Opinions please

[Cantrip]

Baby number 5 for me. Would really like not to have a name that will be shared with others in it’s class at school (I know you can never be certain but, I do TRY to avoid it!), and I also try to avoid anything too common as we have a VERY common surname. Opinions on our current shortlist please.

Patrick
Hector

Quentin
Kenny

Zebulon - Zeb
Vincent - Vinnie
Dexter

Silas
Dominic

Agatha
Marilla - Milla
Adelaide - Addie

Delia
Susannah - Sukie

Meredith
Miriam
Orla

Stella
Robin

Patrick - yes, but don't like Pat
Hector - no, don't like meaning
Quentin - yes, especially for a 5th
Kenny - no
Zebulon - Zeb - prefer Zebedee
Vincent - Vinnie - yes
Dexter - yes

Silas - no
Dominic - yes

Agatha - yes
Marilla - Milla - no
Adelaide - Addie - no

Delia - yes
Susannah - Sukie - yes

Meredith - ok
Miriam - yes
Orla - yes

Stella - my favourite of your girls
Robin - no

None really, sorry, but I do know a Meredith and they call her Meri which is an improvement.

On what? On the name Meredith ? Really?!

Quentin Crisp

How is Quentin Crisp relevant?

There are far more current Quentins around ( the illustrator Quentin Blake, director Tarantino etc) that the younger generation will know.

But more importantly, any old associations are forgotten the moment you meet a little Quentin.

I think it's a great name that's due a revival.

We have similar tastes .. lots on your list were on mine.
I love Miriam and Stella, Patrick and Hector.

Also on my list were Joy, and Bridie for a girl, Seth and Kit for a boy

I like Hector, Quentin and Dexter.

And Miriam and Stella.

Actually for a fifth child Quentin is perfect!

Just saw this thread again, and for a fifth baby Quentin is especially cool!

I just love Stella ❤️ Love it.

Hector is cool too.
