Fenton? Like the viral youtube shouty dog video that the whole world has been going on about? Seriously? See

Not sure about any of the others either, sorry.

I like Percy how about Persephone for a girl? Sapphire is also nice, have you considered Seraphina or Saffron?

MrsParaphrase · 09/05/2012 20:36

Isn't Ruby quite popular? I like Sheba a lot. DH thinks it's cat food so vetoed. Liking Nimrod. Goldy is too Labrador. Saul is a possible but Samson will become Sam - too many of those.

Seraphina is lovely. Saffron is too Ab Fab. Hadn't thought of the Downton Percy for a girl. Is it quite unisex now? That would put us off.

Yes Pesto. Fenton. That's where I got the idea from.

I like Sapphire - also Emerald - very 1930s

MrsParaphrase · 09/05/2012 20:44

Don't want biblical as they're over done IMO. Really interested in Gertrude. Sorry about Goldy. Watched too much Blue Peter growing up!

Oh b*** Dh vetoed Aloisious and Ambrose. Lorelei and Isambard are contenders. Thanks

but, but think of the children! Shock

LimeLeafLizard · 09/05/2012 20:55

My nephew is Percy - love it, an old family name.

I also like Emerald, but none of the others. But then all my kids have boring over popular names so what the hell do I know

No worries Mrs I love the name but each to their own

marshmallowpies · 09/05/2012 21:05

I like Greek and Roman girls names - Antigone, Athene, Flavia, Cornelia, Tacita - but not so keen on boys names of the same era...can't imagine a boy being called Claudius, Achilles or Julius...Hector is good, I suppose.
