Hello

I love Kitty Ellen or Hermione Ellen for a girl and either Arlo William, Kit William or Monty William for a boy....

I'm ready for feedback, don't be shy!!!

Well I don't find any of them offensive, am sure my dh would have vetoed all of them but if you want them and your dp/h is in agreement then go for it, it is your choice after all

Kit William is already a famous person... so unless you're a particularly big fan of his that's probably a 'no'...

Kitty I'm also not keen on - the 'hello kitty' cartoon character annoys me for some reason. And Hermione is SO Harry Potter....

I know one other recent Arlo but I think Natasha Kaplinsky also called her son Arlo...

I do like Ellen and William though!!!

girls names are nice, i like william but none of the other boys' names. who cares though, pick what you like

Amarilis · 06/06/2010 21:11

Oh I love your honesty you lot!

I know there's a famous Christopher 'Kit' Williams - but he's an ancient artist, so not worried about that.

I am worried about the spelling of Hermione too - no one gets how you say it normally. I guess it is a bit Harry Potter, but I have always loved it!

I love Ted for a boy too?!

I like Arlo and Monty.

I really like Hermione. Kitty is okay for a nn, but needs a more formal name.

LetThereBeRock · 06/06/2010 21:15

I hate Kitty.It makes me think of a stripper.

I don't like Hermione.

I love Kit but I'd have him registered as Christopher so he has the option of using either. Hate Monty.It's horribly wet.

Arlo is just about ok.

I don't like Ted.

Amarilis · 06/06/2010 21:15

Thanks Eglu - that's the prob with Kit (nn for Christopher) and Kitty (nn for Katherine)... But I hate Chrsitopher and Katherine!!!!

I do like William.

oopsandbabycoconut · 06/06/2010 21:16

DD2 was almost Katya (nn Kitty) as DH refused Kitty as a 'real' name.

I like Arlo and Kit.

ticktockclock · 06/06/2010 21:18

I like Arlo and Kit.

dizzydixies · 06/06/2010 21:19

I love them all

lidofabiro · 06/06/2010 21:20

Hermione Ellen (or Ellen Hermione?) for a girl.

Sorry but I don't like Kitty as it is both a nickname and a generic cat's name.

Arlo William (or William Arlo?) for a boy.

Not keen on Kit, again as it's a nickname and cattish.

I do like Ted for a boy, if short for Edward.

suwoo · 06/06/2010 21:20

I love them all! Kitty was my girls name for DC3 who was a boy. Arlo and Monty (and many more) were sadly vetoed. He ended up as Felix.

Amarilis · 06/06/2010 21:21

Oh I don't know... It's such a tough decision naming a child!

I just yawn at all the Milly's, Amelie's, Grace's, Isabella's and Emily's and the Finn's, Jack's Harry's, Ben's and Joshua's - they are do 'done' .. I want something that is different and classy but not weird.. My surname is VERY boring, so I can use a bit of imagination with the first names...

Eglu · 06/06/2010 21:21

I see what you mean. I really don't like Katherine either, but think Kitty is lovely.

Amarilis · 06/06/2010 21:22

Suwoo - I LOVE Felix... I obviously like the cat thing! I also like Tabitha for a while - also feline!

Kitty is fabulous.

Love Kit and like Monty.

DuelingFanjo · 06/06/2010 21:24

I ove Kitty and I love Arlo.

MrsSawdust · 06/06/2010 21:24

I like both girl names, but Hermione has been debased by Harry Potter.

Monty is awful. Prep school nancy boy. Sorry.

Arlo is nice.

Kit is nice but should be a nn really.

suwoo · 06/06/2010 21:58

Amarilis, he was to be Felix Arthur until a friend pointed out that it was two brands of cat food so we went for the boring Oscar as his middle name.

My bloody mum has just called her new cat Kitty so that rules that out for the dreamed of not going to happen DC4.

LuluF · 06/06/2010 22:02

I have a cousin called Kate - nn Kitty. Do you like Kate better than Katherine?
