Names shortlist.....again!

[FeatheredTail]

Under two weeks to go and still undecided - and don't know the sex of the baby. What do you think of the following names?

Penelope
Clara
Leonora
Miranda
Elizabeth
Rosalind

Robert
Guy
Nicholas

Also, is it me, or are there FAR more nicer girls names than boys?!

Hiya, My personal favourites out of your list are Penelope and Nicholas ... both cute yet timeless as adults

Good luck xxx

I like them all, except Nicholas.
What about Giles, Miles, Luca, Jon.

I love Penelope, Clara and Elizabeth. I think Leonora is a bit stuffy, but who knows, maybe it’s due for a come back? Miranda makes me think of birth control for some reason... is there a pill called that maybe?

I like Robert (and Bobby) and Nicolas.

I agree with you, waaay more good girls names out there than boys names.

I personally hate the name Guy. It feels like a lack-of-name to me. I’m sure it has an origin and meaning I am not aware of but I think it’s like naming someone ‘bloke’ or ‘sheila’ or ‘dude’

I have a Penelope, so I'm somewhat biased, but absolutely love it.
I would go Nicholas for a boy

I like Leonora, Miranda, Rosalind, Robert and Nicholas. Lovely lists!

Elizabeth, Rosalind or Clara.

The boys names are all on the same level for me.

Found girls' names easier than boys' ... now have 2 boys. I particularly like Rosalind and Miranda from your list. Less keen on Guy but Robert and Nicholas are good.

How about Anthony or Conrad if you want a couple more boys' names?

Oooh Penelope is our top girl name and would have been DS' name if he'd been a girl so that wins it for me.
For boys, I like Nicholas the best from your list.
I agree boys' names are harder - I always feel like there are fewer of them?!

Penelope - Penny
Clara - I don't like it.
Leonora - I don't like it.
Miranda - not sure. Probably no.
Elizabeth - Lovely
Rosalind - Lovely

Robert - ok
Guy - love it
Nicholas - Love it

Did you consider Leonie as a less formal version of Leonora? Clara is great, and so is Miranda.

I’m so with you on the girl’s versus boy’s names, we never managed to agree on a boy’s name; luckily baby was a girl!!

I like Nicholas and Robert for a boy and, Rosalind, Penelope and Elizabeth for girls.

Love Rosalind and Leonora

From your boys i really like Nicholas but find Robert dull and really don't like Guy sorry

Love Leonora, don’t really like the others. Rosalyn is a nice alternative to Rosalind.

Knew the cutest 5yr old child named Nicholas years ago, he was always Nick so I like that one best.

Penelope and Nicholas are lovely.

I like Clara & Nicholas

Elizabeth and Nicholas.

Guy and Miranda

Out of your list I would go for Penelope ( can be shortened to pea, penny , Nellie ) 💖
Nicholas for boy 💙

Would you consider niclouse for a boy? 💙

I like all your names in the main.
I particularly like Miranda, Elizabeth and Rosalind. I really like Guy.

All very try hard

I feel bad to say this but you asked. I really don't like any of those names at all. But thank goodness we aren't all the same as life would be boring.

Penelope Leonora is lovely!
Nicholas Robert sounds strong.

Not try hard at all, just nice names!

Thanks for the suggestions and opinions all - except boatass, because, well, your comment is more suited to the AIBU board I think.

I hadn't thought of Miranda sounding like a contraceptive I think that's the Mirena coil you're thinking of Silverbirchtree but either way, it's made me think twice about using it!

Not keen on Leonie, Nicalouse or Luca but thanks for the suggestions.

Like all of the girls names except Rosalind, which is dour.

Like the boys names except for Guy.

I would probably choose Leonora, because I like the shortenings more than those which come from the other names. But Clara is good too, for that reason.

Like Robert best for a boy.
