georgina, jemima or harriet and what if its a boy?

[poocatcherchampion]

Just that really.. we've only got a couple of weeks to go and cannot decide for either gender. Happy with other suggestions for girls too. Boy names we've considered include barney, Samuel, and that's about it..

We need help!

I like Jemima.
Georgina is ok but much prefer Georgia.
Not keen on Harriet.

Not a fan of Samuel or Barney either.

Other suggestions:
Charlotte
Hermione
Victoria
Francesca
Josephine
Florence
Lydia
Matilda

Barnaby
Milo
Rufus
Theo
Xander
Elliot
Tobias
Rafferty

Like Harriet, Barney and Samuel.

Other suggestions ...

Tabitha
Elodie
Ester
Phoebe
Matilda

Henry
Seth
Edward
Rupert
Benjamin

Good luck!

Georgina. It's a lovely classic name and underused.

Are you particularly looking for girls names that have tomboyish nicknames e.g. George, Harry, Jem? If so, Matilda (Matty), Francesca (Frankie), Charlotte (Charlie) and Judith (Jude) are other possibilities.

For boys, Samuel is lovely. How about James, Max, Luke, Joseph or Michael?

Btw, I should declare myself the parent of a Harriet - not chosen specifically because it could become Harry in time to come. Ours tends to go by Hattie.

Agree with rice I prefer Georgia to Georgina too. Out if the 3 Harriet is the nicest.

I like all 3. We met someone with a daughter called jemima and they called her mimes which i liked. I like caitlin, genevieve, katrina, alexa for a girl, and james, rory, or dougie for a boy. Our first child didnt have a name for about 10 days, we didnt know what would suit. Why not wait and see? The rule we went by was a name that would suit a politician, poet and popstar, then you cant go much wrong.

George, Jeremy or Harry if a boy?

Harriet is really nice.

I love Georgia, not keen on Georgina.

Don't like Jemima.

Samuel is lovely but quite popular.

Barney is terrible.

Suggestions;

Alice
Eleanor
Annabelle
Josephine

Noah
Jonah
Bobby (Robert)
Caleb

Harriet is a fab name!

1. Harriet
2. Georgina

I used to like Jemima but fell out with it on learning the North American context of the name.

All your suggestions lovely. If had to pick one from your three would go for Georgina. Slightly prefer to Harriet. Had a friend called Jemima who spent her time saying "it's not Gemma, it's Jemima".
Boys names I hope you like based on two you have given - Milo, Casper, Jasper, Edward/Ed/Teddy, Alexander, Arthur. Of the two you give I prefer Samuel.

thank you this is helpful.

boyswise George and James and Robert are already used. dh likes bible names, I should have said Barney short for Barnabas. Noah was a possibility last time but neither of us feels it any more. I like Christopher nn kit as well. he doesn't.

girls wise his choice has been Jemima I prefer the other two hattie/Hetty as a nn for Harriet. also like Matilda, Tabitha (although that is kind of lined up for dd3 randomly) and a couple of others but can't remember them now.

dd1 is Rosie I should have said. really suits her.

thanks!!!

Jemima Puddleduck. Not good.

I like the girls names, would possibly prefer Georgia or Georgina though (either way she would probably end up as George anyway by her friends!).

What about Henrietta? The nn could still be Hetty then too.

I wanted Barnaby/similar on our list but DH says it's a dopey purple dinosaur, sorry.

I know 2 yr old Henrietta who goes by Hettie.
