Honor and ???

[hellojude]

What do you all think...?? Suggestions and comments welcome.

DD is Honor:

Girls
Beatrice [Bibi] Know it's very popular but it was my granny's name, and I've always loved it.
Iona,
Charlotte,
Claudia - know the meaning but still think it's lovely and very underused
Eliza
Alice
Marina
Darcey
Violet - Will this date?
Cosima
Katherine [Kit]
and
India [Indy] Yes I know it's already been done, but I just love nn Indy!

Boys: Charlie, Hugh, Arthur, Kit, Henry, Alexander, George, Tristan and Thomas..

DH and I can't agree on a boys name. Also our girls names are a bit more 'arty' than the boys which are quite classic. I have suggested Orlando, Noah, Jude and Rupert but DH veto them and therefore they have gone on the 'Dog' list...

TIA

at putting vetoed names on the "dog list".

I love Kit for a boy - sounds really cool, and out of your list for a Girl - India. Fabulous name, it's on my list for our DD due in August but DH is unconvinced .

What about 'Obey'? Sorry sorry couldn't resist!!

emma yes well at least at some point I can yell one of the vetoed names across the park and clean up it's poo!!

peggotty I'd add it too the list..

Hope
Verity

Lancelot!

You have marvellous taste in names, I love all your girl's names bar Cosima!

I think it would be great to name a DD after your granny - and I'm not sure that Beatrice is that popular. Bibi is certainly not a common name, it's a lovely nn.

Boys I like Kit best but only because I'm not big on traditional popular boys names. If you want something more "arty" how about these for the dog list!

Isaac
Joel
Lucien
Lucas
Quinn
Emil
Elijah (Eli)
Ivan
Gabriel (gabe)
Ezra
Jake (Jacob)
Zachary (Zak)
Nathaniel (Nate)

Lost of lovely names there!

I like Beatrice, Iona and Violet best from the girls' names, and Henry, Alexander, George and Tristan from the boys' list.

Lancelot...Outstanding thank you BikeRunSki adding it too the dog list
Hope isn't really my cup of tea, do quite like Verity.

RickGhastley why thank you I agree with you on Cosima, I'm not sure on it either. Love Gabriel but DH isn't keen..booo. Nathaniel (Nate) is lovely however not sure it will go with our surname.

faith
charity
girls names

Thanks tiredgranny but I'm not really keen on names like Faith, Charity and Harmony etc etc IMO are a bit chavvy. Also a friend had an ex called Faith and she was a total fruit-loop so even if I did like it, i've been put off!

Any other suggestions or views on the names I listed??

Of your girl's names I think Eliza and India sound best with Honor. (Maybe Violet works too)
Boy's names - Kit or Alexander probably best. (I don't think you can use an H name, because it makes you trip on the no H in Honor IYSWIM?).

Other thoughts
Honor and Tess/Clara/Jessamy
Honor and Benedict/Otis/Tobias

Honor is a lovely name btw.

Eloise

PS hellojude your friend's initials aren't JT are they...?

Honor and Henry
Honor and Faith

jollster Thank you, we love it. You picked my 4 fav names..! your right..to may H's! Shame as I do like Henry.
Benedict, might grow on me. DH will just want Ben. Not sure about Tess, sounds like a cat name to me
Oh and no my friends initials aren't JT..that would be a bit freaky.

I like India.

With Honor I think:
Beatrice
Claudia
Violet
Cosima
India

For boys, anything but Kit, George or Thomas. Although Honor and Arthur might be a bit rhymey.

I like Ned as a NN for Benedict but am constantly told on here that it's a total no-go north of the border.

phew on the JT thing, must be 2 fruit-loop Faiths out there then...

Squeak just out of interest why no too Kit, George and Thomas? Personal taste or something else? (really I'm a nosy old moo)

Jollster no doubt about it..for me Faith equals bonkers lady (sorry to any Faiths out there) Yup N.E.D and Flanders! Neither are good

Just personal taste for George.
I think Thomas is too plain and too common to go with Honor, although there's nothing wrong with it.
Kit - Don't like nns as first names. Also, sounds like Kid, which is a horrible thing to actually name your child. Plus: 'Have you got your PE kit, Kit?'

May I suggest the ever-gorgeous Hugo, instead of Hugh?

Lois or Dulcie for a girl

Victor or Howard for a boy.

I know of sisters called Honor and Eve. Lovely wee girls.

I like Charles for a boy. I like Hugh and Hugo but not sure about two "H" names together.

Far enough Squeak I do like Hugo but DH doesn't. I've gone off having a 2nd 'H'..(for the time being)

I like Charles for a boy too, but nn Charlie.

Girl wise, it seems India is a popular choice [mmm] and here I was thinking it would get slammed! Time to start working on DH now as he's a bit iffy about it.
