what do you think of these names?

[MagicFinger]

I've just found out I'm expecting!
My other DC have fairly unusual names. I have come up with a list of potential names for new baby, what do you think?

Girls -
Pandora
Elizabeth
Zoe
Arrabella
Tabitha
Talitha
Tazmin

Boys-
Rafferty
Ezra
James
Elijah

Love Tabitha and Zoe, Rafferty and Ezra.

Ooh I like Talitha. Tabitha is nice too, as is Zoe. Ezra and Elijah are my favourite from your boys list.

Congrats

Pandora is now synonymous with jewellery. Tazmin and Talitha are just silly. Rafferty is naff naff naff. The others are all fine.

Yes to
Arabella
Zoe
Elijah
James
Ezra

No to the rest.

Pandora, Tazmin and Talitha are especially bad.

Elizabeth is the only one I like from your girls' list. Hate Zoe, Tabitha and Talitha.

Elijah James would be nice.

The only sensible name out of your girls names is Elizabeth.
James and Ezra are nice out of the boys names . The others are just silly, sorry

Congratulations!

I love Zoe & quite like Tabitha (because the nn Tabby is so cute). I'm not a fan of any of your other girl's names though.

All of your boys' names are nice. I think Elijah is probably the best.

I really like Rafferty. James is a good strong name, and Elijah is nice too. I dislike Ezra, but that's probably because I know an (adult) Ezra who is a bit of a muppet.

From your girls, I like Elizabeth. Zoe is nice but not overly exciting. Pandora would be my favourite were it not for the jewellery.

I can't warm to Pandora. What is the nn, Panny??
Rest are ok or even good.

I love pandora but hadn't thought of the bracelets...

What about Keziah? That's N old family name, I forgot to add to my list.

I like Elizabeth, Zoe, Elijah and James.

Lovely names.

The only one I hate is Talitha, always sounds as though you have a lisp and clumsy to say.

Keziah is great.

Congratulations!

I don't think any of your boy names are v unusual, all lovely though!

Girls names I like Pandora and Zoe but LOVE Keziah! :)

Thanks all

My name rhymes with Zoe though so not sure I can use it...

We have at Tabitha MN Tabby outs self even more than usual! We also had Pandora on the list. DD 2 will be most likely be Genevieve, but possible Delilah or Dinah😊

Pandora - like, also Isadora
Elizabeth - OK
Zoe - OK
Arrabella - like but with one r
Tabitha - don't like
Talitha - OK
Tazmin - quite nice but prefer Tasmin spelling

Rafferty - a bit frilly
Ezra - like
James - like
Elijah - like

Pandora - like, but Adrian Mole and bracelets
Elizabeth - lovely, but not unusual (if that's a strong criterion for you)
Zoe - like
Arrabella - lovely (if spelt with single 'r')
Tabitha - lovely
Talitha - also lovely, and a much lesser known Biblical name
Tazmin - not keen
Keziah - lovely

Rafferty - lovely
Ezra - OK
James - lovely, but not unusual
Elijah - lively, but strong happy clappy church association. Perhaps Elias instead if that's not what you'd want?

Elizabeth , Tabitha and janes are all fine names the others are just weird

Oh Zoe sorry that's also a normal name to me

Yes sorry, Arabella! One 'r'!

Like Zoe best of your girls names by a mile

Like Rafferty and James but they are very different names & agree James is certainly not unusual ...

Elijah and Ezra sound a bit too biblical

Pandora
ElizabetHoI've just found out I'm expecting!
My other DC have fairly unusual names. I have come up with a list of potential names for new baby, what do you think?

Girls -
Pandora- I like it but can't get past the tacky jewellery shop with the same name, which is very common where I live.
Elizabeth- beautiful and classic.
Zoe- nice and simple.
Arabella-lovely name.
Tabitha-ok . A bit meh.
Talitha- more unusual.
Tamsin- not my bag.

Boys-
Rafferty- quite liberal.
Ezra- don't know any myself. Quite an old name. Makes me think of Ezra Pound.
James - stands out from your list as the most 'normal' name.
Elijah-quite a lot to lumber a child with. Might be expectations of being a naughty child. Otherwise would suit a very artistic child. Sorry speaking from personal experience.

Arabella is the name we are going with so I of course love that name 😄. I notice you spelt it Arrabella (with double r). I haven't seen it spelt that way and I definitely prefer the classic spelling with just one 'r' but obviously it's up to you.

Pandora - it's ok. I've only met one and she was very very posh.
Elizabeth - not keen. Don't really like the nicknames either
Zoe - quite like it.
Arabella - love it. It's my DD3's middle name
Tabitha - don't like it. Just think of cats
Talitha - I know it's only one letter change but I do really like this
Tamsin - it's ok.
Keziah - really like it

Rafferty - posh but I love it. Rafi is a cute nn
Ezra - it's ok
James - like it. Good solid name
Elijah - quite like it.

I think I'd go with Arabella and Rafferty
