I like most of them - you have good taste .

From your boys list my favourites are Arthur (Artie), Quentin (Quinn), Leonard (Leo) and Somomon (Sol).

Girls wise, I particularly like Alice, Estelle, Cordelia and Aurora.

The only names I woudn't choose personally are Duke, Barrington, Blossom, Waverley and Otto.

Wow - thanks so much.

So Waverley isn't popular!!! I just like the sound of the name...

Xavier is a favourite though but the pn is awkward. Not ssure which to go for. I like Zaviour to rhyme with saviour but am worried that people would use the x-men pn i.e. X-saviour.

Sydney I LOVE but need to be brave to use....does go well with other children's names - wonder if it shuld be spelt Sidney?

Girls wise I particularly like Xanthe, Violet and Hermione. The Harry potter thing bothers me though....do you think people will think HP?????
