Narrow down our list

[Giles1008]

We aren’t finding out the sex, we have a son Maximilian Arthur - goes by Max. I like a name that is longer than can be shortened. Don’t like super modern names Coby, Rocco etc

Boys
Casper
Sebastian
Barnaby/ Barney
Gabriel
August
Theodore - I’m not 100% on this

Girls
Matilda - the name we had for our son
Margot/ Margaux
Ida
Harriet/ Hattie
Olive
Ottilie
Felicity

or any suggestions we might also like?

Nice lists. I like Casper and Ottilie or Olive.
A few other ideas…

Hector
Cassius
Gilbert

Idalyn (to make it longer)
Persephone
Theodora
Rosalind/Rosamund/Rosaline
Genevieve

Florence / Flo / Florrie
beatrice / Bee
Annabelle / Bella / Annie
Constance / Connie
Henrietta / Etta

They're great names. Do you pronounce August like the month?
Love Casper.
Also: Frederick, Monty, Ambrose
Caroline, Madeleine, Hermione

Montgomery/ Monty
William /Will/Bill /Billy
Alistair / Al /Ali
Wilfred /Wilf
Andrew /Drew
Reuben /Ru

Barnaby / Barney /Olive / Hattie

All nice names though!

Girls - Matilda or Harriet/Hattie

boys - Sebastian or Gabriel

Casper - Casper/Caspar ...
Sebastian - not keen
Barnaby/ Barney - lovely
Gabriel - not keen
August - Augustus nn Gus is better
Theodore - I 100% don't like it

Matilda - fine maybe too Max and Mat too much
Margot/ Margaux - no, too trendy. Margaux is ddreadful
Ida - Ida Clough off Corrie
Harriet/ Hattie - lovely
Olive - no
Ottilie - yuk
Felicity - fine but long

Casper, Theodore for boys. I like Gabriel and Barnaby but don’t think they go with Maximilian.

Matilda, Margot, Felicity for girls.

Rupert
Frederick
Conrad

Adelaide
Elizabeth
Henrietta
Louisa

I prefer Caspar to Casper
Sebastian - not a fan
Barnaby/ Barney - nice
Gabriel - really dislike this - sorry
August - NO
Theodore - favourite of your list

Girls
Matilda - nice
Margot/ Margaux and Ida - really dislike
Harriet - lovely
Olive - lovely
Ottilie - lovely
Felicity - lovely!

The names on your boy list are all great imo - if I had to pick one, it would be Barnaby.

From your girl list I love Matilda, though would two M first initials matter to you?

Felicity goes well with Maximilian too.

Of the others, I like Hattie, though as a NN for Henrietta. Max and Hattie has a nice ring to it, I think.

Suggestions:
Casimir
Nathaniel
Dominic
Benjamin
Solomon

Penelope
Arabella
Magdalena
Adelaide
Christabel

Theodore, (or at least Theo), Olive and Ottilie quite trendy atm if that's a concern.
I vote Gabriel or August, Matilda or Margot.

My favourites are Barnaby and felicity. Also like Theodore and Matilda but think Matilda is too close to max with the first 2 letters being the same. I also like Verity, Georgina and Benedict or Alexander.

Boys
Casper - nice, though prefer Cassian
Sebastian - ok
Barnaby/ Barney - nice prefer Barnabas
Gabriel - nice
August - faddy - prefer Augustus
Theodore - I’m not 100% on this - done to death so I’d ditch

Girls
Matilda - the name we had for our son - nice but overused and a bit much with Max
Margot/ Margaux - being very overused
Ida - I like it
Harriet/ Hattie - nice
Olive - little green thing
Ottilie - far too fussy
Felicity - my favourite

Other ideas

Nico (Nicholas or Dominic)
Nate (Nathaniel)
Al (Alistair)
Jonny (Jonathan)
Frank (Francis or Franklin)
Laurence (Laurie)

Vivi (Verity or Vivienne)
Cassie (Cassia)
Callie (Caroline)
Sukey (Susannah)
Jess (Jessica)
Stephanie (Stevie)
Naomi

Boys
Casper - I like it, it’s suddenly getting mentioned on here quite a bit. Jasper is also nice
Sebastian - not keen
Barnaby/ Barney - has the cute factor but I associate it too much with a dog’s name
Gabriel - not keen
August - really love it
Theodore - the whole Teddy/Theo thing is very popular now although I do like Theo

Girls
Matilda - yip, would be cute
Margot/ Margaux - I’d spell it Margot but it has taken a massive jump in popularity in the last few months even, if that’s a problem for you then maybe avoid it but I do like the name
Ida - yeah cute
Harriet/ Hattie - like both, Harriet on birth certificate
Olive - this one came up on here recently and I said how nice it is. It’s also different to Olivia which is lovely but very very popular now
Ottilie - not keen
Felicity - not keen

Love Casper and Matilda.

however thing Sebastian/ Theodore and ottilie go best.

Nix Theodore it's so boring now
Love Max and Seb together
I think August is going to be big in boys names, get in there now ahead of the trend!

For girls I love Harriet, Felicity, Oliver
Would avoid the M names as you have a Max
Ottilie is just too Zoella

Boys
Casper - dislike
Sebastian - dislike
Barnaby/ Barney - favourite
Gabriel - OK
August - really dislike
Theodore - OK

Girls
Matilda - OK, not keen paired with Max
Margot/ Margaux - dislike, so many Margots!
Ida - OK, think it’s too short with Maximilian
Harriet/ Hattie - favourite
Olive - like
Ottilie - really dislike, too fussy and too 2022

All are fantastic.
I love Max with Barney, Matilda, Felicity, Harriet and Ida.

Ideas ..
Augustus
Angus
Wilbur
Philomena
Edwina

Sebastian and Olive are my favourites!

I like your list and, as a PP said, I also like Gilbert/Gil.
Not so keen on Barnaby/Barney or Casper. I also like Jesper, which we saw in a film. But that might just condemn them to a life of constantly being called Jasper and having to correct people.
My MIL is called Felicity and goes by Felix, which I like.

Casper - nice
Sebastian - ok
Barnaby/ Barney - no
Gabriel - lovely
August - ok
Theodore - I’m not 100% on this - ok

Matilda - the name we had for our son - ok
Margot/ Margaux - no
Ida - no
Harriet/ Hattie - ok
Olive - no
Ottilie - no
Felicity - no

What about Marianne?
