I love them all!

Fabian is a long standing fave of mine. Dh said nope. I named the dog Rupert after i gave up asking for that for a child too! The latest ds is called Arthur, Artie for short.

I have used most of those girl names for the rabbits and chickens as we are thin on the ground with girls.

Kayzr · 20/01/2012 10:34

I love Fabian, Rafe, Betsy and Ottilie.

My DP said no to all of them Sad

largeginandtonic · 20/01/2012 10:36

Absolute favourite girl name is Dorothy. Aphra also a fab name.

largeginandtonic · 20/01/2012 10:37

Dammit Kayz! They would go so well with the boys names too.

largeginandtonic · 20/01/2012 10:39

Oh and Artie's middle names are Octavius Rafe.

You really do have excellent taste Grin

Kayzr · 20/01/2012 10:39

I know LG&T, they would be brilliant. Though this one is meant to be a girl, girls names are hard.

largeginandtonic · 20/01/2012 11:00

I have a ton of girl names i could never use. Will dig the list out later and fb them all to you.

BlueChampagne · 20/01/2012 12:47

Fabian and Clara from your list. We found girls' names easier and liked:

Meredith
Meryl
Corinna
Rhiannon
Tamsin

FriggFRIGG · 20/01/2012 20:30

Oh I quite like Meredith....

What NN could you have for that?

OP posts:
Fo0ffyShmo0ffer · 20/01/2012 20:39

Merry or Edie I would have thought.

suebfg · 20/01/2012 20:39

Sorry, not keen on the boys names. Rafe is the best IMO.

Of the girls names, Clementine is quite nice and usual. Not keen on the rest, again sorry.

FriggFRIGG · 20/01/2012 20:43

S'alright sue if we all had the same taste,life'd be a dull thing Grin

suebfg · 20/01/2012 20:48

I guess I'm just a little more conservative!

FriggFRIGG · 20/01/2012 20:53

remus how queer that you should be here....I'm using this thread as a distraction....I'm watching the last potter for the first time,im on my own.....

and I'm bluddy terrified.

FriggFRIGG · 20/01/2012 20:54

Oh,what would you use as a full name for Betsy?
My main twinge about it was that I couldn't see it on a full grown woman.

Love Myrtle for a girl, like Clara too...

How about Orion for a boy? I've always liked it but haven't been brave enough to use it.

FriggFRIGG · 20/01/2012 21:03

I thought about it,but I couldn't take the chance it'd be shortened to or mistaken for Rion (Ryan)
I wouldn't like that at all...

OP posts:
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 20/01/2012 21:07

Oh the last film is SO good - you'll love it!

How about Remus to join your boys' list? :)

Betsy - Elizabeth is the obvious, I guess? Libeth, maybe? Bethany?

FriggFRIGG · 20/01/2012 21:12

I do love Remus,Sirius and Lupin BUT I think they are to closely associated with potter now Sad
