Thoughts on these names

[MistyHazelFox]

Matilda
Cordelia
Cecily
Romilly

Magnus
Clarence
Emil
Frederick
Gustav

Probably against the grain, but I much prefer your boys’ list to the girls’. Not keen on any of those, although would probably go for Cordelia if I had to pick one.

I think your boys’ list is great - probably because it feels quite ‘European’/cosmopolitan in style and those are the kinds of names I tend to like. Love Magnus and Emil, and Gustav could grow on me (bit more of a statement name than the others I think).

Not a fan of Clarence, but I do quite like Clement, which to me has a similar feel. Frederick is OK but obviously not as distinctive as the others.

Loving

Cecily & Romily

Magnus & Frederick

Love Gus but for August/ Augustus rather than Gustav.

Matilda is over done, over used I don’t like Tilly. Cordelia is the best out of those.

I don’t really like any of the boys’ names.

I dont like any of the names sorry, especially the boys’ names. Matilda is ok.

I love Matilda and like Romilly. Not keen on the boy list tbh, Magnus probably the best of the bunch for me.

Matilda is over used
I like Cecily
I love Romilly, it was on our name list but I've only seen it spelt Romily

Like the options for nicknames with Cordelia.

Matilda - nice, fairly well used, I don't like Matty for short though, which I'd worry about

Cordelia - eww, yuk, very old fashioned, Uber posh

Cecily - Nope, similar to Cordelia, Cecilia is a lot nicer

Romilly - still 'old/vintage posh' but I've always had a soft spot for this name ☺️

Magnus - Naff
Clarence - The angel from It's a Wonderful Life "Attaboy, Clarence!" Very old fashioned, rather posh

Emil - ewww
Frederick - I like Fred
Gustav - weird unless you have Scandinavian connections.

If you're going for circa 1920's posh, I think you've nailed it, but they are not my cup of tea.

Good luck!

Romilly and Magnus

I like Frederick (Fred), Magnus and Romilly (Milly/Romy)

Not mad on the others sadly. They're OK though.

I also like Azelie, Ramona, Rowan, Lark, Max, Alexis, Alexander, Samuel, Ivan and Leni (or Lennie for a boy)...(Not sure if those are similar ball park or not, lol?)

Absolutely love Romilly (definitely this spelling) and love Emil.
