Beatrice and Sebastian are my favourites. Little Bea and Seb.

MKWarrier · 02/03/2024 22:30

I like Patrick best of your boy list. I like Alexander but not crazy about Alex so would probably use it as a middle name. Patrick Alexander??

From you girl list I like Isabel and Lara (both on my list!) and Charlotte, but not Lottie.

Patrick and Lara is a nice combo I think.

I think you could pair Jago with any of the girls names. Harper I don’t like.

1, 2 and 5 of girls names I like and all but the last 2 of the boys names.

Nice list

Harper/Isobel/Charlotte
and
Henry/Sebastian (ien is French)/Reuben

I wouldn't use Sasha for a girl because in russian it is a male (nick)name.

Agree with PP that Harper and Jago are not as nice.

My favourites are Lara and Patrick!

Sasha and Henry.

I’d avoid Sasha as it’s a bit unisex for boy/ girl twins imo Harper and Jago are my least favourite by miles. The rest are great.

I like Beatrice and Reuben the best.

FayCarew · 03/03/2024 18:30

Sasha - like
Lara - nothingy
Beatrice - like
Isabel - overused if you combine with Isabelle, Isobel and Isabella
Maeve - don't like
Charlotte/Lottie- like
Amelie - nothingy. Emily is nicer
Harper - awful

Reuben - not keen
Sebastien - not keen
Conor - ok
Patrick - like
Jago - too vogue-ish
Henry - ok
Alexander - ok

Charlotte and Patrick

My 4 month old nephew is called Sacha but it’s my DB’s middle name too and he has a Russian sort of diminutive name too as a first name. We’ve known plenty of girls called Sacha and a Russian NDN is called this whether as a nickname unsure.
