7 weeks to go and I can't get DH to discuss names so I'm asking MN for opinions. He was the same with our first and whilst we ended up with a name I love I want to be a bit more prepared. Open to other ideas

Boys

Arthur
Rupert
Sebastian
Oscar

Girls

Thea
Clara
Martha
Ruby
Evelyn/Evie/Eva
Elsie / Elspeth

I like Arthur and either Elspeth or Martha

Sunflower321 · 25/09/2018 19:06

I like Arthur and Clara. How about Quentin or Anna?

daisypond · 25/09/2018 19:06

Rupert is my favourite.
Then Oscar and Arthur.
I'm not keen on Sebastian.

I like Thea most.
I also like Ruby, Clara, Evelyn and Elspeth (but really dislike Elsie, Eva/Evie, which weaken the names a lot, in my opinion)
I'm not keen on Martha, but it's OK.

Chocolatecake12 · 25/09/2018 19:09

From your list I like Oscar and Clara.
Other suggestions:
Joel
Saul
Robert
Isaac

Nancy
Annie
Harriet
Victoria

OhTheRoses · 25/09/2018 19:10

I prefer the boys names. Clara goes with them. Not sure about the others.

ShowOfHands · 25/09/2018 19:12

There are a zillion Evies and Elsies so I'd avoid them. Arthur and Oscar too. They're ten a penny.

I like Clara and Rupert.

Belindabauer · 25/09/2018 19:12

Oscar and Clara.

animcross · 25/09/2018 19:17

Boys -
Rupert is my favourite.
I like Oscar.
Arthur is nice but seems quite overused nowadays.
Really don't like Sebastian, sorry.

Girls -
I like Martha, Ruby and Evelyn.
I don't like Thea, Clara or Elsie and I think Elspeth is terrible.

Good luck Smile

Notso · 25/09/2018 19:39

Sebastian or Rupert
Thea, Martha or Ruby

Not too keen on the others.

Eeeeek2 · 25/09/2018 19:47

Like them all but favourites are Rupert and Sebastian, Evelyn and Clara.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 25/09/2018 20:08

Love Ruby and Elspeth, or Sebastian and Arthur.

Peachbubble · 25/09/2018 20:18

I like Rupert, Felix and Jasper. For girls, I like Clara, Martha and Iris.

Flamingosnbears · 25/09/2018 20:35

Arthur and Martha

MikeUniformMike · 25/09/2018 20:41

only like Arthur and Martha from your list

WaffleFroggy · 25/09/2018 20:41

Just to say all your names were on my list for dc2 and dd1 has one of those names Smile so you have excellent taste but Oscar and Martha are my faves

villainousbroodmare · 25/09/2018 20:44

Very safe, very English, very typical MN. The only one I really like is Thea.

AdaColeman · 25/09/2018 20:48

I'm not keen on Oscar at all, but like the other boy's names. I'd pick Rupert as my favourite as the other two are already quite popular.

I like Clara and Ruby from your girl's list.

Evie, Eve etc, are already extremely popular.

Thighofrelief · 25/09/2018 20:53

Oscar and Clara for me. I love Clara a lot.

How about Max, Lucinda and Juliet?

Lynne1Cat · 25/09/2018 21:39

From your lists, I only like Sebastian,m Evie and Ruby.

I like
Elyza
Alexia
Wren
Willow

Joel
Jonah
Jack

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 26/09/2018 13:03

I like them all apart from Evelyn and Elsie.
