[tessagresham]

Here's the shortlist of baby names I'm considering honest thoughts please.

Dad called Matt, Mum Called Tessa, Brother called Arthur, Surname Yerbury.

Boys
Moss
Pip
Ted

Girls
Beau
Boo
Dusty
Greta
Maud
Meredith
Nell
Sybil

Ted and Meredith all the way!! I have a Meredith so I am biased, I love her name. I also love Tess (DH vetoed it for DD ) so I am quite jealous of your name too

Ted is a great name. Pip is ok, I know a little Pip, it really suits him. Nell, Maud or Meredith for girl imo

Moss - quirky, but I like it. Short for Moses or Amos, though, maybe?
Pip - dreadful, wet, ridiculous for a grown man
Ted - yuck. Teddy is cringey.

Girls
Beau - for a GIRL? NO. Ridiculous.
Boo - Please NO. Silly, silly name,
Dusty - PMSL. NO.
Greta - beautiful.
Maud - horrrific
Meredith - not to my taste, but better than Boo / Bo / Schmo etc
Nell - lovely, penelope? helena?
Sybil - Basil. NO.

Pip is awful. Can you imagine a strapping, six-foot, fifteen year old sports nut, called Pip? As is Dusty. Rest are nice.

Moss - sorry, hate this
Pip - and this is worse
Ted - ok but not great

Girls
Beau - ok
Boo - no, just as a nickname
Dusty - no!
Greta - no, too old fashioned
Maud - old fashioned, no
Meredith - yes, like this
Nell - yes, possible
Sybil- no, fawlty towers!

Sorry :(

Nell is by far the best.

I'm really sorry, I dont want to hurt your feelings, but the rest are pretty awful.

Boys:
Moss - Okay. Bit odd, but it's not ridiculous.
Pip - Okay as a nn, but I think just a bit too feminine for a full name.
Ted - Fine. Personally prefer full names on birth certificates.

Girls:
Beau - Sorry, where are you from? Very hill billy.
Boo - Now this IS ridiculous. She's going to get jokes all her life, and never be taken seriously.
Dusty - Not ridiculous, but a bit silly. You wouldn't describe her as being dusty, so why call her it?
Greta - Lovely classic name.
Maud - Perfectly fine.
Meredith - Beautiful.
Nell - Very nice; fine as a stand alone name.
Sybil - Lovely.

Your boys names are just as 'okay' as each other, but please don't name your daughter Boo, whatever you do. Preferably not Beau or Dusty either. Greta, Meredith, Nell and Sybil are all lovely names.

Im sorry, I think they are all awful, well apart from Greta which is just ok. Boo - this is a nickname - would you really consider calling a baby this and putting it on the birth certificate?

Ted (I'm biased though) and Nell or Meredith.

Ted
Nell
erm that's it...

Ted (if short for Edward) and Meredith.
