Beatrice - ok but a bit flimsy. Prefer Beatrix

Cecily - dislike.

Giselle - dislike

Cordelia - ok but very frilly

Charlotte - dislike

Felicity - like

Matilda - love

Romilly - dislike

Rosabel/Roselyne/Rosamund/Rosina - love Rosamund

Laetitia- dislike

Bridget - love.

Cedric - awful. Really surprised it is getting so much love.

Magnus - dislike

Roland - awful. Rat.

Percy - point Percy at the porcelain

Frederick - ok

August - love. Gus as a short form is fab.

Clarence- pier

Rafferty - prefer Rafe but it is ok.

I would choose Matilda and August from your list. Most of the rest I would really not want to be called myself.

My fav names from your girl list:
Beatrice
Cordelia
Felicity
Bridget

My fav names from boys:
Magnus
Frederick

I’m surprised so many like Cedric. It brings to mind a snooty butler.

Beatrice - beautiful
Cecily -nice
Giselle -okay
Cordelia -meh
Charlotte -decent
Felicity -lovely
Matilda -alright
Romilly -nice
Rosabel/Roselyne/Rosamund/Rosina - Rosamund - pretty Rosalyne should be Rosalyn or Rosalind imo. I don’t like the others
Laetitia -not nice
Bridget -a bit dated
boys:
Cedric -unusual but nice
Magnus - really posh, not that much nickname potential
Roland -again it’s a bit dated
Percy - also very posh. Makes me think of Percy Pigs, nothing wrong with it though
Frederick - traditional, solid
August - would make the most sense if he were to be born in August but it’s alright
Clarence - not as nice as some of your other choices
Rafferty - lovely
