I don't like Florian or Adeline (too close to Aveline (Boswell))

Ada is nice.

QuietNameChange · 02/05/2017 22:32

DH just said that I should also add Apolline. (Pretty much seconds after I clicked the "create conversation button...)

So: :)
Anthony
William
Florian
Jonathan
Magnus (will be used as a middle name if not as a first)

Erica
Louisa
Isidora
Adaline (do you prefer Ada?)
Apolline

Thank you :)

Louisa and Isadora (Is Isidora even a spelling?) maybe consider Hebe, Hera or Ariadne?

Magnus is my fave of your boys names.

QuietNameChange · 02/05/2017 22:47

Yes, Isidora is a spelling :)

We have actually considered Ariadne. But I don't like it.

But thank you for these suggestions.

❤️ Jonathan Magnus
Apolline Louisa is very pretty.

bridgetreilly · 02/05/2017 22:57

You have a mix of classic, normal names: William, Anthony, Jonathan, Erica, Louisa and very distinctive unusual names: Florian, Isidora, Apolline. Maybe decide which kind of name you want to go for first?

Sophronia · 02/05/2017 22:58

Love Florian, Jonathan, Magnus, Louisa, Isidora and Apolline.

DramaAlpaca · 02/05/2017 23:01

Boys' list are all fab, with the exception of Florian which I'm not keen on. If I had to pick my favourite it would be Magnus.

From your girls' list, I love Louisa and think it goes perfectly with Clarissa.

Erica is quite nice too, but I'm not mad on the others.

QuietNameChange · 02/05/2017 23:04

Thanks :)

I should have mentioned that the middle names are already "set in stone", sorry...

bridge:

Oh gosh, no idea :) The name that goes best with Clarissa or is liked the most and/or just "feels right"? I personally really like all of these (well, I am actually a little bit unsure about Apolline, but DH honestly loves it). But I am really indecisive, unfortunately...

MadameJosephine · 02/05/2017 23:05

William or Louisa by a mile

228agreenend · 02/05/2017 23:05

Not keen on Anthony. Other boys names are great. Florian is unusual but fab.

Don't like Erica.

QuietNameChange · 02/05/2017 23:34

Drama

Aww, thanks :) It seems like our boy's names are a bit more liked than the girl's.

228: I also like Florian. Plus, the godmother (my sister) is named Flora. Which makes this name "extra lovely" in my personal opinion...

Love Florian and Jonathan.

William could get teased with Willy.

Of your girls names I like Louisa and Apoline.

PirateQueenie · 02/05/2017 23:43

The only one I like on there is Ada personally ❤

QuietNameChange · 02/05/2017 23:53

Pirate

Better one than none? ;)

Pipi

True... That would be rather awful. :/

OP posts:
PirateQueenie · 02/05/2017 23:58

Quiet indeed! Nothing wrong with any of these names at all, they just aren't my usual style. I do love Ada though :)

WhiteHairReally · 03/05/2017 00:01

I think you are going to live in Scotland, from a previous post.

I love there and know grown men called Willie with no sniggering.

I think Florian might have a potentially hard time.

QuietNameChange · 03/05/2017 00:04

White

Yes, we are. Good memory ;) But we don't know if we're going to stay longterm. But it does seem really perfect (for DH's career [which has kind of... suffered because of mine, if I'm perfectly honest...], my job etc...)

Why would Florian have a harder time?

OP posts:
WyfOfBathe · 03/05/2017 00:16

I like Anthony or William for a boy, and Ada for a girl (or Adeline nn Ada)

WyfOfBathe · 03/05/2017 00:16

*Adaline

mum2be2boys · 03/05/2017 05:39

Some lovely names! My favourites are William and Magnus from your boys list, and Louisa and Ada from your girls list.

Pansiesandredrosesandmarigolds · 03/05/2017 05:47

Boys: Anything but Florian. Girls: Anything but Apolline.

I'd go for Magnus (assuming you and DH aren't petite) and Isadora (Izzy/Dora). Isidora will just confuse people.

Congratulations btw.

Nametrekking · 03/05/2017 06:55

William by a long way for boys, lovely name!

Girls is harder but I would say Isadora spelt with an A, it looks a little made up with an I (IMO). The others I think might be hard to pull off and don't go so well with your other DD's name

flyingpinkduckgirl · 03/05/2017 07:10

Love Isidora and really like Louisa out of your girl's names.

You boys names are mainly fine, Jonathan is my favourite (but I hate John so wouldn't name my child that)
I hate Florian though.... Sorry!

GuardianOfMyGalaxy · 03/05/2017 07:12

Louisa or Jonathan are the only ones that 'go' with Clarissa imo.

The Clarissas I know have siblings called Annabel, Daphne and Daniel.
