Leo and Jemima. I'm one of the few people who really dont like Annabel.

MollyHuaCha · 14/05/2019 00:46

Leo - great
Peter - great
Henry - great

Martha - lovely
Annabel - ok
Jemima - lovely

I would choose Henry and Jemima

LarkDescending · 14/05/2019 01:21

Great list - I like them all, but would choose Peter and Jemima.

I love your boys' names, especially Peter.

Martha is kind of housemaidy & dreary, I don't like it.

Annabel is nice, thank goodness it's that unfussy spelling.

Jemima is OK, but as I grew up with Beatrix Potter it will always say Puddleduck to me.

Thank you all - I’m surprised to see so much love for Peter given it’s fallen so far down the charts

I love them all.

That's probably why - it makes a refreshing change from all the Alfies, Archies, Jacks and Charlies!

Henry and Martha!

Another thread said Jemima might have racist connotations?

Astronica · 16/05/2019 08:08

I love Jemima, and like Annabel, Leo and Henry. And I don't mind Peter simply because it's fairly classic and not often used at the moment.

daisypond · 16/05/2019 09:03

Peter and Annabel. I like all the boy names , but Peter is less common and it is a classic. Martha is a bit under scullery maid to me, and Jemima has connotations to me as well, but it is a pretty name.

NorthernRunner · 16/05/2019 09:45

Henry and Martha

Proseccofuelled · 18/05/2019 09:37

Torn on Martha
Love Peter

ravensrivers · 18/05/2019 09:50

They're all lovely except Jemima which I'm not terribly keen on.
My favourites are Henry and Martha

Saharasunset · 18/05/2019 13:38

Leo, Henry and Martha are the best by far

17caterpillars1mouse · 19/05/2019 15:34

I really like Peter and Annabel

Proseccofuelled · 19/05/2019 21:41

Little ones say ‘Marfa’

outsho · 21/05/2019 13:35

I like all of them, that rarely happens on here Grin.

I probably wouldn’t use Peter just because the only Peter’s I’ve ever met are middle aged or elderly, I can’t get past that image I’m afraid Grin. But it’s fine as names go, like the Peter Rabbit link.

Favourite girls is Martha but I also love Jemima.

Henry is fantastic.
