Not particularly keen on any of your girls choices tbh if a bit harsh.

Edward, ds's middle name, I really like it but def on the up in terms of popularity.
George, dp loved it but I just thought of Peppa. Will have it on reserve in case I ever persuade him to go for dc3!
Liam, ok.
Reuben, too trendy/of the moment imo.
Raphael, no.
Winston, I love this but it would have been ridiculous withour surname (dp described it as a win-win situation iyswim).

janeite, I didn't think anyone else on here was old enough for Stanley Holloway references...

I love Raphael

janeiteisFedUp · 22/03/2010 21:48

I don't know who Stanley Holloway is...

Edward is nice, my ds3/dt2 has it as a middle name.

George is a great name (is ds2's), I still really am glad we chose it.

Like all your girls names bar Rosemary but I would agree with others re: Pippa. Needs to be a NN for Philippa as a full name (which is a great name also but then I am biased!).

Florence & Albert are my favourites from your list

Edward and George-don't like the rest of the boys choice.
I like all the girls except Pippa.

MarianneD · 23/03/2010 15:52

Florence or Reuben, would avoid Olivia - likely to be half a dozen others in her class!

notsoteenagemum · 23/03/2010 16:03

Girls:

Olivia- nice and love nn Liv, but very popular.
Florence- really like but also becoming popular because of Florence and the Machine.
Pippa- I love Pippa think it's really pretty. Not Philippa though don't like the mans name with an extea bit to make it a womans name thing.
Rosemary- I like it but prefer Rose.
Charlotte- I like it but not sure about nn Lottie.

Boys:

Edward- Not keen to stiff upper lip for me.
George- Love George.
Liam- I love Liam and wanted it for Dd if she was aboy but dh said no because he knew I fancied Liam Gallagher
Reuben- No way I don't like this at all.
Raphael- The connection with TMNT will always be too strong for me.
Winston- Like this but think that it will be popular after Billie Pipers son.
Albert- Like this and Albie an a nn.

thecoffeelady · 23/03/2010 16:09
