Would you?

[upsidedownroundabout]

Found some fabulous names in one of my DCs books... which of these would you use?

Minnie
Esmerelda
Millicent
Flossie
Tansy
Pansy
Ernestine

Decimus
Philbert
Dorkin
Rufus
Jerome
Phoenix
Balthazar
Lysander

Eglantine?

Girls - Ernestine - don't love it but only one I would consider on your list.

Boys - Balthazar - love this name

I might use Flossie but quite honestly dislike or even hate the others.

Balthazar is my least favourite. It reminds me of the scene in Brooklyn 99 where Captain Holt has a goiter (swelling/lump on the neck) as a result of having the Mumps and he names the goiter Balthazar

Ernestine and Lysander

Dont like any of them. Sorry

Minnie - a bit twee for me
Esmerelda - lovely but probably wouldn’t use it, still reminds me of Hunchback of Notre Dame
Millicent - hate it, Millie is fine
Flossie - would use Florence with this as nn
Tansy - pretty
Pansy - no, derogatory term
Ernestine - no, too much like Ernest

Decimus - not unless I’d had nine previous children
Philbert - ugh
Dorkin - no
Rufus - one of my favourites
Jerome - quite like it
Phoenix - too try hard
Balthazar - it’s ok
Lysander - don’t like the character, he’s wet

I like Phoenix and Esmerelda
