Cordelia - I really like it, I think Cordie is a cute NN
Giselle - not a fan
Juliet - not a fan
Beatrice - I really like it but prefer Beatrix Charlotte - it's ok, a bit bland. I'm sick to death of Lottie but I like Charley
Cecily - nice enough
Felicity - nice, I like Flick and Fliss as nns

Magnus - a friend recently called ger baby Magnus. I really like it
Dimitri - teenage me loved it, but i don't like it at all now
Sylvan - not a fan but I do really like Silvester Roland - I keep seeing this pop up but I really don't understand why
Percy - ok as a shortening for Percival
Frederick - I like Frederick but hate Freddie so much. Fred is ok
Clarence - not a fan

if I had to choose I'd go with Cordelia and Magnus

I like all of your girl names except Giselle. I like none of your boys names, sorry.

Puffykins · 25/06/2022 17:23

Love Cordelia. Love Frederick. Would probably think Dimitri odd, unless you have Slavic heritage.

Proudcarer100 · 25/06/2022 17:32

I LOVE Juliet

IStandWithMaya · 25/06/2022 17:41

Cordelia - love

Giselle - nice

Juliet - love (be aware there are two. common pronunciations)

Beatrice - love

Charlotte - love

Cecily - nice, but she'll be called 'Cess'

Felicity - love

Magnus - nice, but if he is really small or really big, he might not like his name

Dimitri - nice

Sylvan - love

Roland - no, he'll be called Roly Poly

Percy - no

Frederick - nice

Clarence - no

Love Cordelia and Magnus... had both names on my list but veto'd by my hubby!

Thatswhyimacat · 25/06/2022 20:13

I don't like Dimitri but the rest are all fine!

Ouchmytoe100 · 26/06/2022 07:26

I like:
Juliet, Beatrice
Magnus
Not keen on the others (the girl names are fine. But really dislike the boy names)

Mumofgirls2017 · 26/06/2022 07:49

I like Giselle and Juliet; Frederick and Magnus

i also like Clarence, Roland and Percy but know won’t be everyone’s taste!

milkmilkeverywhere · 26/06/2022 08:05

All lovely except Roland who is a rat.

I absolutely love Percy. Charlotte is my favourite from your list, it's such a timeless name

I like all of your girls names with the exception of Giselle.
I like Clarence and Dimitri from your boys list.

Theoldwoman · 06/06/2023 14:56

I love Charlotte, Juliet, Beatrice and Felicity from your girls list.
Nothing from your boys.

mathanxiety · 06/06/2023 15:51

I really like Juliet, Cecily, Roland, and Frederick.

The rest, not so much.

For girls I love all apart from Cordelia which seems a bit grumpy and Felicity as I know a few who are b**ches.

For boys they’re all ok but can’t do Roland after Schitts Creek and Percy seems odd to me. Love Magnus actually.
