Hello

What are your thoughts on the following names for a baby...

Sibyl
Floriana nn Florrie
Georgette
Ethel nn Effie
Elspeth nn Essie
Tallulah

Percival
Jude
Abel
Samson nn Sammy
Peregrine nn Pip
Lucas
Indiana
Crispin nn Kit

TIA

I love Sybil but DH has vetoed it

Not keen on Percival

I like Lucas and Samson is okay.

I like Florrie,Effie, Jude and Kit. All the others are Meh or grim.

Sybil for a girl..
And Basil for a boy.

Georgette and Indiana only.

Elspeth and Lucas

The girls' names all sound a bit "Victorian servant girl" to me. Also I don't understand how you can force a nickname, they seem to just naturally happen?

At a push, Sybil but spelt correctly!

Out of those names I like Georgette, Jude, Samson, Lucas and Indiana

Unusual names and im afraid I made an involuntary face at some of them ie Ethel, Elspeth and Percival. I do like Jude.

I love Sybil (with that spelling) and I like Lucas and Jude too.

The rest are not my style at all, and most of them made me wince when I read them. Sorry!

I'm afraid I dislike all of them.
Sybil is particularly awful and I can never understand why so many like it (on Mn). All sound too posh to my ears.

Georgette and Jude are ok.

The others I wouldn't use unless you intend to be in private education.... (and I have 2 dc with horrifically aspirational names...)

Fav girls name is florri and I also like florrianne
I was called Sybil in Victorian week a a child at primary and i hated it! Ha! Remember by bf was given the name Sadie which I thought was much kinder ha!

Like Lucas Jude and Abel (Abel much less common)

erm.... well, Lucas is OK.

Wow! I think they're all VERY try-hard, except for Lucas.

Abel, Jude and Lucas are nice. Really don't like any of the other names sorry.

I have an Elspeth we call Effie as DD1 couldn't say her name.

Abel is my favourite of your boys.

We have very similar taste in names!

Peregrine nn Pip is my favourite (was vetoed by DH). Jude is DH's favourite (I like it but our DS didn't look like a Jude). Crispin nn Kit I also really like.

Elspeth and Florrie are my favourites from your girls. I really dislike Tallulah (and I can cant really explain why, sorry!)

Sybil and Samson. Lovely.

Only like Jude.
Dont mind Lucas but personally reminds me or mucus.
And georgette sounds like courgette...

Love Percival and Peregrine and Crispin! Great names.

Love Elspeth! Also like Sybil (but spelled like this).

Of the boys' names, I love Jude and Lucas.

Not so keen on the others - sorry! Really not a fan of Georgette (reminds me of Georgette Heyer) and Abel has bad associations for me.

Ethel might just catch on - it sounds very granny-chic and almost fashionable, and Effie (or Eggie, as my phone would have it ) is rather nice.

Sibyl - no
Floriana nn Florrie - no
Georgette - no (although I do like Georgie)
Ethel nn Effie - no, but I do like Effie
Elspeth nn Essie - no
Tallulah - no, but it's possible the best of a bad bunch.

Percival - I really like Percy, but I know it's not widely liked.
Jude - love it
Abel - like it
Samson nn Sammy - like Sam/Sammy, but prefer Samuel.
Peregrine nn Pip - no
Lucas - it's not to my taste, but perfectly fine.
Indiana - I quite like it for a girl
Crispin nn Kit - It's fine as a surname.

I'd go with Georgie or Tallulah and Jude or Abel.
