I love your girls list. My favourites are Cecily and Rosalie.

Not so keen on your boys list. Edward is the only one I really like. I also like Max but would use that as his full name - not keen on Maximilian.

Mackeroo · 21/11/2023 17:31

Like all the boys names, except Percy, Cedric and Roland. Would probably choose Edmund or Magnus

All the girls names are lovely (like Rosamund out of the Rosas). I'd choose Cecily or Felicity.

SheTookChances · 21/11/2023 17:39

I like Edward, Charlotte and Matilda.

I think Percy, Cedric and Roland are particularly terrible. 😬

Hibernatalie · 21/11/2023 17:40

Edward and Matilda are the ones that stand out to me as being lovely. Not as keen on the rest.

Hibernatalie · 21/11/2023 17:41

Actually I like Charlotte too

LlynTegid · 21/11/2023 17:41

Charlotte is the only one I'd consider.

WeeSleekitCowrinTimrousBeastie · 21/11/2023 17:43

I love Edward, Charlotte and Rosalie.

The rest of your names are too frilly for me.

MerryChristmasToYou · 21/11/2023 17:44

Magnus - like
August - don't like, but like Augustus (Gus), Angus is better.
Maximilian - like
Roland - ok. Will be Roly
Frederick - ok
Percy - not keen
Cedric - don't like
Edmund/Edward - like but Teddy too popular

Cecily - ok-ish
Cordelia - but long. Delia is nice
Charlotte - like. Not keen on Charlie for a girl or Lottie
Romilly - don't like
Felicity - too long. Fliss is ok
Matilda - overused
Rosamund - ok but prefer Rosalind. Like Ros. I don't like Rosalie/Rosabel/Rosalyn/Rosina

MaloneMeadow · 21/11/2023 17:45

Magnus - nice + quite unusual

August - like but very trendy and think it will soon be dated
Maximilian - not a fan at all but like Max
Roland - Makes me think of Roland Rat, awful
Frederick - alright

Percy - Percy Pig connotations!!! Just no
Cedric - too old man
Edmund/Edward - Edward is nice, Edmund too old man as above

girls
Cecily - Love it
Cordelia - too wet and frilly
Charlotte - Really like, especially Lottie as a nickname
Romilly - same as Cordelia, also far too trendy at the minute
Felicity - Very pretty
Matilda - Not a fan of Matilda but Tilly is lovely
Rosalie/Rosamund/Rosabel/Rosalyn/Rosina - awful granny names except for Rosalie and Rosabel

tokesqueen · 21/11/2023 17:48

I like Edward and Charlotte. None of the others.
But I do like Rosa (similar to some of your girls' names).

mathanxiety · 21/11/2023 17:50

I'd avoid Percy but everything else is very acceptable. Cedric is very sweet but the rest all have a lot going for them.

Of the Rose names, I like Rosina best. It might be my favourite from your entire girl name list, actually.

I'm not keen on Romilly.

Whiskeypowers · 21/11/2023 17:52

Magnus and Rosamund but prefer Rosalind

Thewildthingsarewithme · 21/11/2023 18:03

I have used one of your boys names and will use one of your girls if the baby I’m currently carrying is a girl! I think they are all lovely!

lavenderjump · 21/11/2023 18:19

I like Frederick, Edmund, Edward, Rosalie and Rosalyn

CurlewKate · 21/11/2023 18:54

Charlotte or Cecily. Edward or Edmund.

OopsieeDaisy · 21/11/2023 21:31

I like Rosalie and Charlotte, and Edward is my favourite from your boys list.

Mumofgirls2017 · 21/11/2023 21:32

Romilly, Rosalie or matilda

magnus, august, Frederick, Cedric or edward

Aquamarine1029 · 21/11/2023 21:34

Such a lovely list of names... EXCEPT for Percy. I absolutely hate it. It's a weak, sniveling thing of a name. IMO, of course.

theduchessofspork · 21/11/2023 21:54

Magnus and Cordelia

Boys:
Magnus - nice
August - having a moment, Augustus will date less
Maximilian - great but many many Maxs
Roland - ok I guess
Frederick - done to death
Percy - don’t be daft
Cedric - that’s pretty wacky too
Edmund/Edward - overdone but solid

girls
Cecily - like it
Cordelia - love it
Charlotte - done to death
Romilly - will date. Not great
Felicity - nice. Having a moment
Matilda - has been overdone
Rosalie/Rosamund/Rosabel/Rosalyn/Rosina - obviously can pick only one

Rosalyn and Rosamund are nice, as are Rosanna and Rosalind, the other ones are too fussy and make me think of lap dogs.. there are also a lot of Rosies about

Theoldwoman · 21/11/2023 21:58

Frederick and Charlotte are my favourites,

suggestions:

Francis
Wyndham
Ernest

Frances
Freda
Ada

pastaisgod · 21/11/2023 21:59

Magnus and Rosalie and nothing else.

Firebird83 · 21/11/2023 22:01

I like Magnus, August, Maximilian, Edmund, Cecily, Cordelia, Matilda, Rosamund, Rosabel and Rosina.
