Thoughts on our lists please?

[motherhubbardscupboards]

Girls:

• Clara
• Felicity
• Liberty
• Audrey
• Tess

Boys:

• Edward
• Joseph
• Fabian
• Rudy
• Guy
• (DH wild card is Rupert) I'm not keen!

Would love some of your thoughts together with any additional suggest we may like.

I like Clara, Felicity, Edward and Joseph.

Tess for a girl and Edward for a boy

Just one thing to note that you might not have realised with Felicity: it is often shortened to Flick. This might not be an issue for you but can have certain connotations!

Hmm didn't think of Flick @elldog6 Fliss isbetter but you can't force nicknames outside of the family home, something to think about. Thanks!

Girls:

• Clara - ok, quite trendy at the moment
• Felicity - dislike, lovely meaning but quite horsey. I once knew one who was very annoying and went by the nn 'Fizz'
• Liberty - nope, a bit much
• Audrey - quite like, possibly a bit 'old lady'
• Tess - quite like, not sure about it as a full name though, sounds quite nicknamey

Other names you might like: Ivy, Iris, Verity, Camille, Violet, Audra, Beatrice/ Beatrix, Hazel, Celeste, Florence, Nell, Ada, Polly, Josephine.

Boys:

• Edward - quite like
• Joseph - bit dull
• Fabian - awful
• Rudy - prefer as a girl's name
• Guy - maybe - I knew one who was lovely and very handsome!
• Rupert - ok, I like Roo as a nn
• Saul - really like the sound, but a bit too biblical for me

How about - Reuben, Rowan, Frederick/ Fred, Louis, Henry, Leonard / Leo, Laurence / Laurie, Joel, Seth, Levi, Rory.

Don't let it put you off though! Felicity itself is a lovely name, as are all the others in my opinion

I love:
Felicity
Audrey
Tess
I like Clara. I dislike Liberty.

I love:
Edward
Rupert
I like:
Joseph
Rudy
Guy
I dislike Fabian.

Saul and Tess

Clara, Liberty and Guy.
I love Guy, and I don't know any.

Love Joseph and Tess. Liberty is my guilty pleasure name (I could never use it as that's what George Osborne named his baby 😅).

How about Josephine (Josie) for a girl?

Girls:
I love Audrey, think it's totally overdue a comeback. Really not keen on Felicity or Clara - makes me think of posh horsey girls.

Boys:
Edward is lovely, really classic. Hard to go wrong.

Fabian, Rupert and Guy - again, too posh for me. They sound like Rugby boys in red trousers.
Saul - really don't like but can't put my finger on why.

All your posts are so helpful, thank you! Please do keep them coming :)

@CatandBaby think it is more of a guilty pleasure for me too! Don't know if I can see us actually using it but the others I definitely could use

I like all of the girls names except Tess. To me Tess is a nickname not a full name.

I like all of the boys names except Fabian which sounds like a girls name to me. Not keen on Rudy either. Probably because round here Rudy is used as a noun by kids. E.g. You’re a Rudy (or sometimes a Rudy Doody) for example if the boys saw your knickers. Meaning you’re rude, basically.

Love Tess and Guy

• Clara - lovely
• Felicity - really lovely
• Liberty - really dislike
• Audrey - it's ok but I struggle to get past tawdry
• Tess - stunning

• Edward - lovely
• Joseph - nice enough. Bored by Joe.
• Fabian - lovely
• Rudy - don't like at all
• Guy - ok
• Rupert - gorgeous
• Saul - ok

I would go for Rupert or Fabian and Tess or Felicity

Clara Felicity and Audrey are all gorgeous from you girl list
For a boy I love the classic-ness of Edward or Joseph. Guy is ok
