Cecily or Magnus.
Also throwing in Celia.

I love all of these - what great choices!
I'd only hesitate on Matilda because it's quite common now, but it's still a nice name.

bergamotorange · 05/07/2024 07:42

I vote for Romilly and Emil.

StormingNorman · 05/07/2024 07:42

Cordelia and Frederick

MissedItByThisMuch · 05/07/2024 07:40

They’re all perfectly fine names, none terrible.

That said you asked for opinions so:
I love Cecily and Romilly, like Cordelia, Matilda is ok.
Love Frederick, like Magnus, other boys names not to my taste.

Matilda- love
Cordelia- not for me
Cecily- ok but not great meaning
Romilly- love, love nn Romy

Magnus- love
Clarence- love but others won’t 😂
Emil- not a fan
Frederick- love
Gustav- not for me

Love your boys names. Love Cordelia for girls but not keen on the others

DustyLee123 · 05/07/2024 07:31

Cecile and Frederick are ok, no to the rest.

KnitnNatterAuntie · 05/07/2024 07:30

Matilda ~ love this name
Cordelia ~ NO!
Cecily ~ quite pretty, but not sure
Romilly ~ very pretty

Magnus ~ not sure
Clarence ~ NO! (reminds me of Clarence the cross-eyed lion!)
Emil ~ NO!
Frederick ~ very nice
Gustav ~ NO!

Matilda is ok but I'm not keen on the others. The boys names aren't very nice to my ear. But it's a personal choice isn't it.

Romilly and Cecily are lovely. Matilda is too common imo, and Cordelia just doesn’t have a nice sound to it, again imo.
Magnus is quite nice, but those other boys names are all terrible, sorry.
