I love Beatrice and Martha.

my SIL has just named her baby Phoebe - i think it is avery 'in' name at the mo!

For boys, I like all the names apart from Seth.

Tilly, Scarlett and Daisy/Rufus.

Love stella, phoebe and alexander

Girls

Florence-yes, love it
Daisy-yes love it

Martha-like it but not with matilda
Phoebe-love it
Heidi-like it

Boys

Fergus-not really
Fraser-Yes love it
Alexander-No
Seth-LOVE LOVE LOVE it
Finlay-love it
Rufus-No

Florence - not for me and it doesn't really fit with the other girls names imo.
Daisy - I like it and I think it goes well with Tilly and Scarlett.
Stella - nice but sounds a bit too much like Tilly and Scarlett iyswim, a bit like you merged them together
Beatrice - nice but not convinced it goes withTilly and Scarlett (don't know f this matters to you btw but it would to me).
Martha - Great, good name that goes with the others.
Phoebe - Great, again good name that goes with the others.
Heidi - I can't get past the fact that Kerry Katona has a child with this name. Sorry.

I like all of your oys name choices and think that they all would go with their sibs names.

Lovely names for your dds.

I like Florence, Daisy, Beatrice and Martha from your girls' list.
I don't like Heidi and really dislike Stella.

I don't much like any of the boys' names, sorry but if I had to pick one it would be Alexander. Seth and Fraser are particularly bad imho.

Like: Florence, Stella, Beatrice, Seth, Rufus.

Don't like: Heidi, Fergus, Fraser.

Neutral on the rest.

Thanks for the comments so far.

I do like Daisy but worry it would be more suited to a delicate flower like girl (dd was a 10lber and 98th centile so has never really been delicate )

I like Stella but not sure I can get past the Artois connotations

The KK issue with Heidi is acknowledged and noted

We are not Scottish but our surname is...

Keep 'em coming. Thanks

Stella, Martha, Seth are really great.

I'm no good to you. I like them all .
Favourites are Martha and Rufus.

Florence and Alexander

Stella
Beatrice
Phoebe
Heidi

Fergus
Fraser
Alexander
Finlay

Ha! Hadn't considered the Artois vibe. Have noticed a lot of flower names for baby girls of late so another pick may work better anyhoo

congratulations btw tsm, great news.

i think your girls name list needs more work though. what else you got?

Florence - nice name, like it.
Daisy - no, unless you are having a cow.
Stella - beer. No.
Beatrice - royal family. No.
Martha - my middle name. It is ok.
Phoebe - nice name.
Heidi - yes, I like it.

Fergus - no no no
Fraser - it's ok.
Alexander - yes, that's nice
Seth - no, I wouldn't use it.
Finlay - the fire engine...
Rufus - are you having a dog?

Thanks DB Don't know - help me out. I quite like Claudia ? Sophia ? but its definitely girls names we're struggling with

oh dear, we have different taste i'm afraid.
i'm not into names that end with -a, -ie, -y.
they don't sound strong enough to me.

I can't say Seth without a bit of a lisp! Like Finlay. Like Florence Martha and daisy. Stella nice but doesn't go with the dc so nicely.

ah - most of my favourites end in -ie or -y but I want to try and avoid them because I think they sound a bit twee with Tilly

Hey ho - maybe it will be a boy and we can call it Lance, Cavendish or Cadel and be done with it

now we're talking, cadel is fab.
