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 😍

Fabian was a teenage star in the late 50's and 60's.
I see nothing wrong with it.

I love love love your girls’ names. All were in my list!
I think Claudia and Felicity are my top.
Out of the boys, definitely Edward.

Clara and Edward. Clara is a beautiful name.

A girl I went to school with was felicity and shortened it to Fizzy. Which when combined with her surname made her sound like a sweet. It put me right off the name. Felix makes me think of a cat. Sorry.

Clara Carter -love this
Felicity Carter - love this too
Claudia Carter - love this too but somehow Claudia Carter goes least well for me

Fabian Carter - gorgeous
Felix Carter - I like Felix but it is quite popular, I do know a lot
Edward Carter - I like this. All your names are nice

Clara and Felix

My favourite two are Claudia and Edward. I'm not keen on Felicity and Felix. I've met a couple a fairly cool teenage Fabians but it's not my taste. Clara is nice enough.

mintich · 21/07/2020 19:09

Felicity and Felix

CeibaTree · 21/07/2020 19:16

Felicity and Felix.
I like the name Claudia but it's meaning would put me off using it!

VenusClapTrap · 21/07/2020 20:34

Claudia and Fabian would be my choice. Definitely not Clara - it’s a nice enough name but it sounds terrible with Carter.

JanewaysBun · 21/07/2020 20:40

Love love love Claudia!

Boy name - Felix!

rainbows93 · 21/07/2020 21:05

Love Clara, Claudia is okay, not keen on Felicity.

Love Felix, like Edward, not keen on Fabian.

Tavannach · 21/07/2020 21:10

Claudia and Edward

Clara and Felix

Clara love it
Claudia nice
Felicity Carter ( sound prissy)

Felix — great
Edward - dull
Fabian - don’t like

sel2223 · 22/07/2020 01:06

I'm really not a fan of matching initials (I can't remember what it's called) so that would rule out 2 of your girls names (CC)

I vote Felicity and Edward

Fawnandwren · 22/07/2020 01:10

I hate Felicity and Felix, I don't know why these names are popular. They are really weak, needy names. Love Clara and Fabian, have you thought of Caspian as you mentioned you liked Casper? Caspian Carter sounds lovely

Fawnandwren · 22/07/2020 01:11

*nerdy not needy

Enough4me · 22/07/2020 01:18

Felicity - nn Flick?
FlickCarter, like flick harder?

Claudia & Edward
