Love Thea, William and george

Berlinlover · 13/08/2024 00:31

I love them all, great name choices OP.

Theoldwoman · 13/08/2024 00:39

Alice is my top girls name right now. Freya is also a favourite.

I love all your boys names, Samuel slightly more.

Least favourite girls is Sadie.

Nothing from boys list. I love them all.

Faves ..
Alice
Freya
George

I don't mind Sanuel, Theo and Thea.
I dislike Sadie.

Do you like Sarah?

Lurkingandlearning · 13/08/2024 12:05

Favourites Freya and Theo

Least Alice and William

MirandaBlu · 13/08/2024 12:13

Faves - Thea/Freya - although these are both a little too popular for me - I might worry that they will eventually be associated with a particular time period when they were very popular. Alice, although I like it a bit less, seems most classic. Samuel's definitely my top choice for a boy.

Least fave - Sadie and Theo, although I wouldn't mind them as diminutives of more trad names.

sel2223 · 14/08/2024 10:06

Love all your names

If pushed for favourites I'd probably go Sadie and Samuel but I don't dislike any

KimKardashiansLostEarring · 14/08/2024 10:08

Alice - least fave
Thea - like but a bit nothingy sound-wise
Sadie - LOVE but can’t get over the ‘sad’
Freya - perfect!

Samuel (Sam) - least fave
William (Will) - fave I think
George - very close second fave
Theo - like but they are absolutely everywhere which defeats the point of a name IMO

Kiztittumne · 14/08/2024 10:12

Alice and William ❤️

Freya and Samuel 🙀

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 14/08/2024 22:56

William and Alice are very timeless names and my favourites.

Least faves are George and Sadie - I find the sound of George slightly stodgy (Georgy Porgy) and Sadie a bit trendy/too nickname (it was originally a nn for classic Sarah, just like Sally).

BehindTheSequinsandStilettos · 14/08/2024 23:23

Fav - Sadie
Least fav - Alice

but not a lot in it

Fav - Theo
Least fav - George

but not a lot in it

All the names are decent OP

TeamPolin · 14/08/2024 23:27

Favourite: Alice and Samuel.

Least favourite: Thea (I knew one at school and she was a bully - it's ruined the name for me. Also George - just sounds stodgy and blurgh...

BehindTheSequinsandStilettos · 14/08/2024 23:38

Alice from nobility
Thea Goddess
Sadie Princess
Freya noble lady

Samuel (Sam) name of God
William (Will) protection
George farmer
Theo God's gift

Obviously you cannot have a Thea and a Theo if you ever have a DC2 of opposite sex/Freya and Thea are also samey

Middle names?

Sadie Thea and Samuel William (Sadie and Sam)
Theo George and Freya Alice (Theo and Freya)
(Sadie and Freya/Theo and Sam)

Finally look at both initials with your surname
Good luck! Shamrock

BehindTheSequinsandStilettos · 14/08/2024 23:42

Connotations:
Alice in Wonderland (author was dodgy)
Sexy Sadie Beatles song (also Sarah had that in the Accused)
Freya - Norse
Sad Sam
Prince William/George Crown
Theo/Sadie are dimunitives

NewName24 · 14/08/2024 23:44

  1. Thea (as long as you aren't in a part of the country where they say "Th" as "F" in which case, it drops to 4.
  2. Sadie
  3. Alice
  4. Freya (no real reason I can explain, I just really don't like this name)
  1. Samuel (Sam)
  2. George
  3. Theo (dore?)
  4. William

Am wondering how you are keeping track of replies Grin

Daffyyellow · 14/08/2024 23:47

BehindTheSequinsandStilettos · 15/08/2024 02:17

I've tallied for you! insomnia
Alice and Sam are the most popular so far.

RogueFemale · 15/08/2024 02:20

Like Alice, William and George. Dislike the rest.

BoleynMemories13 · 15/08/2024 08:46

Favourites are Alice and George but the only one I'm not so keen on is Thea (too many people pronounce it like 'fear').

deliwoman1 · 21/08/2024 16:05

Faves: Samuel (wouldn't shorten to Sam) and Thea (though I'd go for Theadora on the birth certificate)

Least fave: Alice (nice but boring) and Theo (too popular for a boy for my liking!) Also not keen on William. There are so many in the world! Same for George ofc but somehow it's a bit cooler, at least.
