Any thoughts?

I love Harriet and Edward! I like Jasper too, but it is too close to the French verb for "to bark" so I much prefer Caspar.
The others are just fine but the 3 above are great names IMO.

Harriet and Walter or Rupert.
I don't like any of the other girls names.

Harriet and Edward

Mabel is gorgeous, and I love Hattie as a nickname for Harriet. The other two are also pretty but not my favourites.

Love Rupert. Jasper is okay, Edward is soooo dull, and I really don't like Walter. Wally as a nickname? Not good.

Love clementine. (clemmie)

ProcrastinationAteMyMorning · 08/06/2012 19:14

Mabel and Walter are my favourites from your list. Tough call though - excellent shortlists!

StepOutOfSpring · 08/06/2012 19:23

Florence and Clementine both lovely :) Harriet fine too, nice classic name. Mabel is a bit faddy.

Jasper and Edward both nice, also like Walter as it's different but not unknown, and perhaps due a comeback. Rupert is a bit too staid-posh.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/06/2012 19:25

Mabel - nice
Florence - nice
Harriet - love it
Clementine - don't like

(already have an Alice) - lovely

Jasper - ok
Edward - love it
Rupert - love it
Walter - bad: how about Wilfred or Maurice?

janie2 · 08/06/2012 21:15

With the exception of Walter I love all of them. I do know a baby Walter though!

BorisTheBold · 08/06/2012 21:26

Clementine and Jasper

Florence and Edward

Thanks all. We already have an Alice, Freddie and Bertie (Albert). Which names from the list do you think work best? Have avoided any with an ie ending.

Any other suggestions too of a similar style?

Love Mabel, Florence and Rupert. Fantastic choices. I am also fond of Amabel...

Beamur · 08/06/2012 22:08

They are all pretty cute names. I'd say Mabel is my least favourite of your girls, Harriet would be my preferred name and of the boys maybe Edward (safer) but I rather like Rupert - I know a couple of cool Ruperts!

BodyUnknown · 08/06/2012 22:42

I also love the nickname 'Roo', lovely for a child and great for a teenager.

Booette · 08/06/2012 22:54

I love all your girls names.

I'm not keen on Walter (Beano fan!) but I like the others.

NappiesandGladrags · 09/06/2012 15:33

Mabel - really love with Alice, Alice and Mabel my fave Grin
Florence - LOVE
Harriet - LOVE
Clementine -Like

(already have an Alice)

Jasper - like but it's my cats name
Edward - adore my fave
Rupert - not sure
Walter - actually quite like, sounds lovely with Alice

Pixieonthemoor · 09/06/2012 18:35

Clementine and Rupert.

WithACherryOnTop · 09/06/2012 18:36

Mabel is ugly.
Florence is nice.
Harriet is gorgeous. A perfect choice.

Jasper is great.
Edward is nice.
Don't like Rupert.
Walter is awful.

WithACherryOnTop · 09/06/2012 18:37

And Clementine is horrid. It's very popular on MN and I've no idea why.
