I like Natalie and Juliette.
Would pass on the others I think.

DifferentNow · 06/12/2014 21:55

I like Juliette, Douglas and Edgar from your list.

Only1scoop · 06/12/2014 21:56

Like Clarissa and Josephine.

Love Douglas.

Sorry not keen on other boys names.

applecatchers36 · 06/12/2014 21:58

Josephine and Reuben.

myotherusernameisbetter · 06/12/2014 21:58

I like Juliet (without the garnish) Douglas and Edgar. Quite like Josie but not as Josephine but not that fussed about the others.

TipseyTorvey · 06/12/2014 22:03

I really like Clarissa,Edgar and Reuben. I'm not keen on Natalie or Douglas as they may be shortened to Nat and Duggie but just my random view Smile

DramaAlpaca · 06/12/2014 22:03

Clarissa - a bit frilly for my taste, prefer Clara

Josephine - like it a lot, it's long without being frilly, & I like Josie

Natalie - I think it's a bit 1980s, but it's a nice name, as long as she doesn't end up getting called Nat

Juliette - I much prefer Juliet.

Douglas - it's not to my taste, but it's OK

Reuben - like this best of your boy names

Edgar - really dislike this one, sorry

WrappedInABlankie · 06/12/2014 22:06

Reuben is nice not a fan of the rest

As a josephene Clarissa don't do it. Confused Every other josephene I've met hates their name profusely and they've all been called Jo not josie

shakemysilliesout · 06/12/2014 22:10

I like Natalie. Juliet is good too but not juliette

elotrolado · 06/12/2014 23:24

Quite like Josephine, Juliette and Reuben

calzone · 06/12/2014 23:25

Juliet and Reuben.

Not Edgar. ConfusedConfused

Sophronia · 07/12/2014 10:55

Josephine and Douglas.

ThinkIveBeenHacked · 07/12/2014 10:58

Juliet (prefer this spelling) and Reuben. Dont like the rest, sorry OP.

VixxenPlusAllTheOtherReindeers · 07/12/2014 11:28

All really bad

AWombWithoutAFoof · 07/12/2014 11:29

I like Juliet (only this spelling though) and Josephine.

BrightestAndBest · 07/12/2014 11:30

Not keen on Clarissa, but quite like the others. Juliet (rather than Juliette) and Edgar are my favourites.

Guin1 · 07/12/2014 13:33

Josephine or Juliette/Juliet for a girl.
Edgar probably best of the boys.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 07/12/2014 14:17

I like Juliet, without the added frills.
Edgar is the best of the boys', but I don't love it. Prefer Edward or Edmund.

RJnomore · 07/12/2014 14:21

Juliet and Edgar.

Rest are awful.

(IMO obviously)

carbolicsoaprocked · 07/12/2014 16:31

Love Natalie, my friend gets either Nat or Tali.
Love Juliet, not so keen on Juliette, looks too try-hard.
Love Reuben.
Don't like the others at all I'm afraid.

lollygagger · 07/12/2014 16:45

I like them all. They are proper names but not super trendy or popular. Any of them would do!

CPtart · 07/12/2014 16:54

Natalie is my all time favourite girls name, not shortened.
Josephine and Juliette are ok, again, if not shortened.
Really don't like any others , sorry.

PrincessSlayer · 07/12/2014 17:26

I love Josephine - I know a beautiful Josephine nicknamed Joey. For boys, I think Edgar is so cool. You have an unusual yet classic name with the option of the more common nickname Ed as he gets older.
All nice choices though!

GotToBeInItToWinIt · 07/12/2014 17:31

I like Juliet. None of the others im afraid.

jaggythistle · 07/12/2014 22:24

Juliet and Douglas.
