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...Blush Sad

TIA Smile

Your names are fabulous :o

The only ones i'm not too keen on are Katherine, Darcey and Thomas, and favourites would be: Honor and Arthur, and all of your girls names bar Alice, Iona and Charlotte, and thats just because I don't feel they flow to well with Honor.

If you want more 'arty' boys names, how about Milo, Otto, Albie (short for Albert), Ludo, Cosmo or Ivo.

I would go for Beatrice because you sound so joyful about it and because Bibi is a great nn.

Henry, George and Thomas are lovely.

Like most of your girls names, but think I would choose Beatrice in memory of your Granny.

bambiandthumper thank you, had a shocking bad and your comment made me Smile Love Milo but I don't think it would work with our surname, Cosmo, I love it but..Cosima for a girl, not sure I could do that to a wee boy [mmm]

Beatrice was my G-Granny as was Honor, so at least we would make both sides of the family happy. It's also DH fav's.
Bibi XXX sounds bloody brilliant. But so does India XXX and Kit XXX....arghhh it's tough I need to have lots of babies..but DH has said only 2 Sad

I like most of your names, good taste! I think I like Kit best for a boy. Honor and Kit. Tristan is my second choice.

For a girl I think you should go with Bibi, for the family connections. Iona is nice but I think it sounds too similar to Honor. I also like Eliza.

Beatrice [Bibi] -- LOVE, goes well with Honor, and great nn
Iona -- LOVE - but maybe sounds a bit like Honor?
Charlotte -- Like but it doesn't really stand out beside Honor.
Claudia -- always sounds clunky to me.
Eliza -- LOVE, and would be lovely with Honor.
Alice -- LOVE, very nice with Honor.
Marina -- coil, but nice name
Darcey -- Dislike, can't get past the arse in the middle. Not in the same league as Honor at all.
Violet -- 'shrinking violet', and the words 'violent' and 'violate' spring to mind (strange combination with Honor)
Cosima -- GORGEOUS, and goes well with Honor; very strong names.
Katherine [Kit] -- Lovely
India [Indy] -- different 'feel' altogether from Honor.

Charlie
Hugh
Arthur
Kit
Henry
Alexander
George
Tristan
Thomas

Like them all except Tristan. Henry and Hugh stand out for me.

Pedigree - is the mum to Honor and Eve's initial LK?

piginmuck · 23/05/2011 23:04

Pedigree - sorry that didn't make much sense - does Honor and Eve's mum have the initials LK?
