Pippa - nice
Hesper - never heard of this name
Elin - ok
Emily - lovely
Heidi - nice
Beatrix - prefer Beatrice, which is lovely
Nancy - ok
Kitty - nice
Matilda - nice but getting v popular

Frank - nice
Henry - nice
Adam - not keen
Benjamin - lovely
Yannick - ok
Ivo - nice
Joshua - ok
Frederick - nice but getting v popular
Thomas - lovely, don't care if it is popular!

Strange list. Unusual mix of extremely popular and the slightly bizarre. Sort of no inbetween choices...

I only really like Frederick. Some of the others really make me cringe (you wanted honest, right?)

LOVE Frank, this would have been my choice for a son (had a dd and dh would have vetoed anyway!). Also love Nancy.

You wouldn't use Pippa in Scandi, I remember my Swedish friend telling me it was either used for sex, bum or boob, something like that ( my cat was called Pippa, that was how we got on the subject)

Beatrix and Ivo are my fave form your list

I would have used Beatrix with last dd but ds's name is too similar.

Pippa - no
Hesper - fuck no
Elin - fuckinhell no
Emily - yes
Heidi - no
Beatrix - no
Nancy - fuck yes
Kitty -no
Matilda - meh

Frank - hell yes
Henry - no
Adam - no
B enjamin - yes
Yannick - if this is a cultural family thing then meh - if not then fuck no
Ivo - as above
Joshua - fuck no
Frederick - fuck yes
Thomas - yes

I like Benjamin and Heidi best.
