Robin LOVE but I’d spell Robyn for girl. Robin boy
Etta LOVE
Olive LOVE (2nd Fav)

I like Frank and Thea. Or how about Clara or Quentin?

Yes sorry I said “it’s ok” about Thea but thinking about it I really like it

Boys list:
Wilfred - ok
Percy - not ok
Frank - ok
Herbert - not ok

Girls list:
Willa - willy
Robin - Robyn
Etta - Ate a what?
Olive - oily fruit
Navy - a bit out there (in the middle of the ocean)
Sunday - ok
Thea - ok but will be Fea
Fable - Feeble
Acacia - a bit out there and seems to go well with Avenue
Ottilie - not keen

Thea - ok but will be Fea

Do most Theos and Theas really became Feeo and Feea?! Must depend where you live.

I'm in the Sarf East. The kids around here are called things like Arfur, Alfie, Albie and Raphael, or Elsie, Daisy or Chanel.

Felicity
Matilda
Molly

James
Benjamin
Max

Love Percy and Olive ❤️

Sebastian? I like Robyn and Ottilie.

Robyn, Thea and Etta are OK. Navy, Sunday and Fable are ridiculous. Not keen on your boys names.

@ilovechocolatebiscuits I LOVE Willa and Wilfred - two of my absolute favourites !!

@MikeUniformMike

Not sure how Willa sounds like Willy but ok

Robin and Olive also on my girls list. They are lovely and I intend on using this spelling. Its perfectly acceptable and ONS stats show used by lots of people.

Willa, Frank, Wilfred, Olive, Robin are all beautiful! Ps: Willa doesn’t sound anymore like ‘willy’ than William does which is a regularly suggested MN favorite - I neverbunferstand why MN loves William and Willow but not Willa

I think Frank goes amazingly with Arthur. Makes me think of two little east end boys from the 1950s (in a cool way!). Also Olive and Willa go best from the girls list

It's too bad you don't like Herbert any more because Bertie goes great with Arthur.

Dick Strawbridge and his wife Angela have called their two children Arthur and Dorothy (Escape to the Chateau)

@veeboo same as me- if I was to use it it would be Robin not Robyn

@Jossina I can't decide- one hour I hate it the next I love it but our dogs name begins with H which I think is why I wouldn't use it

@JolieOBrien omg I actually love Dorothy!
