Too many to choose from!

[indigoazul]

I am due next month and we want to narrow our list down to two or three. Which do you like best for boys and girls? Can you think of any others I might like along the same vein?

Violet
Iris
Martha
Eliza
Isabelle
Theadora
Ivy
Esme
Margot

Arthur
Rafferty
Wilfred
Barnaby
Inigo
Jago
Bear

Love Isabella, Violet, Ivy and Iris. Your boys name are not my cup of tea. Violet Isabella would be adorable!
Other suggestions:
Inez
Annabelle
Matilda
Mila
Isla

Boys names that seem similar:
Tobias
Henry
Rufus
Jory
Mathias
Elias
Atticus

I love Violet and kind of like Esme not too taken with the boys names I like raff or raffey but not rafferty and I like Will but not Wilfred
I like Jesse for a boy and Isla or Juliet.

I love Violet, Iris, Ivy and Margot. I would ditch Isabelle from your list - there are soooo many of them.

Boys - I like Arthur, Inigo and Jago. Loathe Rafferty.

Bear-no. Others are all nice.

Love violet for a girl and Wilfred for a boy. Wilfred is on our list but DP is currently refusing to consider it do would love someone else to use it!

Violet is my top choice but Dh not sure. It seems popular on here though. Boys is much harder....

Girls: favourites are Esme, Iris and Martha.
Boys: favourites are Jago and Barnaby.

I used to like Inigo, until someone pointed out that it only takes a tiny mispronunciation to make it 'in I go' and out I go, etc.

I think Bear is great for a nn. We have a little Bear, but his birth certificate name is Edward. When he gets older, he has the option of Edward, Ted or Bear.

Margot and Arthur! i like only these names from the list( maybe Esme also...

Bear???????????????????????????????? Sorry but that is ridiculous.

Love: Violet / Martha / Isobe/ (this spelling) / Esme
Hate: Margot

Love: Wilfred / Barnaby
Like: Inigo / Arthur
Dislike: Jago / Rafferty

You might like:

Verity / Ishbel / Yvette
Jude / Bartholomew / Simon / Simeon / Bram

Love all your girl names except for Ivy, not keen on the boy names except Barnaby nn Barney. Bear is awful, sorry.

Martha or Eliza.
Don't go for Ivy ( poison Ivy, clinging Ivy)
Sorry but dislike all the boys. Bear is truly dreadful!

Barnaby is OK.

I like Iris, Martha, Eliza and Margot from your girls list, Wilfred, Inigo, Jago and Barnaby from the boys.

Other suggestions:

Helena
Louisa
Vera
Julia
Susanna(h)
Miriam
Alice
Ellen
Marina
Viola
Cordelia
Joanna
Rosa
Willa

Clement
Albert
Barnabas
Amos
Wilbur
Arlo
Pasco (Cornish form of Pascal)
Laurence
Isidore
Joscelin

I have a DD Violet, other names I like are Pearl, Marin, Nancy, Beth, Meg, Molly, Georgina and Alicia x

Thanks for some good suggestions. I like Molly, Ishbel, Willa and Arlo, will see what Dh's response is! I have narrowed the original list so thanks for your feedback. Bear would definitely be a nn for Edward or Rupert, but even so maybe it's not the one. Certainly hasn't had good feedback on MN!! I still like it though, but it's not my top choice. 3 weeks to go.

Love both Edward and Rupert.

You could shorten Beren to Bear too.

I have a Bear (she's really a Bess) and it is the sweetest nickname!

I like your boys names - boys are harder I think! Can I suggest (here she goes again..) Rafe instead of Rafferty. Lovely norse name, means 'Wolf'.

I also like Wilfred (wilfie?) and quite taken with Inigo too - do you say 'In-ee-go; ?

What about Hugo?

adore Margot from your girls list

followed by Iris, Martha and Eliza

Good luck with your fab names!
