Loving Lisbeth too.

Most of the names listed here seem, to me, to be quite 'old lady cute' - not sure why that makes them pretentious tbh.

i haven't met a monty! and am 40 but i don't work within the banking or government

MrsCampbellBlack · 14/04/2011 22:06

Monty is a lovely name - DS2's middle name is Montgomery - how terribly pretentious of us Wink

Its also gaining popularity so I don't think he'll find it too cumbersome when older.

I like lots of the names suggested particularly Clementine or am very fond of Cordelia or Beatrice.

And I do think its off to comment on the name of a child whose already named as opposed to pondering on names for an as yet unborn child.

But baby names tends to be worse than AIBU in my opinion for nasty comments.

Oh and I have an uncle Monty. He's got through life fine!Hmm

Love Clementine, but is it pronounced Clementeen or Clementyne? Which one is a small tangerine?!

I know a Clementeen and she's knows as Clemmie which I think is very sweet.

Monty Hall is my favourite, he was the inspiration behind the name...

I loved Monty but DH vetoed it and we ended up with Felix for DC3. Don't know how old Monty is and how many kids you mix with but Ella is a prolifically used and is verging on the common (although not neccessarily chav). My suggestion which has already been recommended is Kitty. That 'type' of name is my very favourite type.

MrsCampbellBlack · 14/04/2011 22:19

Oh I love Kitty!

suwoo · 14/04/2011 22:23

Felix would have been Kitty if he were a girl.

washngo · 14/04/2011 22:28

I know a lovely monty whose sister is Stella. And I think monty is a brilliant name.

southeastastra · 14/04/2011 22:29

felix is weird too, another world

MrsCampbellBlack · 14/04/2011 22:30

You see I know Montys, Felixes, Stellas, Clementines - they're the norm round here.
