Only like Phoebe from your girls list. Like all your boys names apart from Liam.

Heifer · 06/08/2008 16:46

I like

Abby
Samuel and Charlie

but with Abbigail and Charles on the birth cert so they can chose later to change to full name if they wish to.

MaryMungo · 06/08/2008 16:47

I always wanted an Elisabeth Rose, but none of my girls ended up looking like one....

theowlwhowasafraidofthedark · 06/08/2008 16:47

I love Cally

princessglitter · 06/08/2008 16:51

Lydia is gorgeous. I have one.

elijahblue · 06/08/2008 18:48

Isabel Rose or Samuel William - without a doubt!

Hulababy · 06/08/2008 21:45

Abby - prefer full name and then shortened
Amy - nice; like Aimee spelling too
Caitlyn - not keen
Lydia - ok
Cally - don;t like; is is short for Caroline or Carolyn perhaps?
Phoebe - pretty name

Ryan - don't like
Samuel - nice
Liam - don;t like
Charlie - lovely; but prefer Charles as full name
Freddy - lovely; would name Fred though. Ought to be Alfred or Frederick really though

Hulababy · 06/08/2008 21:46

I like Isabel too, but not keen on Evan.

SoMuchToBits · 06/08/2008 21:53

I love Isabel, and like Lydia. Would not go for Caitlyn as it is a mis-spelling of Caitlin, which is Irish and should be pronounced Cat-LEEN (Irish form of Kathleen).

Boys I like Samuel, or Freddy/Fred if short for Frederick/Alfred.

Izzybel · 06/08/2008 21:54

I have an Isabel, so I think Isabel is lovely .

I don't think that you should have Liam if you were going to have William as a middle name as Liam is a short form of William and he would be Liam William, lol. Although Liam is a nice name!

clairebear88 · 15/08/2008 10:31

I have to say after reading some of the threads on here im surprised anyone names there dc something unusual. Im very glad i have pretty normal taste in names

J'adore Valentina Rose

Nancy66 · 11/11/2008 16:02

Abby - ok when short for Abigail
Amy - bit ordinary
Caitlyn - not keen
Lydia - lovely
Cally - doesn't feel like a proper name to me
Phoebe - really like this one too.

Ryan - makes me think of a football hooligan
Samuel - ok
Liam - nope, bit common (in a chav way)
Charlie - like it but popular
Freddy - great name.

MrsBadger · 11/11/2008 16:06

Lydia, Phoebe and Samuel I like; Ryan or Liam I suppose could live with but are a bit common modern for my taste

The rest are either misspelt (Caitlyn) or nicknames (Abby, Cally, Charlie, Freddy), and Amy I just find a bit... weedy

TheNewsMonger · 11/11/2008 16:07

Abby - ok prefer LIbby
Amy - ok but dull
Caitlyn - no.
Lydia - yes, lovely.
Cally - no.
Phoebe - yes, beautiful.

Ryan - no.
Samuel - yes, popular but lovely.
Liam - like this
Charlie - like this
Freddy - love this.

I would go for Lydia Phoebe or Phoebe Lydia
and for a boy Frederick Liam /Freddy.

TheNewsMonger · 11/11/2008 16:09

Agree, you can't have Liam WIlliam!
Definitely considered the same name in Ireland.

babysoon1 · 11/11/2008 16:16

Phoebe - lovely, but different.
Samuel and Charles - but why not just christen them Sam or Charlie - as that's what they will end up getting called.

Simplysally · 11/11/2008 16:27

I'm glad my dd's name is approved of - Phoebe . One of her middle names is Rose too.

Other than that, I'd plump for Caitlyn (this was also on my shortlist) and Lydia is a new fave of mine if I ever have a second dd.

mumof2andabit · 11/11/2008 20:28

Abbie Rose

LaDiDaDi · 11/11/2008 20:36

Caitlyn..ok
Lydia...I like this
Cally..?Is this short for Callista?

Phoebe - nice; getting very popular much to my friend's upset
