Hiya

We have got a list of 5 boy's names and 6 girl's names. We would love to get some anonymous opinions on these names. Which do you like best and which do you hate.

Girls:
Olive
Constance (Connie)
Maude
Ellen (Nell)
Jennifer (Jen)
Jemima

Boys:
Reuben
Ivor
Solomon
Albert
Henry

I like Ellen and Reuben. Actually these are two of the names we are thinking of at the moment. Tiny is due to appear in September.
Don't worry to much about what others think.

Olive

Jemima

Boys:

I like all the girls names, especially Ellen.

The only boys name I like out of those is Henry and maybe Solomon

i have a Reuben and we call him roo or roobs old fashioned girls names seem to be making a comeback my friend has an Ada, I have run out of names fo this pregnancy so i am looking for ideas

Olive - 5/10
Constance (Connie) - 10/10 (6/10)
Maude - 8/10
Ellen (Nell) - 6/10 (3/10)
Jennifer (Jen) - 0/10 (did you know this was the most popular girls name in the US for about 20 years running in the 70s and 80s?)
Jemima - 10/10

Reuben - 9/10
Ivor - 6/10
Solomon - 2/10
Albert - 0/10
Henry - 9/10

Like

Connie, Jemima, Ellen.

The rest, no....Maude...What.

Like, Ruben, soloman, henry.

Ivor the engine .....No

Albert is my Grandads name and he is a evil git.

Girls: I like Constance (on my list but not DH's - luckily as there were two at DD's nursery (bt it's fairly unusual still).
Also Maude.

Boys: like Henry and Albert esp Albert (shortening didn't work with our surname or would've been on my list).

I like Jemima, because we used to have a hamster called Jemima, although that may not be a selling point. We used to call her mimi and jemmy for short.
Also like Solomon, followed by Reuben. Sol seems to be popular on other names threads, although I can't quite get my head round a little boy called Sol - seems a bit grown-up. Would have to be Solomon or Solly?

I think they're all lovely, especially like Jemima and Connie. Henry's nice but there's lots of Henry's around so I guess it depends how unusual you want your name to be?

Out of interest, why do people think Ivor is bad name because of Ivor the Engine? Surely no different from boys called Thomas getting 'Thomas the Tank Engine' and isn't Thomas one of the most popular boys names of the last few years? Or am I missing a different meaning about it?

Girl: Jennifer, but prefer Jenny. Also like Nell, but not Ellen.

Boy: I love Henry

Jennifer

Solomon

Not sure if someone has already said this but, I wouldn't recommend Jemima if you are thinking about moving to the US. It's a type of fake maple syrup.

Ummm, Jemima's the only one i like

Jemima and Henry for me.

Good list! My favourites are Ellen (which is what my dd2 is called) and Reuben (which is what she'd have been if she was a boy). You have impeccable taste .

Jennifer and Constance

Reuben and Solomon (I know two brothers called R and S - lovely names).
