Thanks for all your help. We have finally agreed on our top three names...

Girl names:
Clara Carter
Claudia Carter
Felicity Carter

Boy names:
Felix Carter
Edward Carter
Fabian Carter

(Yes Casper has gone 😩 DH didn't love)

Please could you pick your favourite names/order them from favourite to least favourite.

We are now thinking of not using a middle name, because who uses them anyway and the alliteration names definitely don't need to be broken up 😍

Out of the girls name my favourite is Felicity. I am not keen on any of the boys names sorry but would choose Fabian if I had to pick one. I instantly think of Felix the cat when I see Felix.

Felicity
Felix

Girl names:
Clara Carter - love. Wow what a cool name
Claudia Carter - dislike meaning of Claudia and Claude. Just not quite as nice sounding as Clara Carter anyway. Doesn't have the same ring to it.
Felicity Carter - really great and if there wasn't alliteration I'd maybe vote felicity but Clara gets my vote. I think you'd regret not using Clara Carter as those two names just sound like they were made to be used together.

Boy names:
Felix Carter - love
Edward Carter - love
Fabian Carter dislike

Felicity and Felix 😊

Pippilangstrumpfie · 21/07/2020 15:29

Felicity and Fabian!

AteAllTheAfterEights · 21/07/2020 15:29

Clara or Felicity
Edward if you’ll use Ted

TooBusyBeingYoursToFall · 21/07/2020 15:31

Clara is my favourite girls name but it sounds ridiculous with the surname, so I'd go with Felicity.

I like Edward and Fabian, but not Felix.

Itsallthedramamick · 21/07/2020 15:31

Order of preference:
Felicity
Clara
Claudia

Felix
Edward
Fabian

Personally not keen on Claudia or Fabian at all. Really like the other four

Poppydaisie · 21/07/2020 15:31

Clara and Edward.

Don't like Felix

octoberfarm · 21/07/2020 15:35

Absolutely adore Clara Carter, and love Edward Carter too!

daisypond · 21/07/2020 15:35

Claudia. Clara doesn’t sound right with the surname. It’s a bit nothingy. Felicity is fine.
Any of the boys’ names. Probably Edward.

cptartapp · 21/07/2020 15:37

Love Edward in its entirety. No contrived nn. Don't like the other boys names at all. Fabian is too effeminate to my ears.
Felicity.

CLara/Claudia.

sunrainwind · 21/07/2020 15:39

I like Clara and Edward (don't like Ted or Teddy though if you're thinking of this route). I am not so keen on the other names but Clara and Edward are lovely.

Beeinthecountry · 21/07/2020 15:39

Clara and Edward

madcow88 · 21/07/2020 15:50

Felicity

Felix

elfran · 21/07/2020 15:52

For a girl, Felicity or Claudia.
Love the alliteration of Claudia Carter but prefer Felicity as a name. Clara Carter is somehow too much alliteration for me (also I hate the name, sorry).

For a boy, Felix.

DramaAlpaca · 21/07/2020 15:57

In order of preference:

Felicity
Claudia
Clara

Edward
Fabian
Felix

LadyCatStark · 21/07/2020 16:03

I don’t like the alliteration or the repetition of the ‘ar’ sound. I do love Felicity.

I like all of the boy names so no help sorry!

autumnkate · 21/07/2020 16:15

Like Claudia a lot.

Strongly dislike Fabian. Would you want to
be a teenage boy called Fabian?

joyjester · 21/07/2020 16:21

Clara carter..what a fabulous name!

Sojo88 · 21/07/2020 16:23

I prefer Felicity and Felix - I know it's not ideal two siblings having the same initials because of mail but I don't think that would be a reason not to give them those names if you wanted them.

Poppydaisie · 21/07/2020 16:40

Would you want to be a teenage boy called Fabian?

Yes, I love it!

userabcname · 21/07/2020 16:45

Felicity and Felix

MondeoFan · 21/07/2020 16:47

Claudia
Edward

Can't stand Felix
Felicity a bit too popular around here

TheVanguardSix · 21/07/2020 16:48

Felicity and Felix
