Opinion a on shortlist!

[Frankie2015]

After going back and forth for ages with DH as we have totally opposite tastes in names this is our shortlist’s for DC2. We’re not finding out the gender. What do you think? Please dont be too brutal 🙈

Girls
Nancy
Betsy
Hallie
Lila
Xanthe
Effie

Boys
Spencer
Freddie
Fletcher
Rory
Stanley

I think I like Nancy best of the girls names and Rory for boys. Ones I don't like are Hallie and Stanley. But certainly none of them are awful or would be an embarrassment. Like some of the names I've seen on here.

Really don’t like Dorothy or Daphne but love Xanthe and Effie from your original list... they sound like cool girl names with a bit of attitude 😊 I also like Nancy because of Stranger Things.
None of your boys names stand out but Stanley is ok. I know a dog called Fletcher so that puts me off

Nancy - love
Betsy - love but would put Elizabeth on the birth certificate
Hallie - also prefer Hayley
Lila - meh
Xanthe - love, or how about Ianthe for an alternative?
Effie - love but would put Elizabeth on the birth certificate!

Spencer - like
Freddie - meh
Fletcher - meh
Rory - meh
Stanley - love

I love Betsy, Nancy and the whole boys list! Great names!

What did you go for?

Nothing as yet as due very early May time. I think it will be Albert (Bertie) for a boy. Nearly everyone on here said Rory and I love it and even though it was on our list my DH has now changed his mind and doesn’t like it!!! 😡 I’m sure that’s not allowed! Spencer or fletcher are his choices but we already have a very traditional name for our DS1.

Girls down to
Elizabeth -Betsy
Daphne
Dorothy- Dotty

Although I do still love Xanthe 😩 DH hates it

I’m sure naming our son wasn’t this hard we’d agreed really early on if it was a boy what he would be called.

Xanthe, Effie , Freddie and Spencer are my favourites out of the list.

💜💙💜💙💜💙

Love Xanthe

I don't really like any of the boys names - sorry. I'm not keen on names that are usually surnames. Freddie is too popular to me (I know about 8 under 2).
