Rhubarbgarden · 19/12/2012 21:28

Please not Felix. Sounds ridiculous with your surname.

jaggythistle · 19/12/2012 21:29

Elliot James

Iona Catherine

GoldPlatedNineDoors · 19/12/2012 21:31

Elliott or Oscar, both MNs Ben
Alice or Florence, both MNs Elizabeth

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/12/2012 21:31

Rupert James
Elizabeth Florence

Agree that Felix doesn't work - and it's not a v nice name anyway imo.

BitOutOfPractice · 19/12/2012 21:33

I like them all but please god not penny!!!

bigbluebump · 19/12/2012 22:34

Elliot or Rupert are lovely, as are Alice and Orla. Choose a family name as middle name (they get used so rarely!).

Leafmould · 19/12/2012 23:22

Agree with rhubarb felix florence and Penelope all sound a bit much with your surname.

Off your lists, I like James and Iona best.

kilmuir · 19/12/2012 23:24

James
Elizabeth

I like James Felix and Alice Florence

Pleasenomorepeppa · 20/12/2012 09:49

Oscar & Florence.

MadSleighLady · 20/12/2012 12:06

I would strike out Felix, Rupert, Penelope and Florence because I don't think they work with your surname (though all nice).

Other names which seem similar to me and could be mns?:

Arthur
Edmund
Douglas
Laurence
Theodore
Leo
Tobias

Rosalind
Aurelia
Cicely
Sylvia
Lyra
Xanthe
Perdita

Viviennemary · 20/12/2012 13:16

Boys names I'm not so keen on but James is the best one

Girls I like

Alice
Penelope
Elizabeth
Florence

Alice best.

eatyourveg · 20/12/2012 13:23

Rupert James
Alice Elizabeth or Alice Penelope

OutragedFromLeeds · 20/12/2012 13:24

The boys names are all really nice, except Rupert which is awful. I really like James and Elliot, but I also like Oscar and Felix.....not much help. I'd maybe go for Elliot James.

I don't like Orla or Iona. Love Elizabeth. Quite like Penny, Florence and Alice.

I think you could have Florence Elizabeth or Alice Elizabeth. Elizabeth as a first name needs a shorter middle name though like Elizabeth Rose or Elizabeth Mae or similar.
