Any reason why some names have one middle and some have two? I like August/Magnus Roland, but don't like either Storm or Hart. Both feel way too trendy for my tastes. Cecily Beatrice is lovely.

August Roland Hart - ok
Cedric Amaury Storm - Storm is awful.
Magnus Roland - great name for a boring geography teacher.
Cecily Beatrice - Beatrice Cecily sounds better.
Charlotte Idony - Idony is awful.
Juliet Melusine Flora - Melusine is awful. The whole thing sounds like a plant name.

Why don't you like the baby?

Velvetbee · 11/06/2022 11:12

All rather gorgeous. If you move in circles where these names are acceptable/people around you are not arseholes (I do), then go for it.

pinklavenders · 11/06/2022 11:13

I like them all! My favourites are Cedric and Cecily- beautiful.

DuchessOfSausage · 11/06/2022 11:26

August Roland Hart - the August ruins the flow
Cedric Amaury Storm - all awful
Magnus Roland - like
Cecily Beatrice - Beatrice Cecily is nicer
Charlotte Idony - Charlotte is nice, not keen on Idony
Juliet Melusine Flora - prefer Flora Juliet

Lizzieismagic · 11/06/2022 11:28

Cedric?
Oh my days..

LisaSimpson77 · 11/06/2022 11:37

Erm.... is this some sort of a novel you're writing?
Because if it's an actual real baby boy you're naming you might want to simplify a bit.

Marcus and Roland are ok names, not my taste but alright.
Cedric, Amauray, Hart and Storm are all incredibly pretentious.

Girls names are much nicer.
Cecily, Beatrice
Charlotte , Flora, Juliet are all quite nice, I'd go for Juliet Charlotte myself.

Idony is a pretty name, quite unusual
Melusine never heard of it, does it have some sort of cultural/family significance?

Aspirational names, if your child manages to survive school with them then I am sure they will go on to achieve a life which lives up to them, rolling acres, a Georgian Manor House, assorted gun dogs, a safe Conservative seat……

Moosake · 11/06/2022 11:44

Are the middle names family names?

Zpoa · 11/06/2022 11:49

Love Charlotte and Magnus.

if your child manages to survive school with them

Where do you live that people are so narrow minded?

Most people and children I know are very open minded and wouldn't bat an eyelid at any of those names, or any other unusual or foreign names!

ofwarren · 11/06/2022 12:09

August Roland Hart - Nice

Cedric Amaury Storm - I don't like any of the names in this combo.

Magnus Roland - Nice

Cecily Beatrice - I love it

Charlotte Idony - Love Charlotte but not Idony

Juliet Melusine Flora - Love Juliet, Not keen on Melusine and Flora is nice but makes me think of the margarine.

Yes, mumsnet members seems way preoccupied in this thread and others.
I would rethink my names and open a new thread.

August Roland Hart love 1 and 2 but Hart is a surname not a name
Cedric Amaury Storm 1 and 2 are fine but I think of Storm as a girls name
Magnus Roland dislike Magnus but its fundamentally ok
Cecily Beatrice cute
Charlotte Idony never heard of idony. Is it i-dony or EYE-dony. I like it I think
Juliet Melusine Flora also never heard of Melusine, I wouldn't pick it for a first name but I think the combo is fine

toastofthetown · 11/06/2022 19:15

Some of the replies here are bonkers. Not saying I like all of the names, but imagining that a child wouldn't survive school with a name as inoffensive as Charlotte is beyond me.

ChagSameachDoreen · 11/06/2022 19:36

They're all extremely pretentious. Individually some of the names are ok (Cecily, Charlotte) but the combinations are too much.

Kanaloa · 11/06/2022 19:40

They sound very much like a signature from nameberry (where people seem to aim to name their child as if they’re a tragic Brontë hero) rather than names for a child. They’re all very flowery/OTT to me. Try to also take into account that nobody will ever ever call your child Cedric Amaury Storm. They’ll be called Cedric. So just pick the name you like best. For what it’s worth I think they’re all a little pretentious but Charlotte, Juliet, Magnus & August are lovely. It’s just the melodramatic middle names I think are a bit much, but they’ll never be used.

Are you posh?

valerianaofficiana · 11/06/2022 20:46

Only if the names have been in the family for generations. Otherwise desperately, desperately trying too hard.

What exactly does that mean in 2022??

WeasilyPleased · 11/06/2022 22:20

I quite like them especially Magnus Roland and Beatrice Cecily.

August Roland Hart - ok, you have to say AuGUST not AUGust, why roland. I just think rat.
Cedric Amaury Storm - no, poncy, weird, and a bit hunger games.
Magnus Roland - love magnus but stop it with roland.

Cecily Beatrice - I like this, even though it's a lot of esses. It's stil nice
Charlotte Idony - Charlotte is ok, and the other name is too made up sounding. Even if it's not.
Juliet Melusine Flora - Juliet is lovely, my favourite by far. Juliet Flora would get my vote. The other name is weird. Where are you getting these names from. Are they french? Excuse my ignorance but they just sound a bit self conscious up your own derriere et tres comfortable la bas
