Oh what to choose!

Hi all

Would really appreciate your opinions on these names please. Hopefully this month will be the month we will find out if we could use one of them ;-) will keep pondering over names whilst waiting :)

Barney
Gabriel
Edward
Felix
Nicholas
Rex

Beatrix
Saskia
Phoebe
Juliette
Matilda
Esme
Rosalind

Love flower names but surname is Green... Iris Green, Rose Green .. Not so sure.

Thanks :-)

I think flower names are fine with your surname. Wouldn't blink at it and I'm a teacher. Love Iris. Saskia is nice, so is Juliette, and I like all of your boys names except Felix.

Id go for Rex or Juliet.

I have an Edward. He's an adult now and I still love the name.

Gabriel

Esme

My favourites are Edward and Rosalind

I like all your boys names except Barney, and all your girls names except Beatrix and Esme, so not much help really.
Out of such lovely names I'd pick Felix and Saskia as my favourites.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts so far. I just keep on switching from one name to another. Love all of them in different ways and hubby is that easy going with it all. Any other suggestions I could run by him?

Ummm...

Sebastian, Dorian

Aurelia, Alice

To be honest all your names are great, except Barney.

Lovely list of names.
I would go for Felix or Nicholas
Beatrix or Rosalind (have you considered Rosamund? - this was our choice if our 2 week old ds was a girl).

Wow. We had a very short list (three boys' and three girls' names) for recent DC, and three of your names corresponds (one boy's/two girls'). Freaky!

Caleb, Rupert, Christopher, Michael

Caroline, Hannah, Catherine, Lucy, Sarah, Susannah

(Siblings of people with names on your list)

I can see your problem regarding your surname.
Some friends of mine wanted to call their daughter Occasiona but they couldn't because their surname is Lee.

If popularity of name is an issue, then your boys names are pretty good, but there are a lot of Phoebes, Esmes and Matildas around here.

How about:

Rosa
Coralie
Seraphina

(I fantasise a lot about girls' names due to having only sons!)

I like barney! Anyway- like them all except saskia and Rex.

I worry esme is getting more and more popular- if that bothers you.

Edward and rosalind

All your girl's names are great, though personally not keen on Saskia.
For a boy PLEASE don't go for Gabriel - it's a lovely name but not with your surname. I have reservations about Rex as two one syllable names don't work IMO

Gabriel
Juliette

Hold on! Marmaladegranny, what have I missed about Gabriel Green?

Ditto 3little what is wrong with Gabriel Green?

Edward, Gabriel, Phoebe and Iris. Was going to throw Felicity into the mix (I have one so am biased) then noticed your username and thought it might be taken.

neil

I also like suggestion of Rosamund.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I do like Rosamund so will see which one Dh prefers out between that and Rosalind. Yes, we have a Felicity in my family Magic, so can't do that one... Love it though. I too have missed the concern over Gabriel Green. Have I missed something completely obvious? Thanks everyone :)

Edward and Esme

Gabriel
Rex

Juliet
Saskia

are all great

Hi OP

I really like your girl names! My favourites are:

Phoebe
Matilda
Esme
Rosalind

For boy names, I love Edward and Nicholas but I don't really like Rex; I immediately just think "King" which I don't like as a name personally. I know a few little boys called Rex though, so think I am in the minority there!
