Caroline, Frances or Elizabeth for girl,

Also, Alexander, Guy or Hugh for boy?

What are your thoughts? Those are my top 3 of each! X

I'm not a fan of Caroline. I personally hate Frances and have never met another Frances who liked their name. It was unusual in my area/generation growing up though. I like Elizabeth.

EachPeachPearRum · 16/08/2018 21:35

Frances or Elizabeth for a girl.

Hugh for a boy although I prefer Hugo.

ShatnersBassoon · 16/08/2018 21:35

Frances and Alexander. They sound like good people.

TenThousandSpoons · 16/08/2018 21:37

Caroline for a girl - surely this is due a comeback. Also like Elizabeth and its various nicknames. Don’t like Frances or Frankie nickname.

Alexander for a boy.

I absolutely love the name Frances. Elizabeth and to a lesser extent aCaroline are nice too.

Peachbubble · 16/08/2018 21:47

I'd choose Caroline and Hugh (prefer Hugo though)

TheVanguardSix · 16/08/2018 21:48

Elizabeth and Guy.

LIVIA999 · 16/08/2018 21:50

Not so keen on guy but love all the others and I do have one of those myself- I won't say which one.

hungryhippie · 16/08/2018 21:56

I dont like the name Guy, but I like all the other names

Moonflower12 · 16/08/2018 22:22

Hugh and Frances though I do like Guy too.

DC2018 · 16/08/2018 22:33

HelloBrass · 16/08/2018 22:35

Caroline is a beautiful name.

Love Alexander too

DramaAlpaca · 16/08/2018 22:47

Caroline & Alexander.

Yika · 16/08/2018 23:03

Absolutely love all 6 of these names, you cannot go wrong in my view.

lottiegarbanzo · 16/08/2018 23:07

I would drop Caroline and Guy and use any of the others.

(I think Hugh and Hugo are very different names and far prefer Hugh btw).

Holymolynowayimagreeingwiththa · 16/08/2018 23:09

Like all 3 of your girl names. Probably would rank them Elizabeth then Frances, then Caroline.
Am not keen on the boy names.
Wouldn't use Alexander or Huge. If I had to choose one of them I would choose Guy.

whathaveiforgottentoday · 16/08/2018 23:09

I love frances and Caroline is pretty too
Prefer Alexander for the boy

Holymolynowayimagreeingwiththa · 16/08/2018 23:09

Not huge, Hugh.

Fifthtimelucky · 16/08/2018 23:09

Love Elizabeth and Caroline. Not so keen on Frances.

Like Alexander and Guy. Don't really like Hugh.

cowgirlblues · 16/08/2018 23:13

Not Caroline. That song "sweet caroline"! No.

Elizabeth and Frances gorgeous. Elizabeth no. 1. Alexander the definite choice for a boy.

usernamealreadytaken · 16/08/2018 23:15

Frances and Alexander

mastertomsmum · 16/08/2018 23:16

Have a cousin called Frances do I do like it but think I prefer it as a middle name.

Elizabeth is nice but slightly austere. Loads of shortenings, do ok some jo hum.

Caroline- really nice name. Trendy years back and rightly thought of as a classic and classy name

RoseMartha · 16/08/2018 23:21

Elizabeth and Alexander
Although i quite like Caroline and Guy

Sophronia · 16/08/2018 23:24

Caroline and Hugh
