[clpsmum]

Ok i already have two boys one of their names is a surname style name and the other is an old testament name not used very often where we live. Here is our shortlist for DC3 please can i have your opinions.

Girls - Middle name Patricia
Alice
Matilda
Tabitha
Francesca
Gabriella
Lola

Boys - Middle name Peter
Lennon (love it but is it too chav???)
Levi
Mitchell
Leon
Grady

Alice - like
Matilda - not keen
Tabitha - not keen, a cat's name
Francesca - like
Gabriella - like
Lola - no

Lennon - not sure
Levi - like
Mitchell - don't like surnames as first names
Leon - OK, prefer Leo
Grady - again, not keen on surnames as first names

I think Alice Patricia would "flow" the best out of your girls' choices.

I'd go for Levi Peter from your boys' names.

Are you Italian? If not, no to Francesca.

Actually, two names ending in -a sound a bit much next to each other imo.

Are you Jewish? If not, no to Levi.

And Levi Peter sounds a bit neurotic, with one name markedly Jewish and the other markedly Christian.

I think there are some names that sound a bit weird/you'd be forever explaining if you weren't Italian, I don't think Francesca is one of them. It's widely used and I don't thikn many people would think you had/should have Italian connections to use it.

I'd agree with CoteDAzur about two names ending in 'a' though.

Alice and Leon. Lovely.

Not really fussed on any of the others, although I think Frances is great (and less fussy than Francesca). As is Francis for a boy.

If you like Patricia as middle name for a girl, do you like Patrick as a first name for a boy? Or if you like Gabriella for a girl, would you consider Gabriel for a boy? Agree with pavlovalover that Frances and Francis are nice too.

Alice - ok
Matilda - not keen
Tabitha - not keen
Francesca - like
Gabriella - love
Lola - not keen

Lennon - not keen on the term 'chav', but think you're right
Levi - love
Mitchell - not keen, I think of Grant or Phil.
Leon - like
Grady - not keen

Alice- Pretty
Matilda- Not with Patricia
Tabitha- See above
Francesca- I like
Gabriella- Not with Patricia
Lola- Makes me think of Lolita.

Patricia is a great name- would you consider using it as a first name? Patricia Alice, perhaps?

Lennon (love it but is it too chav???)
Levi- I'm afriad it is imo...
Mitchell- Is a surname
Leon- Great, prefer Len
Grady- Not keen.

Again, I think Peter is nicer than any of those- It's so good and solid- Peter Leon?

Francesca and Lennon would be my faves of your list.

Alice - My favourite from your list, and it goes best with Patricia.
Matilda - lovely
Tabitha - ok
Francesca - lovely
Gabriella - lovely
Lola - no

Sorry, not keen on any of your boys names. If I had to choose, Mitchell. I like the other suggestions of Francis, Peter or Patrick as a first name for a boy.

Girls - Middle name Patricia
Alice not keen on
Matilda like it but used too much
Tabitha reminds me of a cat
Francesca yes. love it.
Gabriella my fave.
Lola nope.

Boys - Middle name Peter
Lennon (love it but is it too chav???) I likey.
Levi Nope.
Mitchell Not sure
Leon Yes like it
Grady Def not

Alice- quite plain, bit old lady
Matilda-a bit trendy but like
Tabitha-ok
Francesca-best, although I hate when it gets shortened to frankie
Gabriella-nice
Lola-slightly slutty, very trendy

I dont think any name ending in 'a' will go with patricia

Boys - Middle name Peter
Lennon (love it but is it too chav???)-maybe
Levi- more chav then lennon
Mitchell-really like
Leon-ok
Grady- will get missheard as brady, could get 'grade a' jokes

Girls
Alice - Okay, bit boring and makes me think of someone a bit thick.
Matilda - Okay, but quite popular at the mo.
Tabitha - Cat's name.
Francesca - Love, but not keen on shortenings.
Gabriella - Like
Lola - Really dislike, has too much of a tarty feel for me.

Boys - Middle name Peter

Not keen on your boys names I'm afraid, but I always was rubbish at boy's names!

Alice - Like, Classic 'old' name
Matilda - Dislike
Tabitha - No way
Francesca - Like, But do you like the sorter versions? Fran, Frank, Frankie?
Gabriella - Very Pretty but don't like Gaby.
Lola - Like - but it's my cats name ( sorry!)

Boys - Middle name Peter
Lennon - Like
Levi - Very chavy
Mitchell - Like
Leon - Like
Grady - Dislike

like alice best from the girls list. don't like lennon sorry, it sounds too much like lemon and he would spend his life correcting people!

Quite like Francesca, but love Gabriella. Not sure about it with the middle name of Patricia though, not sure about two 'a' letters at the ends. How about Gabriel Patricia or Gabriella Patrice?

Love Levi Peter, think it goes very well.

Congratulations.

Looked up names and prefer this spelling ... Gabrielle.

Gabriel, is a variant of Gabrielle (Hebrew), and the meaning of Gabriel is "heroine of God".

Definitely my favourite of the girls' names

Love Tabitha and Lola from your list - but Lola is becoming very popular.

don't like any of the boy's names though - and that would be a 'yes' to your question about Lennon
