[popsicle1984]

Clementine
Octavia
Ivy
Athena
Pearl
Blossom
Tabitha
Skye
India
Savannah

Chester
Balthazar
Roman
Thaddeus
Seth
Saxon
Jasper

What springs to mind immediately? Too chavvy? Too posh? Any suggestions these lists make you think I might like?? So many names!! How do people choose?!

Clementine -- neither posh nor chav, nice
Octavia -- tth on anyone who isn't Italian
Ivy -- a bit twee
Athena -- lovely, old fashioned, elegant
Pearl -- lovely, old fashioned, classic
Blossom -- hippie
Tabitha -- ok
Skye -- trendy in a bad way; has moved beyond hippie into the more plastic earrings/orange foundation parts of mainstream
India -- going downmarket
Savannah -- downmarket/trendy, fashionable as opposed to stylish

Chester -- middle aged or downright old man
Balthazar -- nice, arty
Roman -- nice, international
Thaddeus -- I love this name, very nice
Seth -- hissing of snakes
Saxon -- the name of a child of a white supremacist
Jasper -- pet name (know one dog and one cat with this name)

I like Clementine, Athena and Pearl for girls.
For boys I like Balthazar, Roman and Thaddeus.

No-one seems to have mentioned Skoda Octavias. Please don't give your daughter the same name as a popular family car.

I like Clementine and Roman from your list.

The car will be gone in ten years. Less time probably!

@ mathanxiety, lol at Saxon being the name of the child of a white supremicist. Yes I can see that! yikes. Dislike it even more now.

chester is my dogs name!
Jasper was on my short list for my now boringly named William!

Clementine -> Too posh, name of an orange anyway.
Octavia -> Too posh, name of a car anyway
Ivy -> poison ivy
Athena -> Quite like, would have to be able to carry if off
Pearl -> Old lady/jewel
Blossom -> Strange
Tabitha -> Hate this, OK for cat
Skye -> A bit odd
India -> A country
Savannah -> Not keen

Chester -> Odd
Balthazar -> Extremely odd
Roman -> Chelsea owner!
Thaddeus -> WTF?
Seth -> Emmerdale
Saxon ->
Jasper -> Carrot? Cat?

Actually I don't like any!

My favourite person in the world is a Seth

GIRLS:

Athena is gorgeous.

I like Ivy, Pearl and Skye very much. Simple, unfussy, feminine.

Clementine is sweet, but it does remind me of the orange.

I like Octavia, but it could beseen as a bit pretentious?

I really dislike Tabitha (fussy, prissy, Tabby is an awful nickname), Blossom (frilly, a bit silly) and India/Savannah (sound like something an Eastenders character would call their child). Ivy

The only one I like is Thaddeus. Yes, it is a bit poncy, but it is still cool and I love Thad as a nickname.

The rest are terrible. Balthazar and Saxon are just ponce-gone-mad.

Our dog is called Saxon, cannot imagine it as a human's name at all :o
