I like Annie and Christopher. Amethyst possibly as an ‘exotic’ middle name. Otherwise they’re not to my taste.

Holly60 · 02/08/2023 17:22

Dislike all of them except Henrietta which is a lovely name

ladygindiva · 02/08/2023 17:27

Henrietta nn Hetty is nice.

ladygindiva · 02/08/2023 17:28

Christopher's a great name. Kit, Chris, for short.

abbiemk · 02/08/2023 17:30

Annie, Christopher and Grayson are the only nice ones in my opinion x

I only like Christopher from your list.

category12 · 02/08/2023 17:35

Mary and Annie are so dull.

mathanxiety · 02/08/2023 17:38

Annie, Mary, and Henrietta are lovely.

Amethyst OK for a middle name.

Tiffany not great.

Christopher and Timothy are nice though a bit dated. Kit is a nice NN for Christopher.

Dante is nice though unusual.

Grayson is not to my taste.

shoopshoopdedoo · 02/08/2023 17:38

Mary, Annie and Christopher are OK. I’m not keen on the others, and especially dislike Amethyst, Tiffany, Dante and Grayson.

glitterfarts · 02/08/2023 17:38

Amethyst - stripper name
Henrietta - nms. Hefty is ok
Mary - ok. Prefer Marie
Annie - nice
Tiffany - American 80's sounding

Boys: all ok
Christopher
Timothy
Dante
Grayson

I like Mary and Annie, not the others. They're refreshingly simple and classic. Henrietta is very clunky and Tiffany has a bit of a downmarket 80s vibe. Amethyst, pretty stone, but I think it's a bit odd as a name to be honest, the sounds are a bit clunky.

Don't like any of the boys names, sorry. I know Christopher and Timothy are classic, but I just don't like them that much, not sure they are ready for a revival. Timothy seems a bit wussy. How about Christian or Thomas?

babysharkdoodoodedoodedoo · 02/08/2023 18:04

Love Annie and Mary, like Christopher!

17caterpillars1mouse · 02/08/2023 18:13

For girls:
Amethyst - pretty in a 'I changed my name as the teenager to Amethyst' kind of way

Henrietta - lovely, also love Hetty

Mary - nice, probably die a comeback

Annie - really like it but would use a more formal name on the birth certificate

Tiffany - feels out of place with your ither choices, quite dated and american sounding

Boys:

Christopher - like when shortened to Kit
Timothy - ok, bit dated
Dante - not a fan
Grayson - not a fan

salamithumbs · 02/08/2023 18:31

I like Annie and Christopher best! Lovely names 😍
Mary sounds a bit sad/serious to me, Henrietta kind of pretentious, and Tiffany a bit dated I think. Amethyst is nice enough but too out there for my taste. Maybe as a middle name, or Amethyst nicknamed Amy?
I think Dante and Grayson are very trendy sounding and will date (if they haven't already) while Timothy just sounds a bit wet to my ears!

salamithumbs · 02/08/2023 18:32

Forgot to add, I would probably use Anneliese or Juliana or something with Annie as a nickname but Annie is nice either way!

UsingChangeofName · 02/08/2023 18:35

Mary and Annie are nice enough.

If I had to choose one from your boys' list I'd go with Christopher but I don't really think the World is ready for it to be revived yet.

FayCarew · 02/08/2023 19:55

For girls:

Henrietta - too long, Harriet is great
Mary - lovely
Annie - like

Boys:
