Reply to: This or That toughies: pitting BtN darlings against each other. by Caroline

Elizabeth - for the nicknames alone!
Charlotte - this one was tougher but I like Charlie
Margaret - hate Virginia so that was easy
Seraphine - this one was tougher also. I love Eve but not Evangeline. And I dislike Seraphina but don't mine Seraphine
Susannah - no contest
Helena - gag! hate Adelaide
Rosalie - Oooo this one IS a toughie. Rosalie seems more practical and has been on my mind more lately
Lucy - easy
Annabel - hate Josephine so I guess I have to go Annabel here
Lucinda - dislike Matilda
Lydia - Eleanor is stale!
Genevieve - oh my gosh I would LOVE to see Florence and Genevieve in a sibset!
Sylvie - LOVE

Alasdair - August is becoming sort of hipster trendy I think
William - eh, dislike both but the NN Will is redeeming here.
Silas - I love both pretty equally so NN Sy wins this one
Leo - I have been liking Jack more but I have a cousin by that name
Amos - hmmm, I like these pretty equally too but Cormac reminds me of the spice company, McCormick
Sebastian - I LOVE Theo but not Theodore
Samuel - about equal but I like Sam
James - sounds younger than Charles to me
