Girls list, inspired by the out-there threads atm

[Remembrall]

Some of the more out-there names discussed recently have inspired me to post my outrageous name lists.

I'm only 14 weeks, but musing. And probably not brave enough for most of them, as first names. But I am partial to a more interesting middle name.

These are my absolute fantasy lists. Which do you like, and which do you hate? And first name-middle name combinations that jump out as lovely?

Girls:

Alba
Allegra
Antigone
Bramble
Briar
Charis
Claudia
Coral
Francesca
Hazel
Hero
Ivy
June
Monica
Morgan
Olive
Opal
Pearl
Romy
Sorrel
Vera
Violet
Vivienne

Boys:

Alan (very very special family name to me, probably the only one with any real significance on both of these lists)
Alistair
Amos
Blaise
Clement
Conrad
Ford
Jarvis
Laurence
Neville
Paris
Rafferty
Rocco
Rollo
Stellan
Valentine
Warwick
Willoughby

Will not be having a BOG, don't worry!

I really really like...

Briar Antigone Goldsmith (is BAG ok?)
Briar Vivienne Goldsmith
Vera Vivienne Goldsmith
Claudia Charis Goldsmith

Stellan Alan Goldsmith (Is SAG ok??)
Warwick Alan Goldsmith (Christ, all these initials are dodgy)
Laurence Willoughby Goldsmith
Laurence Rocco Goldsmith
Laurence Warwick Goldsmith

I think Laurence is emerging as the boys fave. Girls still undecided.

To those asking...

Two middle names is not for us.

I do like Blair, although it feels too American/Gossip girly and I don't think it is as separate from its political namesake as Ford and Clement are.

I really dislike Alana. Bloody Honey Boo Boo has ruined it for me forever.

I have a relative named Alan Laurence, which I've always liked.

From your lists I really like Vera Vivienne and Claudia Charis. Also fond of Charis as a first name, June, and Antigone. For boys I like Alan, Clement, Conrad and Laurence.

Least favourites are Bramble, Briar, and Hero. Also Willoughby (pure surname to my mind, if it was in the middle I'd assume it was your maiden name or another family surname) Paris and Rocco. Warwick may have pronunciation issues outside the UK, if that's a factor.

Vera Vivienne Goldsmith or Laurence Alan Goldsmith

Both are gorgeous!

Tiggy as nn from Antigone goes really well with your surname! Very cute!

Vivienne is lovely, my favourite girl's name from your revised lists.

How about Coralie instead of Coral?
There are some lovely Scottish girls names around. Catriona? Mairi? Elspeth? Why not have a look at the ONS list - there is a separate one for Scotland.

Love Clement - my favourite from your revised boy's list. (Also love Alistair - sad to see it go!)
Stellan reminds me of Stella, Ford reminds me of Ford Prefect from Hitch-hikers Guide.
Also lots of great Scottish boys names. Lachlan? Angus? I like Angus Alan Goldsmith.

Love.
Bramble
Briar
Coral
Francesca
Ivy
June
Hazel
Hero
Monica
Pearl.
Opal
Sorrel
Vivienne.
Don't like any of the others

Boys names.
Love
Conrad.
Rocco
Alan

Laurence Rocco is pretty cool. I love the nn Laurie too.

Your list of names is probably my favourite ever seen on MN!

I grew up in Scotland and reckon Alba would be a pretty unusual name. Not a massive fan.

Just had another look
Antigone Charis
Charis Antigone (works better with Antigone first IMO)
Allegra Charis
Francesca Briar
Morgan Charis
Morgan June
Violet Sorrel

Blaise Conrad
Stellan Ford
Ford Warwick
Ford Willoughby
Conrad Jarvis
Clement Ford
Willoughby Ford
Stellan Blaise

DH and I think we have decided!

Vera Vivienne or Rocco Laurence / Laurence Rocco

VVG
V Goldsmith
VV Goldsmith
RLG
R Goldsmith
RL Goldsmith
LRG
L Goldsmith
LR Goldsmith

Are all ok, right?

Lovely!

I'd go for Rocco Goldsmith. It is cool.
