Mary or Christopher.
Also quite like Henrietta

AdaColeman · 03/08/2023 01:16

I like
Henrietta
Christopher
Timothy

I'm not keen on any of the other names, my least favourites are Tiffany (who would surely get Tiffs or Tits as a school nn) and Dante.

There are two different styles

Henrietta, Mary and Annie, Christopher and Timothy
V
Amethyst and Tiffany, Dante and Grayson.

You could compromise and choose something like Amy (instead of Amethyst)?

Smallonesaremorejuicy · 03/08/2023 01:22

Please not Amethyst or Dante

MumofSpud · 03/08/2023 04:34

These are very varied!

For girls:
Amethyst ok
Henrietta prefer Hattie
Mary Yes
Annie no
Tiffany No too 80s / 90s

Boys:
Christopher no
Timothy no
Dante no
Grayson if pushed prefer Gray

Someoneonlyyouknow · 03/08/2023 04:44

Annie, Hetty or Christopher. That's all

NessieMcNessface · 03/08/2023 04:57

I LOVE Henrietta probably because I know a really nice person with this name. There are also so many abbreviations that can be used if wished eg Hen, Hettie, Etta etc. I also like Annie, Mary and Christopher. Sorry but I find Amethyst and Tiffany particularly awful: similarly Grayson and Dante.

Amethyst - sounds like a stripper name
Henrietta - love
Mary - like
Annie - awful, dull and insipid
Tiffany - ok, I like the name objectively but I think it has kind of stripper type connotations too (although the Tiffany I know is lovely, intelligent and successful)

Boys:
Christopher - love
Timothy - like
Dante - dislike
Grayson - love

Tiffany, Grayson and Dante really awful.
Amethyst OK. I know one but she calls herself Amy now.
