Angelica Lettice ... ... (my pick)
Lettice Thalia ... ...(DH's pick)

Frederik Bertram ... ... (DH's pick)
William Horatio ... ... (my pick)

Lettice!! I'm wondering if people forget that they will actually like their child. By all means, change your own name, but don't give that to a child.

Peasants.

Lunar why wouldn't I like my baby?

Our first child?

Please don't!

It's easy to get wrapped up in wacky names when forced with a timescale to make a decision. Our DD was lucky she was born a girl!!!

Willy Ho?

Exit the names are a bit rural, I agree. Especially Angelica... But I think it's rather cute.:)

You can not name a child Lettice! My ds is Colette and has had enough lettuce jokes in her time, let alone being called Lettice. The rest are slightly less awful.

Colette? Why would she get Lettice jokes? What's the connection?

If children want to bully somebody they will always find a reason. I have an (apparently...) quirky name and was never bullied.

Slightly less awful. Well, that isn't too bad, is it :)

Because you sound like you are naming a puppy, or new variety of vegetable. Your child will carry this name and have to live with it.

My friend has a similar name, when she introduced herself to new people she says, hi I'm 'leek'...yes my parents are idiots!

Absolutely love both boys names. Especially William Horatio. I love Thalia from your girls names too, but the rest aren't to my taste.

The boys' names are fine. I prefer the traditional English spelling of Frederick unless you have particular reasons to choose that spelling.

Angelica Lettice is two green foodstuffs. I prefer Lettice to Angelica which is so sweeeeet. Not really a fan of Thalia as I think people won't be sure how to say it - Thay-Lee-ah or Thaa-Lee-ah or Taaleeah or Taylya. But as a middle name it wouldn't matter.

Lettice sounds too much like Lettuce for my liking.

The rest sound fine to me.

Henrietta is a lovely name, I agree. Thank you:)

But my sister's middle name is Henrietta... (she goes by Henrietta or Titta, so, I'd actually rather avoid this one)

Colette nn Lettie.... Lettuce/Lettuce leaf/wormy lettuce/wormy.... Usual kid teasing. Quite simple really, kids can be very clever.

Henrietta Lettice 😂😂😂😂😂 now that has made my day!

How is Lettice pronounced? Is it let-ees?

You misunderstood my peasant remark. I love the name Lettice and was referring to those who did not recognise it as a viable name.

88 that is admittedly an unfortunate outcome... But it might actually be a better nn than the one my friends have for me.

I love them all except Thalia which makes me think of thallium.

Or would it be pronounced Tah-lia? In which case, I like that more than Angelica.

Yes unfortunate outcome for a Colette, 16 years of teasing wasn't fun for her and watching your 6 year old little sister bawl her eyes out about it was brutal. Imagine what Lettice will get, I get you want a "unique" name for you ickle snowflake but be real and realise that that is that child/adults name!

I love both boys names.

I also really like Lettice and Thalia, although not necessarily together. But I like names like Apple, Lemon, Bluebell etc. so may not be representative of 'normal' people.

I think of Lettice as a perfectly credible old school name. I also know a Letitia and she is always known as Letty. Both are pretty I think. I like all your short list. Is there a reason for the ?German spelling of Frederik as opposed to the usual Frederick? I think that might be a nuisance.

What about Laetitia which is what I assume Lettice is originally a shortening of? It's not the name that would leap to mind for a baby girl but the meaning is lovely, and if it's for a favourite great aunt ... Thalia Laetitia?
