Sensible names?

[Totallytopsecret]

I am torn between two totally different lists. One super sensible (boring? Will there be 3000 of them in their class?) And ones that I love but might be a bit too try hard...

I have an unfashionable name and HATE it (no one ever uses the whole thing thankfully) -she is in the Apocrypha and got a dude drunk and cut his head off. Lovely things to associate with a newborn.. (but that's a different rant)

Surname is the same as post (so Royal, Snail and E are out!)

Boys:
Barnaby
Joshua
Toby (maybe)

Asterix
Loki
Zeik

Girls:
Felicity
Emily
Lucy

Luna
Juno
Zelda

These lists are a bit polarised. There is a middle ground (I think Barnaby and Felicity are these types of names - that are neither boring or wacky).

I Like all the names on your sensible list.

I actually really like your name, too (it's my Hebrew name) and it meets all same criteria I would apply when choosing a baby name - not overly popular, but recognisable, easy to pronounce and spell and not too specific to any particular social class!

Toby and Felicity would be my favourite choices from your list.

Toby and Luna get my vote :)
If I cud b so rude :-s I think the three 'different' boys names are horrific ! Don't do it !

I like your sensibles and given the way you feel about your own name, do you really want to give your baby an out there name?

Love all the sensible ones, especially barnaby and felicity.

I like Barnaby and Felicity out of your sensible names. I do think Toby/Emily/Lucy are a bit dull and perhaps a bit abrupt-sounding with your surname. Joshua is OK, but is it dated? I know a few who are in their mid-20s. I like both Juno and particularly Zelda out of the fancy names, but none of the boys'. Asterix is a piece of punctuation to me.

I'd go for Joshua. It maybe very common but it still comes very meaningful because of its biblical character.

I love Loki and I would also consider Zeke (sounds the same as the other spelling but more traditional)

Joshua definitely the best boys name on your list.

I quite like Juno.
