I do!!! why did I spell Isaac like that??? Confused

hester · 26/02/2011 20:45

I like Seth and Cleo.

rupaul · 26/02/2011 20:52

Only Felix and Monty for boys. For girls Cleo, Daisy and Phoebe.

Most of the choices put me in mind of the children of a garage proprietor in Essex.

I like Felix, Monty and Max. Dexter and Rex are OK, but I don't like Lennox, Rocco or Seth.

I like Daisy, Phoebe and Tabitha, and Scarlett (with double tt) and Lily (with single l). Cleo is OK as is Izzy if nn for Isabel. I don't like Lexi.

spottyock · 26/02/2011 22:43

My yo dd is Daisy. I love it, obviously. Also really like Tabitha. Scarlett is OK

Boys - like Felix, Rocco and Seth is growing on me. Ma and Dexter are OK.

  • Max

I have a 7 yo lily. There is one other in her school and then I know of a baby lily - plenty of other names are more popular and I still love it.

I also love Cleo and Scarlett from your girls list.

Boys I like Max and Seth. Seth is such a cool name and I only know of one.

Lily is v popular in general, but virtually unknown in prep schools (IME). Lexi is inexcusable (sorry). Monty is great. Seth is dodgy as it's very 2010. Of the girls' names, Tabitha (though that is popular in prep schools. Again IME. Grin).

Boys:

Dexter - ok but not hugely fond
Felix - dislike this, sorry
Monty - nice as nn
Lennox - nope
Max - okay as nn
Rex - awful imho
Rocco - dislike
Seth - I hate this, sorry - but most people on here love it

Girls:

Lilly - don't like the 2 'l' spelling - tis ok as Lily
Cleo - nope
Daisy - yes
Lexi - really don't like this
Izzy - as a nn
Phoebe - not terribly fond
Tabitha - nope
Scarlet - ok

Monty (as a nn) and Daisy get my votes.

Boys:

Dexter: awful
Felix: awful
Monty: awful
Lennox: awful
Max: ok
Rex: awful
Rocco: awful
Seth: ok for a 85 year old Yorkshireman but otherwise awful

Girls:

Lilly: not bad but def should be Lily
Cleo: not bad
Daisy: ok if she's going to be a singer or a painter but not if she's CEO of British Airways
Lexi: No, No, No.
Izzy: No, too common
Phoebe: Poss
Tabitha: a bit prissy
Scarlet: Nice but only for the right child

of course all of the above depend on the surname too.
