Francis and Clemence

they'd become Frank and Clemmie

All lovely except Henry and Rosalba. Rosalba would be sure to get Rose as a nn and there are already enough Roses, and Henry is just a bit boring.

My favourites are Cressida (absolutely fabulous) and Gregory (wonderful strong name).

Henry and Olivia but I really don't like any of them. Francis I really really don't like.

SpunkyMummy · 29/10/2016 21:57

Gregory and Henry
Cressida and Clemence

Francis and Cressida, with Henry and Clemence close runners-up.

Floralnomad · 29/10/2016 22:00

Not keen on any of the boy choices and Cressida for the girl choice .

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 29/10/2016 22:01

I like Gregory and Francis.

Don't like any of the girls names, sorry.

enolagayits0815 · 29/10/2016 22:06

Francis and Clemence, nn Clem. I would have said Gregory but I know one and he's a dick.

Elbi · 30/10/2016 00:25

Cressida and Gregory :)

Coey2016 · 30/10/2016 05:22

I like:

Leonard
Henry

Cressida

nooka · 30/10/2016 05:32

I've not heard of Clemence as a name, only Clemency, Clementine and Clement (for a boy). downside is Clem/Clemmie as diminutives which to me are just not very nice.

I like Cressida and Gregory best. If you like Francis for a boy do you also like Frances for a girl?

NotYoda · 30/10/2016 06:22

Gregory
Henry

I don't like the girls' names

NotYoda · 30/10/2016 06:23

If you like francis, what about Francesca for a girl, or Frances

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 30/10/2016 07:08

Henry and Cressida

Wishfulmakeupping · 30/10/2016 07:08

Henry is my favourite but really like Gregory and Francis too
I don't like any of your girl options but someone up thread suggested Frances for a girl and I think that's a lovely suggestion.

NovelDensity · 30/10/2016 07:09

Francis and Clemence (but also prefer Clemency)
