Following on from the threads of what is this person like by their name! We have decided not to find out about the sex of our first baby. So our options are down to Sebastian/ Hugo/ Henry or Frances/ Tabitha / Elizabeth.
Lighthearted! Who do you see as a grown up with any/all those names?

@HeronLanyon he did but I feel like I read a book where there was a character named Hugo who was a hunchback 🤔

All nice names my favourites are Frances and Sebastian

Sebastian - middle class upwards. No assumptions beyond that
Hugo - having a moment right now, but otherwise upper middle (or French)
Henry - loads of em, so none

Elizabeth - middle class ish? lovely and strong name - but popular
Tabitha - either hipster or upper middle. I sort of love it but probably wouldn’t want to be called it as an adult
Frances - but v underused right now and needs a revival, if I knew an adult called Frances right now would assume MC slightly bookish family

Really love all those names except Tabitha (which I can't stand, sorry).

I'd picture all 3 boys would be good looking, popular types. Decent desk-based jobs probably.

Frances and Elizabeth - attractive, outdoorsy, with professional jobs. Frances more fun than Elizabeth!

Literally exactly the same thoughts as me! Majority are nice names.

I genuinely can't stand the name Tabitha sorry, I can just imagine a crazy cat lady in her 60s with not very good personal hygiene, a messy house and long witchy grey hair. Even the sound of the name sets my teeth on edge as its a bit lispy and 'thick' sounding, not delicate at all.

I like Talitha though.
