Mixed bag.... don’t hold back

[Proseccofuelled]

Struggling to find a name I love let alone one the husband will agree to - let me know your thoughts on the following - & be as blunt as you like!

Ada
Louisa (does this feel dated because of Louise?)
Norah (ruined by stockings?)
Audrey (too soon?)
Lena
Jane (boring?)
Nancy (too tragic?)
Adeline
Dorothy
Jemima

Leo
Walter (pretentious?)
Henry
Ralph
Roland
Robin
Peter (dull?)

I love Audrey, Dorothy, Robin and Peter.

I love:
Louisa (Louise is dated but Louisa is fresh and elegant)
Audrey
Jane (smart rather than boring to me)
Jemima

Nancy and Dorothy are okay. I find Lena, Ada and Norah bland. Dislike Adeline.

Boys - I like:
Leo
Walter
Henry
Ralph

Ada - lovely
Louisa - pretty, like it a lot
Norah - bit dull
Audrey - pretty but makes me think of preppy Americans
Lena - don’t mind
Jane - nice for a middle name, slightly dull for a first name
Nancy - love this
Adeline - pretty but old fashioned
Dorothy - love this, my chosen girls’ name too!
Jemima - I like it but I do think puddle duck

Leo - like it but there’s loads of them now
Walter - adorable but might raise eyebrows
Henry - fine
Ralph - bit pretentious
Roland - 😬
Robin - very sweet
Peter - ok but a bit boring

My favourite girls names from your list are Audrey, Lena & Nancy. I really dislike Louisa, Louise, Ada & Adeline they age quite plain and boring names.

Love Ralph Leo & Robin

I like Louisa and Lena from your girls list. Quite classic, classy, smile and lovely names.

Leo and Henry are the only from your boys list that don’t make me wince.

Great lists. I pretty much love the whole lot.
