Sybil by a million miles

(please don't use Audrey, it's grim)

Arthur

(but I am very uninspired by all of them)

Audrey is nice

But a boy would go nameless if that's all I had to choose from

Catherine (Cate)

Robert (Robbie)

Not Catherine. The whole of England seems to be called Kate. I know so many, of all ages, that it is a useless name as it can't be used in conversation to identify who you are.

I like Dorothea but not Dorothy. Mary is lovely.

Boys names are good. I like Arthur, Henry and Thomas.

Oddly enough, I did choose one of each! For DD and DS :) What that says about my taste in baby names I don't know...

Spaghettinetti · 02/01/2014 16:28

Dorothy and John...although I'd call them Dotty and Johnny! :-)

Lutrine · 02/01/2014 16:43

Audrey and Arthur, these were both on my lists (as was Dorothy!)
