Ace - Ventura
Cedric - no
Emmett - Lego Movie but best of this bunch
Nixon - unpopular 80s US president

Girls-
Asha - Brimful
Gloria - like it though I want to sing it like in the Patti Smith song
Hester - ok, 2nd best of the bunch after Gloria
Mabel - table
Xena - warrior princess

Love Cedric and Emmett.

I'm not keen on the girls names

I don't like any of your boys' names. Ace is silly, and Nixon is just the US president and Watergate - so hardly the best image. Cedric is wet, Emmet is Cornish slang

Girls- I really like Gloria and Hester. I like Xena. Asha is possibly OK.
I find Mabel very wet.

Cedric - no
Emmett - yes
Nixon - no

Asha - no
Gloria - no
Hester - yes
Mabel - it's ok
Xena - yes

MollyHuaCha · 11/10/2018 22:06

Sorry, left one out...

Ace - absolutely no

Cedric & Gloria

It's a vote for Cedric and Gloria from me too. Please don't use Ace, how will he ever be taken seriously as an adult?

Emetophobe is someone with a phobia of vomiting.
Nixon is the only US president to have been kicked out of office.
Ace is cringe
Cedric is the UK equivalent of Eugene

I like Xena though. I know a Xena and a Xenia.
