I love them all, you have great taste! But if I had to pick just one from each list then Edward and Philippa.

Jasmina456 · 18/06/2018 21:47

Hate Philippa. It's my sister's name and she despises it. It's just so ugly sounding.

Jasmina456 · 18/06/2018 21:48

Thomas, Edward, Elizabeth and Alexandra

Arthur, shortened to Artie.
Sofia, spelt like this.Grin

Philippa is definitely more love it or hate it than the others, isn’t it? I definitely don’t think there are that many people who HATE the name Elizabeth.

Thomas and Elizabeth! Beautiful names!

I agree about Alexandra. It's a beautiful name but I'm not so keen on Alex as a nickname.
To be honest, all your names are really nice. I'm just put off Edward and Sophia because they're so popular.

vampirethriller · 19/06/2018 07:35

Charles and Philippa.

Arthur and Phillipa

Susannach · 19/06/2018 11:37

Thomas (Thom) and Philippa (Pippa).

Kitty as a nickname for Elizabeth is a new one on me — it’s traditionally short for Katherine, isn’t it?

LucyJ61 · 19/06/2018 15:38

@susannach My grandmother was called Elizabeth but known as Kitty. It had never seemed strange to me but now that I think of it... maybe not. I do like Lizzie as well though, also Bess/Bessie.
