what are your top 5 girls and boys names?

[lotti37]

hello

what are you top 5 girls and boys names?

Thank you!

lotti

The names I listed were my dc's names and middle names, and a couple of extra boys ones to make up the numbers.

I happen to still love my dc's names, - but some people have favourite names that they wouldn't necessarily USE (too poncey/chavvy/incorrectly spelt/don't go with surname) for a real child, but they are still their top names, iyswim?

i.e Harriet is on my list- I don't have a Harriet, because I have an Elliot and it seemed too similar.

In rl, they may have a jack/chloe etc because they like the name, but given the opportunity they would love to have called their pfb Fifi-Pixie Kayden Nevaeh Persephone, so these are still their favourite names.

or something...

I think it's like this:

like Persephone
like Artemisia
like Cadence
like Sheherezade
used Evie

:)

Fair point Belligerent!

Also, I don't have 10 children and I don't plan on having 10 children so that gives me 7 'fantasy' choices, surely most peoples top ten has 'fantasy' names in the majority and these names won't be used on anyone.

Raphael
Leopold
Augustus
Thaddeus
Willoughby

Theodosia
Henrietta (unlikely to use though, as I'm Harriet)
Primrose
Jessamine
Christabel (unlikely to use though, as DH is Christopher)

These are the types of names I use, my DC are Valentine, Dorothea and Eleonora.

People can label it 'try too hard' if they so wish, they just happen to be the kind of names that DH and I like.

We don't all like names like Chloe, Jack, Olivia etc.

Interesting list of names. Just shows how different our tastes are .

My girls are Niamh, Romilly and Connie

tsc, I have listed my favourite names - the problem being they aren't necessarily my dh's favourite names. He is more of an Emily and Daniel fan. If we had another i would try and get one of my names, but it is more likely that we would have to compromise sadly.
