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 😍

Claudia & Edward for me 💚

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 22/07/2020 07:28

Only ones I'm not keen on are Clara and Claudia. The rest are lovely.

ittooshallpass · 22/07/2020 08:16

Only like Felicity and Edward. Other names either don't work with the surname or are just cringey- sorry but Fabian is awful.

sweetnosugar · 22/07/2020 10:07

Clara or Felicity, definitely Edward.

AdelaideK · 22/07/2020 10:14

Clara sounds ridiculous with your surname.

Felicity is nice.

Fabian made me laugh but Edward and Felix are ok.

YellowEllis · 22/07/2020 10:20

Clara and Edward.

LadyLovelyLockz · 22/07/2020 10:24

Clara and Edward

Whatsyourflava · 22/07/2020 12:47

Clara Carter is too perfect not to use
Like Felicity too but hate Claudia

Love your boys names except Fabian which I really dislike

daisypond · 22/07/2020 18:07

Not Clara. It’s very naff and cringeworthy with your surname.

iprefercatstohumans · 22/07/2020 21:06

Thanks all, all helpful posts.

I really like the alliteration names, they don't feel cringey to me but appreciate the opinions.

Also re Claudia, I've done lots of research into the name, there was actually a pre-claudus meaning of the name which meant gentle lamb.. a much nicer association ☺️

Clara Carter is my fave though but DH prefers Claudia as he thinks the three syllables sounds better with our surname.

I know it's a bit marmite but I really love Fabian. Edward is an ever-fave of mine too!

Girl names:
Clara Carter - no, names don't go together well, and i don't like Clara
Claudia Carter - ok
Felicity Carter - I'm not keen on Felicity

Boy names:
Felix Carter - I hear it as Felic Scarter
Edward Carter - yes
Fabian Carter - no

Jen435 · 23/07/2020 14:50

Felicity (not a fan of the alliteration)
Claudia
Clara (Clara Carter is one hell of a mouthful)

Edward - yes
Felix - yes
Fabian - no

yikesanotherbooboo · 23/07/2020 15:57

All nice.
Faves are Felix followed by Edward
Felicity followed v closely by Clara

TinyButton · 23/07/2020 19:40

Felicity Carter and Edward Carter are the only ones that don't sound like their mother is trying too hard to be a quirky Yummy Mummy.

SweatyAndyFromWoking · 23/07/2020 19:44

It's Claudia and Felix for me

(sorry but Clara Carter said quickly together sounds like decking paint/DIY product)

wizzler · 23/07/2020 19:53

Felicity and Felix

Mish85 · 24/07/2020 00:30

Clara and Felix.

iprefercatstohumans · 25/07/2020 16:03

Thanks for the help everyone x

I like all the girls name but my favourite is Clara.
From your boys names I like Edward best.

lemyn · 26/07/2020 03:27

Absolutely love Clara, it's short but so beautiful. I'd like Claudia if it didn't remind me of Chlamydia (Sorry.) I don't really like Felicity but there's nothing wrong with it either. Felix is my favourite of your boy names. Edward and Fabian aren't my taste but once again nothings wrong with them.

Jessabean · 26/07/2020 07:06

My votes would be:
Clara > felicity

Edward/Felix

Sorry Claudia and Fabian aren't to my taste- Claudia just sounds frumpy to me & Fabian I think sounds a bit try too hard posh name.
Think Clara is beautiful so gets my vote though Felicity goes very well with your surname even though the name is a little meh for me personally.

Edward and Felix are both lovely names and go very well with your surname. Depends if you like the nn's of Edward as well though.

aprilfools19 · 26/07/2020 12:14

I don’t love any of the girls names but would go with felicity. Edward I love one of my top 3 boys names !

WildCherryBlossom · 26/07/2020 14:25

How about Magnus Carter? 😂

Joking aside I really like alliterative names so Clara or Claudia Carter sound great to me. Both lovely names.

Of your boys names I love Felix.

IckleBear · 26/07/2020 14:44

Claudia Carter
Fabian Carter
