Love Binx & Emmett.

Love Stella, Nova & Tate.
Gorgeous names!

moredoll · 09/10/2018 19:57

I like Athena (prefer Athene) and Hazel.

ZebraKid71 · 09/10/2018 19:58

Farah and Stella are amazing names.

Love all your boys names except Binx.

Seeyounexttue · 09/10/2018 19:59

I'd assume binx was a rabbit and Monty a golden retriever...

pontiouspilates · 09/10/2018 19:59

Love Emmett and Sylvesta. Athena, Stella and Hazel

userabcname · 09/10/2018 20:00

Sylvester and Athena are my favourites.

RavenLG · 09/10/2018 20:02

I assumed this was a pisstake but there are a couple of girls names that are passable.

All your boy names are either incredibly posh wanker names or animal names.

Hazel and Stella are ok.

sonlypuppyfat · 09/10/2018 20:03

Binx??

Icklepup · 09/10/2018 20:11

Only like Hazel and Stella

SemperIdem · 09/10/2018 20:12

Binx was the black cat from Hocus Pocus. No.

AlmondVanilla · 09/10/2018 20:14

Emmett & Hazel are gorgeous together

WrongKindOfFace · 09/10/2018 20:18

Binx was the black cat from Hocus Pocus. No.

Hah, I was just about to ask if the OP was naming a cat or a human.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 09/10/2018 20:23

The girls names are nice but Athena to me is only fine if you are Greek / have Greek heritage, otherwise it sounds pretentious
Tate- I think of as a boys name, I think that’s popular in the US
Boys names not my kind of names, all sound a bit wet

foodiefil · 09/10/2018 20:27

Binx?

Where's it from? It made me say it out loud in a 'Binx?!' Way when I opened the post

foodiefil · 09/10/2018 20:28

Are you having a cat?

I tought i taw a puddy cat

EmmaC78 · 09/10/2018 20:29

Binx is a definite no.

I like Farrah and Hazel from your girls list but not keen on any of the rest.

EvaPerron · 09/10/2018 20:32

I like Hazel.
Boys names not really my taste (Binx??Confused)
But Monty is my favourite.

DC18 · 09/10/2018 20:36

Emmett and Hazel are my favourites. I think Tate is nice for a boy but dislike for a girl. Binx is a pet's name imo. Sylvester is always Sylvester and twenty to me. The other names are a bit 'meh' for me x

DramaAlpaca · 09/10/2018 21:00

What sort of a name is Binx? Confused

SleepWarrior · 09/10/2018 21:06

Emmett, Athena and Farrah are nice.

Tate would be ok on the boys list.

Not keen on the others I'm afraid, especially Binx.

TulipsInBloom1 · 09/10/2018 21:08

Boys
Binx - dead boy in Hocus Pocus
Emmett - Lego Movie

Girls

AnnieAnoniMouse · 09/10/2018 21:12

I’m really not sure you do.

I’m employing my 🤐

peachgreen · 09/10/2018 21:16

I love Stella and Hazel. Not keen on the others. Binx is ridiculous, sorry.

BurtTyrannosaurusMacklin · 09/10/2018 21:19

Emmet and Hazel are nice.

Please, for the love of god, do not name a child Binx.

wildewillow · 09/10/2018 21:21

Thackery Binx?

Don't like any of your boys names but love Nova & Hazel. Farrah is ok. Tate is a boys name.
