Expecting DC2 in May, DS is nicknamed Teddy and full name Theodore, so what do you think of:

Boy:
Cuthbert (Bertie)
Montgomery (Monty)

Girl:
Matilda (Tilly)
Eleanor (Nell/Ellie)
Emilia (milly)
Dorothea (dotty)

Thanks!

Don't like either of the boys names at all. Cuthbert is dreadful. Of the girls names none of them are awful. I like Eleanor best.

I very much like Monty but Montgomery is a bit OTT in my opinion. Cuthbert is o.k, and I like bertie.

I like all of your girls choices, but my favourate is probubly Emilia, although Amilia is was the no.1 girls name of 2012.

Wow, we'll your boys are much more unusual than your girls. Monty is cute but Montgomery quite imposing for a grown up. Cuthbert is fine.

I wouldn't go for Dorothea because you don't always have control of nns and Thea and Theo are too similar.

Love love love Monty. Really don't like Cuthbert, sorry.

Love Matilda, Tllly not so much.

Love Nell, don't like Emilia/Millie - bit too popular for me.

Dorothea is lovely, as is Dotty, but agree that she may become Thea which is too similar to Theo IMO.

Like Monty but not Cuthbert. How about Bartholomew nn Bartie? Teddy is yummy!

Like Eleanor/Nell but prefer Elinor.

lolalotta · 03/01/2013 20:33

What about Montague NN Monty???

lolalotta · 03/01/2013 20:33

I like Bertie, but not sure about Cuthbert...

Cuthbert/ Bertie is fab!

As is Eleanor/ Nell.

Quite like all your choices though tbh!

Rhubarbgarden · 03/01/2013 22:49

Cuthbert is terrible. Montgomery is ok, if a bit of a mouthful.

Of your girls names, with the exception of Dorothea they are all immensely popular, so much of a muchness, really.

Dorothea sounds daft with Theodore though.

countrykitten · 03/01/2013 22:52

Monty is lovely. Matilda would be my other choice.

Dominodonkey · 03/01/2013 23:17

Public school boys or very middle class area? If not I think your boy's name choices are very unwise.

Emilia is cute.

ArthurandGeorge · 03/01/2013 23:19

Monty and Matilda or Eleanor

LifeIsBetterInFlipFlops · 03/01/2013 23:32

Love them all, but think the suggestion up thread of Montague from Montgomery is great.
