Okay..so hit me with it...what do you all think..no idea of name order at all!!

DH wants next DD to be called Bebe or Bibi....I've told him that whist I have no problem with this as a nn she needs a 'real' name..Beatrice or Beatrix, he's not keen. DD's middle name is Elizabeth after my late mother..quite like Eliza but maybe a bit close to Elizabeth!!

DD is Honor.

Girls: Beatrice, Charlotte, Claudia, Alice, Marina, Cosima, Katherine (Kit), Angelica.

Boys: Hamish, Charles, Kitt, Arthur, Alexander, George, Tristan, Thomas (DH's fav) Fraser and Campbell.

Middle names: ??
Philippa
Katherine or Catherine
Richard,
John,
Robert,
Hugh or
Edward

TIA smile

I like Beatrice, Charlotte, Marina and Alice and for the boys I like Charles, George and Arthur, good luck :)

What about Babette?

I think you can have any name you like and still call her Bebe as a nickname. My best friend growing up was named Emily on her BC but everyone called her Coco to this day she is still a Coco.

I like all of your girls names.

Boys names, love Kitt, in fact might steal it.

For a boy, Kit rather than Kitt I reckon - Kitt being the spelling of the Knight Rider car :) I like that, Alexander and Hamish. Thomas is lovely but very very very popular I find.

I think I have similar taste in girls names to you - Beatrice and Catherine were on my shortlist. We ended up with a Genevieve nn Ginny. Also like Charlotte (lottie is sweet as a nn) and Alice and Claudia. Personally I think Angelica and Cosima are too frilly ballerina-ey

Jeez I can't see a name there I don't like & your dd's name is equally gorgeous! Do you spend ages with name books? I love finding out how and why people picked their dcs names.

Ohhh maybe I could have a Charlotte nn Coco....

Hope adds to list!

magicmelons nooooooo {stomp stomp} steal away my love. Need to be brave..ohhh and have a boy!

Beatrice or Claudia - absolutely love Claudia in fact.

Hamish, Arthur or George - all gorgeous. George wins it for me but Hamish a very close second.

Yes we would spell it Kitt if we had a boy. I don't dislike Thomas but it's just a bit..well...blaaaa for me personal.

Twoifbysea Well thank you!! Had a flick through a book but gave up quite quickly as it was driving DH mad Ever time I heard a name I liked or if it pooped into my head I wrote it down. Honor is a family name going back 4 gen so delighted that we could use it.

Name picking is tricky tricky...sadly DH won't let us have more than 2 children...booooo

I know a Phoebe who sometimes gets called Be or Bebe.

I total forgot to add India to my girls list. Duhhh

I love the nn Indy.

What do you think?

Girls: Beatrice = lovely
Charlotte = nice,
Claudia = nice,
Alice = lovely,
Marina = not terribly fond,
Cosima = hate this, sorry,
Katherine (Kit) = love Catherine and Kitty but not Kit,
Angelica = horrible, sorry.

Boys:
Hamish = no,
Charles = fine,
Kitt = like Kit as nn for Christopher,
Arthur = no,
Alexander = okay,
George = no,
Tristan = the best by a mile,
Thomas (DH's fav) = fine
Fraser = don't like
Campbell = really, really don't like, sorry.

Middle names are all good except for Richard which I'm not so fond of.

India is top of my list at the moment but rather concerned about how many people may use it in the next year, its on alot of mn name lists.

Remus thanks for your feedback. No sorry's needed. I'm Scottish so hence a few Scottish names in the mix. Clearly my real name isn't Scarlett. Love the name Iona but with Honor just sounds silly.

Magic is India about to get popular..clearly missed that one?!?!

Honor is lovely.

Beatrice Catherine or Tristan John go fantastically with Honor imho. :)

I only know one but mentioned in a thread yesterday that my friend who's dd is in prep in Manchester is inundated with them. She reckons there are loads and since then I notice it gets recommended a lot on MN girls names threads, still love it as does DH.

I have a cousin Phoebe who's known as BiBi, if that's any help

Katherine (I have an 11yo one) who I have let choose her own nn (she is Kathy in school).

I like Fraser for a boy but am scottish which might affect that.

Aidan
Seumas
Logan
Lewis

Rachel
Leila
Lucy
Annabel
Isobel

Love Beatrice & Claudia. Charlotte is pretty but very popular ime. Katherine is a bit ... meh - I like Kitty as a nn but there are a lot of Kate\Katie's around.

Don't like Marina, Cosima, Angelica or India

Boys: Like Hamish, Fraser and Alexander. Quite like Tristan too

Charles, George and Thomas all ok but popular and a teensy bit dull. Like Kit but not Kitt for some reason ? Campbell is a family surname so I struggle to think of it as a first name

Eliza is a nickname for Elizabeth. Beatrice/beatrix is lovely and I love the nn BiBi.

Thank you for everyone's feedback. I'm aware that Eliza is a nn for Elizabeth. dam it

Remus and Holy Tristan John and Beatrice Alice are lovely and I think really flow with Honor.

For me current fav's are (in no order) Hamish, Kitt, Tristan, Frazer, Beatrice, Comisa, Charlotte, Claudia and India.

DH....Bibi and Thomas!!

Clearly i'm indecisive...

DH has vetoed Tristan John, he seems to think it will get shorted to TJ
He like Beatrice Alice but made the link to 'B.A.' Baracus. Now it's all i can think off. Dam it, Dam him!!

He's also said no too: Marina and India.
He's said India's too middle class.. we are middle class..and our daughter call Honor (FFS)

Think you might be me, as a lot of my fave names are on your list (currently pregnant with DC3)

For a girl from your list, I think Claudia Catherine (but actually like Claudia Alice better - flows nicer)

and boys, I think Kitt Edward (but full name Christian Edward, known as Kitt).

Love them!

I like Charlotte, Cosima and Katherine from your girls list. Alice and Marina are OK too. Don't like Beatrice or Claudia at all, I find Beatrice quite an ugly name and hate the way it sounds, same for Claudia really. Angelica a bit too frilly and sugary!

I'd probably vote for Cosima actually, a bit less commonplace than Charlotte or Katherine.

For a boy, I really like Tristan. Fraser and Campbell especially sound a bit surname-ish. Alexander and Thomas are nice but there seem to be so many Alex's and Tom's around! Kitt I would think was a nickname, and slightly odd with the double t.
