Any opinions?

I like 6, and 2 from your boys list, not keen on 3 sounds like a star trek fan, and 10 sounds like a boxer. Please not 8!

Your girls names are nice, I probably like 2, 1 and 13 in that order.

Thank you donotfeedmebiscuits What is it about 8 that you really don't like?

8 is my DH's favourite as Cuthbert is the name of the character in his all time favourite book. I really liked it when I'd only discussed it with hubby but everyone else seems to think it's horrible.

Patrick & Stuart are both family names - I'm not a big trekkie lol.

Any more thoughts?

Def not cuthbert silly.Sorry reminds me off him

1. Adeline Charlotte Holmes That's my favorite girl's.

Don't really like any of the boy's, sorry, the least "bad" is 6. George Alexander Holmes.

oh and i thinks it too much for a child and teen to have that name.Just sounds horrible.sorry

I have a 3 month old Cuthbert. Oh how ye laugh. I don't care, it suits him. OP, I like 1, 4 and 5 from the boys list and 1, 3, 4 and 6 from your girls list.

Ooo, it's great to hear that someone else likes Cuthbert. Do you call him Bertie or Cuthbert?

What have peoples' comments been like?

1. Adeline Charlotte Holmes - ok. Prefer Charlotte with Lottie for short. Adele is simpler than Adeline. Actually, Adele is lovely, simple and unusual.
2. Clara Rosalyn Holmes - clara I like, not keen on the middle name there.
3. Georgiana Evelyn Holmes - I like it but Ithink Georgiana is too long. Just Georgia is easier.
4. Rose Catherine Holmes (Rosie)I like Rosemary with Rosie for short. Not crazy about just rose.
5. Matilda Charlotte Holmes (Tilly) no. Frilly faddy name.
6. Beatrice Ivy Holmes (Bea) - lovely.
7. Sylvia Grace Holmes (Sylvie) - lovely
8. Elizabeth Charlotte Holmes (Ellie)- prefer Eliza, or Beth or Libby. But even so, yes to Ellie short for Elizabeth
9. Martha Rosemary Holmes - beautiful.

10. Jemima Catherine Holmes - beautiful 11. Greta Charlotte Holmes - beautiful 12. Francesca Isolde Holmes - no to Francesca - yes to Isolde 13. Rosalyn Charlotte Holmes - no to Rosalyn. Rosemary is far superior!

Boys

1. Tobias Matthew Holmes (Toby) love it
2. Fraser Charlie Patrick Holmes - like it
3. Patrick Stuart Holmes (Patch) - love it
4. Francis James Holmes (Frankie)- love it
5. Emile Matthew Holmes - not sure
6. George Alexander Holmes - ok. Perfectly fine name but not as quirky as your other choices
7. Leonard James Holmes (Leo) - lovely! wdyt of Leopold with Leo for short as well?
8. Cuthbert George Holmes (Bertie) - eh. NO. Bertie Ahern
9. Milo Victor Holmes - Milo is Ok, but Victor is fabulous.

10. Evander George Holmes - no. Just think of that bitten off ear. Sorry.

My daughters name is Evelyn George so i like 3!

I wouldnt worry quite a few people don't like dds name as too popular

I can't really get excited about middle names, but of your first names, I really like Rose, Sylvia and Greta for girls, and Emile for a boy.

My favourites from your list are Clara Rosalyn and George Alexander.

Surely Patch would be more fitting for a puppy?

Just think Cuthbert is setting them up to be bullied, but that might just be where we It's interesting that your girls' names are very classical and your boys names are much more quirky, is that intentional?

Nope, not intentional, just names I like.

Any more opinions?

I think your girls' names are lovely and really like 2, 4 and 6 from your boys' names. You need to have lots of children!

1. Adeline Charlotte Holmes -- very nice, prefer Charlotte Adeline though as it flows better imo.
2. Clara Rosalyn Holmes -- too many Rs running up against each other in the middle. Clara Holmes is very nice.
3. Georgiana Evelyn Holmes -- Georgiana will get that extra R added to the end and Evelyn will become Revelyn. Georgiana is a bit of a mouthful anyway imo. Evelyn Holmes is nice.
4. Rose Catherine Holmes (Rosie) -- really nice.
5. Matilda Charlotte Holmes (Tilly) -- Lovely.
6. Beatrice Ivy Holmes (Bea) -- Lovely.
7. Sylvia Grace Holmes (Sylvie) -- Why not Sylvie Grace? Both lovely, but Sylvie is a perfectly nice name all by itself.
8. Elizabeth Charlotte Holmes (Ellie) -- Too many Ellies. Elizabeth is nice and I love Eliza, but every name that starts with EL has Ellie as a nn, and there are thousands and thousands of them.
9. Martha Rosemary Holmes -- I really dislike the name Martha, but Rosemary is lovely; maybe Rosemary Martha would be nicer.

10. Jemima Catherine Holmes -- Really lovely. 11. Greta Charlotte Holmes -- Gorgeous. 12. Francesca Isolde Holmes Really nice Isolde might look like an estate agent though... 13. Rosalyn Charlotte Holmes -- Really lovely.

4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 13 with no BUTs. The rest nice, but I would change them a bit.

Boys

1. Tobias Matthew Holmes (Toby) -- nice
2. Fraser Charlie Patrick Holmes -- only if Charlie is changed to Charles, nice if so.
3. Patrick Stuart Holmes (Patch) -- Patrick Stuart rings a bell...
4. Francis James Holmes (Frankie) -- LOVE
5. Emile Matthew Holmes -- Emil or Emile too girly
6. George Alexander Holmes -- Very solid, nice name combo
7. Leonard James Holmes (Leo) -- Leo is a nice name that is only related to Leonard in spelling but not in sound. Why not Leo, a fine name in and of itself if you want to use it?
8. Cuthbert George Holmes (Bertie) -- Very nice
9. Milo Victor Holmes more 'now' than the others very nice

10. Evander George Holmes -- lovely

1, 4, 6, 8, 9 -- nice
2 and 7 I would change a bit

Martha Rosemary would be my choice

1. Adeline Charlotte Holmes - don't like Adeline
2. Clara Rosalyn Holmes - nice
3. Georgiana Evelyn Holmes - love Georgiana and Evelyn but I bit of a mouthful together
4. Rose Catherine Holmes (Rosie) - not v excited by Rose: catherine is nice
5. Matilda Charlotte Holmes (Tilly) - nice
6. Beatrice Ivy Holmes (Bea) - love Beatrice but not Ivy
7. Sylvia Grace Holmes (Sylvie) - Sylvie is pretty
8. Elizabeth Charlotte Holmes (Ellie) - lovely
9. Martha Rosemary Holmes - love Martha

10. Jemima Catherine Holmes - don't like Jemima 11. Greta Charlotte Holmes - ok 12. Francesca Isolde Holmes - LOVE Isolde but not Francesca 13. Rosalyn Charlotte Holmes - nice

I think Georgiana Isolde is the nicest but you didn't have that one! :)

2. Fraser Charlie Patrick Holmes - don't like this
3. Patrick Stuart Holmes (Patch) - isn't that an actor?

2. Fraser Charlie Patrick Holmes Okay
3. Patrick Stuart Holmes (Patch) Nice, though would use Pat myself, or Paddy.
4. Francis James Holmes (Frankie) No
5. Emile Matthew Holmes No Way
6. George Alexander Holmes No
7. Leonard James Holmes (Leo) Leo is lovely, not Leonard, just go for Leo.
8. Cuthbert George Holmes (Bertie) Yuk, to both Cuthbert and Bertie
9. Milo Victor Holmes Kids TV character.

Adeline, you must be joking me! Please don't saddle the poor child with that or Georgiana. Charlotte and Francesca are good.

I like Sylvia and Patrick (but not with Stuart).

Sylvia Grace is lovely and Patrick Stuart.

You can spell Adeline with an 'e' instead of an 'i' (Adelene) too - that softens the sound I think.

PS - I know an Adelene (I think Adeline on the birth cert) and I think it's pretty, unusual, can be shortened in lots of pretty ways, and classic all at the same time. Don't know why people don't like it!

Greta, Martha, and Rosalyn all very pretty too.

Don't like the nn Patch for a boy.

You have some pretty amazing names in there! Well done on all that effort and work!
