Our list - yes, no, opinions, please....

[Bunstheway]

A long one as we like a range of names but looking to narrow down so hoping your thoughts will assist:

Boys:
Kit
Robin
Edward
Sonny
Joss
Joseph
Guy
Xander

Girls:
Vivienne
Felicity
May
Lara
Fleur
Joss again but for a girl
Cleo
Constance (DH hates but I'm slipping it in haha!)

Please help :) xx

Edward or Joseph
Kit is ok but put Christopher as the fn

Viviene
Lara
Clio

Joseph
Xander

Vivienne
Lara

I like them all except Kit (kat) and Sonny (and Cher). I was considering Joslyn / Joslin (Joss) myself actually.

Boys:
Kit - God no
Robin - It's ok
Edward - No
Sonny - Hell no
Joss - No
Joseph - It's ok
Guy - No
Xander - It's ok

Girls:
Vivienne - Yes
Felicity - No
May - No
Lara - No
Fleur - No
Joss again but for a girl - Yes
Cleo - Yes
Constance - Hell no

I don't understand why people say 'X is nice as the nn, but use Y for the fn'. If X is the name you like, use it! Personally I love Kit (and think Christopher is gross). And I like names that can't be shortened. Also love Robin and Joseph.

On the girls' names, Vivienne and Constance are great.

My favourites are Edward and Constance

Boys:
Kit - I like but as a nn for Christopher or Christian

Robin - nice, though I know a few under 2s

Edward - OK, very popular atm
Sonny- not a fan, too nickname
Joss - love it
Joseph - lovely classic
Guy - dislike
Xander - like as a nn for Alexander

Girls:
Vivienne - love it
Felicity - nice
May - love it as a first name
Laura - nice
Fleur - nice
Joss again but for a girl - I adore Jocelyn nn Joss
Cleo - not a fan
Constance - love but if your dh hates it then I'd disgard it as you wouldn't want your husband to hate your daughters name surely

Love love love May!
Love Joseph too

Love sunny or sonny snd Cleo. Both on my list. Don't like the others much, just not my taste but they will be plenty of other peoples

Love Edward and Joseph and have a soft spot for Sonny.

Love Vivienne and Lara.

Some great feedback, thanks. Hoping to have plenty more if possible for us to read together xx

Of the boys, Kit and Robin are cute, Edward is fine , Joseph fine. Sonny is dreadful as is Joss (for a boy) - just sounds like a misspelling of Josh.

Sonny yes
Joss no
Joseph no
Guy really no
Xander no

Girls:
Vivienne no
Felicity no

Yes to Edward and Joseph.
No to all the girls. Like Cara (instead of Lara) though.
