going round in circles here and would really appreciate your opinions on:

Girls: Esme or Sorrell
Boys: Floyd, Henry or Max

I like more unusual names but don't want to get the poor kid bullied at school!!!

Thankyou

Esme's OK but I'm not hugely keen on it. I don't like Sorrell.
Max or Henry are OK, not keen on Floyd.

Floyd is silly. Henry and Max too common.
Used to know a real drip called Esme. Sorrell is quite sweet in a self conscious English sort of way.

I like all those names except Floyd. Although unusual, these names strike me as traditional.

Esme is Ok, Henry is alright but Max incredibly popular. Sorrell just sounds a bit odd. ikwym though, about trying for something a bit different. do you like Nancy, Naomi or Miriam? what about George or Louis for a boy?

However he got the p*ss taken out of him at secondary school when he first went there (long time ago though).

max - a name for people who can't be bothered to think of a proper name
henry - fine.
floyd - noooooooo
esme - fine
sorrel - if you are going to name her after a fairly OK but not exciting herb, then spell it right!


sorry, in a pissing bad mood this evening

Thanks
