I love William.

IsobelRae23 · 01/08/2019 22:47

I only like Tabitha sorry.

happystory · 01/08/2019 22:48

Not keen on Tabitha, sounds like a cats name.

Love all the rest

happystory · 01/08/2019 22:49

Tho never heard of Domnhall and don't know how to say it

madeyemoodysmum · 01/08/2019 22:52

Mirren is very cute and unusual
I like William. Classic and can choose from many nicknames

DaisyM2019 · 01/08/2019 22:58

I like Juliette

Shadow1234 · 02/08/2019 00:58

Mirren is lovely
Not keen on boys list, but if had to choose, would go with Arran

zurigirl · 02/08/2019 02:00

Artair is so unusual, I love it!
Really like Arran and Mirren too. Smile

Thank you everyone! I really love Tabitha but my husband agrees that it's a cat name so might have to ditch that one 😭 but I love Mirren, William and Artair a lot ❤️

I love Tabitha and Juliette. William is my favourite on your boys list.

Haz1516 · 02/08/2019 06:24

I like Tabitha and Juliette for the girls. Like James, Adam, William and Arran for the boys. How about Matilda to add to the girls list?

whattodo2019 · 02/08/2019 06:27

Tabitha
Martha
Alasdair

gregoire · 02/08/2019 06:29

Matilda is lovely! Thanks for the suggestion

Tabitha is lovely. And actually, I've never met a cat called it...

Aeungus

joystir59 · 02/08/2019 06:34

They are all ok. Miren is a Japanese marinade. Tabatha is a cat's name.

daisypond · 02/08/2019 07:23

All your girls’ names are fine, apart from Mirren - a male saint - and Juliette, which is naff unless you are French. Juliet is lovely.
I like Ishbel a lot. Miren is not a Japanese marinade. It’s mirin. Mirren for a boy is better, and I rather like it, but what about the football team?

gregoire · 02/08/2019 07:41

@daisypond I actually agree with you on the spelling, not sure why I typed the french version!

Also Mirren is a girl's name in Scotland! Never heard of the football team but might be an association lots of people have

All the girls apart from Dorothy ( which imo is one of those names that will date like Betsy, Maisie, Elsie and Alfie )

Adam, William and James from the boys list.

Astronica · 02/08/2019 11:13

I love Ishbel, Juliet (much prefer this spelling) and Tabitha.

Boys - I love Domnhall, Aengus and Artair, and I like James, William and Alasdair.

Ewanthescreamsheep · 02/08/2019 11:57

I like Alisdair, Juliette (prefer Juliet spelling) and Mirren best from your list.
We have an Alistair. If he'd been a girl he would have probably been either Juliet or Merryn (similar to your Mirren), with Lillian as a middle name.

Frith2013 · 02/08/2019 12:03

Tabitha - ok
Martha - bit dull
Dorothy - no
Mirren - no. Sounds like you’ve got a crush on Helen Mirren. Merryn is a Cornish name that makes more sense
Isbel - no
Juliette - no

Frith2013 · 02/08/2019 12:05

James / Jamie - ok
Adam - dull
William - ok
Arran - nice
Domnhall
Alasdair - no
Aengus - no
Artair - looks like Arthur spelled wrong

CakeRattleandRoll · 02/08/2019 13:20

Love Tabitha, and like Juliet and Martha.
How about Elspeth?
Love Alasdair from your boy's list.
