Hi all,

Hubby and I spent hours last night vetoing each other's favourite boys names and wittling out the ones we can't have due to knowing people with the same names etc. This has left us with a (very short) short list. Opinions would be very welcome :)

Rupert
Alfred (nn Freddie not Alfie)
Albert (nn Albie or Bertie)
Arthur
Emmett

Absolutely love your names. I think you have similar taste to me as many on your short list are on ours. My comments below:

Rupert - like this
Alfred (nn Freddie not Alfie) - love this
Albert (nn Albie or Bertie) - love this
Arthur - love love love!
Emmett - I like this, although I wonder whether it's a bit American.
Elliott - also love

I would be hard pressed to choose between your boys - probably Albert, Elliot or Arthur

Girls - like them all except for Lorelei. Favourites are Elizabeth and Margaret which are my two top names. Nickname for Margaret for me though would be Meg. I don't love Freya only because I don't think it is as classic as the others.

Good luck!

I know it's off the list but I love Lorelei (and for Gilmore Girls related reasons!). Not so keen on Rory though.

I like Rupert, Emmett and Eliott as well as Margaret and Alice.

(Alfie, Artie and Albie are a little too trendy for me personally).
