From your girls list I only really like Lily, the others are just not to my taste - but they're all nice names!

I love Charles, followed by Hugo and Arthur. I'd never heard of Dunvegan before, Rowse sounds too much like 'browse' to my ears.

Congratulations on the baby Smile

mistermagpie · 07/01/2021 16:39

Girls are all nice.

Boys - not sure about Rowse at all, and Dunvegan is awful but the others are nice!

SmeleanorSmellstrop · 07/01/2021 16:40

Love Clementine and Genevieve
Like Lily
Dislike the others.

Foe the boys, just like Hugo and Arthur

Ginevere · 07/01/2021 16:43

Sorry but Dunny immediately made me think of the toilet on I’m a celebrity! Do NOT call your child that!

The girls names are all lovely, aside from Hugo I’m not keen on the boys. Maybe you should choose some boy names as you seem better at it!

Ladsladslads · 07/01/2021 16:44

Isn't dunny Aussie slang for a toilet?!

pinacollama · 07/01/2021 16:45

My favourite from the girls list is Clementine. I’d love to use that but my husband isn’t so keen. And from the boys I think it’s Arthur, though Hugo is nice too. I’ve not heard of Rowse or Dunvegan and I’m not sure how much I like them.

FreakyZoey95 · 07/01/2021 16:46

@Ginevere and @Ladsladslads god I hadn't even thought of the loo connection!! DH loves the name Dunvegan because it's his fav Scottish castle and pub, I'm not so sure!!

Dunvegan is awful, as is Rowse.

Iremembertheelderlykoreanlady · 07/01/2021 16:58

Lily is nice but quite popular (If that bothers you) the others girls names sound quite pretentious

Arthur is nice for a boy

Alwayswrongneverright · 07/01/2021 17:25

I only like 2 names sorry, 1 of each, Phillipa and hugo

DramaAlpaca · 07/01/2021 17:28

I like Clementine, Genevieve and Lily. I also like Philippa (this is the usual spelling, btw). Jade is very 90s and in a different style to the others.

Of the boys' names, none float my boat at all except for Arthur.

emmathedilemma · 07/01/2021 17:28

Did you spend your summer holidays on Skye by any chance? ;)

I like Clementine, Arthur and Charles but not keen of your others. You can't have a child with a nickname Dunny!

chipsandgin · 07/01/2021 17:31

Congratulations Flowers

Girls names Clementine & Lily & the more traditional ones for the boys - definitely avoid any toilet based names, including Dunny!

Standrewsschool · 07/01/2021 17:36

Girls names - lovely. Lily is a lot more popular than the other names.

Bots - lovely except for Rowse - never heard of it and don’t particularly like it. Also Dunvegan - sounds like a house name of someone who’s returned to eating meat

POP7777777 · 07/01/2021 17:41

They're all lovely! Philippa (Pippa 🥰) and Arthur are my favourites.

FluffyEggsontoast · 07/01/2021 17:43

Love Clementine and Arthur

DueMay2021 · 07/01/2021 18:08

I really like Genevieve and Arthur beautiful names

SendHelp30 · 07/01/2021 18:09

Arthur is fine but very popular, I know 5 under 4.

The others are awful, sorry.

Congrats

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 07/01/2021 19:33

Of your boys, I only really like the classic Charles (although I like Hugh rather than more trendy Hugo). Arthur is a bit trendy/popular but is also okay.

Of the girls: Genevieve is lovely, Lily is pretty (but very popular), and Phillipa is okay (but could have spelling issues).

ClarasZoo · 07/01/2021 19:47

Philippa is spelt Philippa...

Firebird83 · 07/01/2021 22:25

Rowse and Dunvegan are awful. Dunny is slang for toilet.

Philippa is spelled this way.

I like Clementine, Genevieve, Hugo and Charles best.

partyatthepalace · 08/01/2021 00:13

Genevieve, Philippa - both great (Philippa is usually spelt single l, double p)
Clementine - bit twee but nice
Lily - very twee, overused, and unfortunate on a bigger girl
Jade - downmarket for decades (big brother etc)

Arthur - lovely, v popular
Charles - great, classic, Charlie a nice nn
Hugo - bit poncy but nice
Rowse - kinda ugly
Dunvegan (Dunny) - Dunny is slang for toilet! Don’t (full name as middle name maybe)

maddsclairelouise · 08/01/2021 00:15

Congratulations Hun Flowers !

I think all your girls names are lovely! I personally LOVE Clementine!

You have some very unique boy names! My favs are Arthur and Rowse!

MercyBodle · 08/01/2021 00:26

Love:
Clementine, Philippa, Genevieve, Hugo
Like:
Lily, Charles, Arthur
Dislike:
Jade

Only for middle names: Rowse, Dunvegan.

danascully96 · 08/01/2021 01:16

I’d go for Charles (Charlie) and Lily myself! Arthur has an unappealing sound to me, but I suppose it would be cute on a bespectacled boy like the name Theodore. Both old mannish, but possibly endearing. I just get too many easy rhymes with Arthur that are unfortunate Blush

Hugo’s nice — dashing and European, so that would be my second choice behind Charles.

The rest I’m not keen on.
