HelpRe: 4 Questions
in reply to a message by T_E_T
I've loved certain names for a long tine. Sometimes I add a couple of new names to my favourites, but the top 5 or so for each gender is pretty constant.
I would use my favourite names. I don't tend to like names I find unusable in real life, apart from one or two guilty pleasure names.
For a girl, Eve Hermione. For a boy, George Arthur.
I don't remember when I started liking these names. The reason they are my top 2 is that they are simple and classic, they suit anyone of any age, people can spell them and there aren't a lot of trendy alternative spellings, they go well with our last name, they are clearly feminine and masculine (i.e. There are no male Eves).
The middle names are meaningful as Hermione is a name from the books we both love and Arthur is a family name. George if also a family name, the middle name of my brother, cousin, Grandad and great Grandad.
Other favourites on my list are in my signature below.

Thanks :)
I'd love to use Arthur as a first name but my partner pronounces "th" like "f" so it comes out like Arfur, and that would annoy me too much! We can't use any names with a "th" sound in!
What are your girls called?

Thank you! I'm glad you like them. They were met with mixed reviews, Cecily's name in particular; my mum's initial reaction to Cecily Winifred was: "She sounds about 90!". But she grew to love it!
Well, I sure hope you end up having girls, because those are beautiful names! I seriously considered Eve and Katherine for Cecily, and Nora for Frances! Gorgeous xx
