutely gorgeous names.

by a fraction I’d pick Henry and Alice.

second would be Rowan and Sadie

Sadie is great. I don't think any of the boys names work well with Green, but would have to choose Louis and hope everyone had forgotten Hughie

I love Alice - I’ve got one so I’m biased, but I really think it’s such a beautiful classic and it’s suited her beautifully all the way through to her teens.

Rosie and Anna are also two of my favourites - both classic and beautiful for all ages.

Sadie and Thea are nice too, especially if you want something a little different but still well enough known.

I love that all of your girls names aren’t too frilly, and that they don’t tend to be shortened, they’re simply lovely as they are.

From your boys names I love Louis, Henry and William - handsome classics. I’d probably pick Henry.

Jude and Rowan are a bit too unisex for my personal taste, but nothing at all wrong with that if that’s what you want and like.

Sadie or Anna
Henry or William

My thoughts too @MolkosTeenageAngst . Jude Green seems too abrupt. Louis Green makes me think of Hughie Green.

MolkosTeenageAngst · 05/05/2024 21:28

Rosie and Rowan don’t work with the surname Green.

Shelinaa · 05/05/2024 21:26

They’re all nice, but of the girls names I’d say Sadie or Anna Green.

Alice is fine but a bit boring, Rosie Green sounds like a paint chart, Thea Green is too many ‘EE’s.

Of the boys names, I have a soft spot for William. Will Green sounds like a thoroughly nice bloke.

JimNast · 05/05/2024 21:25

Alice - 1
Thea - 5. don't like it
Sadie - 3
Rosie - - 4. Hue and colour so seems a bit silly
Anna - 2

Jude - 5
Louis - 4
William, Henry -1 (joint 1st), both go well with the surname
Rowan - 3

Love Alice Green and Christian Green (even though it’s not on your list)!
