Adelaide and Caspian for me. So glad Mango was a typo Grin Like Margot too, but would spell it with a T.

GalaxyCookieCrumble · 07/09/2020 03:28

The boys names sadly none
The girls names, Adelaide, beautiful name!

Suzi888 · 07/09/2020 03:35

Caspian and Heather

Mango, Forrest and Woody are awful

Mango 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for a good laugh on a Monday morning.

HeronLanyon · 07/09/2020 07:23

Just thought of new naming ‘protocol’
Alphonse - nn mango.
Victoria - nn plum.
Etc.
Food for thought ? Fruitful ?

For a boy I would choose Caspian or Fox from your list, for a girl it would be Paloma or Storm. Your list of names are lovely, some of the nicest I've seen on here instead of the usual boring "Charlotte, Emily, Olivia, William, Jack, Henry"

Puffalicious · 07/09/2020 13:50

Rufus only boy's name which is nice. Heather/ Margot ( only with the t) for girls.

Have Fox as the middle name for either! My cousin's little boy has Danger as a middle name which is magic!

Flynn2019 · 07/09/2020 13:54

To be honest I am of a different opinion than everyone else. I dislike Heather and Rosemary the most. They are the 'blah'. Love Forest and Woody for a boy. Girls wide I like Paloma.
I hate the boring usual names x

BabyLlamaZen · 07/09/2020 14:02

what about Julius but jules for short. Jules is very feminine so think it would be good if his full name isn't.

Viletta · 07/09/2020 18:21

Mango! Unisex

mamah2019 · 07/09/2020 20:33

You have an amazing name taste, right up my street!
I love Caspian, Jules and Paloma on your lists. To be honest I liked them all.

LilacSloth · 07/09/2020 20:53

August and Adelaide

FizzyGreenWater · 08/09/2020 08:57

Jules - only if Julian on bc
August - ok, sounds feminine, Augustus better
Forrest - the name of the disgusting pro-smoking group, bleurgh
Devon - girl's name
Clay - foul
Caspian - ok
Fox - ok
Orion - ok
Woody - bit naff
Bear - ok

Heather - so utterly depressing
Paloma - ok
Storm - dreadful
Marina - surprisingly boring, and bad short options
Adelaide - also tremendously boring/depressing
Rosemary - ok. Bit boring (a theme here!)
Mango - dreadful

What a weird list, especially for girls - either totally nuts or, of the more 'traditional' options, you've gone for longish/clunky/boring.

How about Otis for a boy, and Ramona for a girl?

FizzyGreenWater · 08/09/2020 09:00

Oh sorry missed your updated list!

Rufus 100%, please NO to Clifford!

Margot but please with the t. That is how it is spelled!

sunglassesonthetable · 08/09/2020 09:03

Not my style really but

August ( actually love this )

Rosemary

Ellmau · 08/09/2020 17:48

Rufus and Marina

consideratealpaca · 11/09/2020 11:39

Rufus is nice. I don't like the others.

Margot is beautiful, it was on my list. It needs the t on the end though.

Unseeliequeen · 11/09/2020 11:48

Storm-drain or Mango.
Potentially Mongoose.

PoodleMoth · 13/09/2020 20:13

Caspian and Marina

VenusClapTrap · 14/09/2020 16:09

August from your boys list.

I like all your girls names except Heather. Margot needs the t.

TheMarzipanDildo · 14/09/2020 16:13

I loved that your list went

Rosemary- nice trad name (IMO)
Mango- random as anything

TheMarzipanDildo · 14/09/2020 16:14

Margot I like, put the t on it!

Edenember · 15/09/2020 20:51

August and Adelaide
