Simple question

[horsechesnut]

Hi all. Very simply, which do you prefer and why? Thanks!

Girls
Beatrice
Jasmine
Thea
Millie

Boys
Seth
Benjamin
Jasper
Frederick

I like Beatrice and Seth best.
I like nn Bea for Beatrice, just like the way they sound I think and the fact they are not overly popular.

Thea - because I like Dorothea

Benjamin - strong classic name

I quite like Beatrice, it seems timeless and classic.

I love Seth - it's a good strong name.

Thea and Benjamin

Thea - I too like Dorothea. Also, Thea is nice for a child and an adult.

Benjamin - have always loved Ben.

I like Beatrice because it has a nice meaning, is used for a great Shakespearean character, and has a nice nickname.

I like all the boy's names, I like Benjamin best, traditional and nice.

Beatrice and Seth

I have lots of inherent bias, but I like:

Thea (although I have one )
Beatrice - simple and classy, and quite like Bee as a shortening
Frederick (my brother is one - but he is Frederik - no 'c') Think it is different enough, but still classic

I'm in a minority in liking Jasmine best - v. pretty and like Jas for short

Uncontrollably biased for boys as I have a DS called Benjamin. Still love it 10 years on, strong, classic, suits a little boy and a man.

Jasmine and Jasper
