Ned Walter
Ollie George – brother for Ellie and Alfie
Thomas Jack – brother for Sophie
Anabelle Peggy
Autumn Vespa
Megan – sister for Corey and Logan
Molly Rose
Peggy – sister for Nancy
Sylvia-Skye
Zara NancyI like the sibset of Nancy and Peggy because there are sisters with these names in my favourite childhood book series Swallows & Amazons. Interesting that two babies have these as middle names too.

I love Ned Walter, although I kind of wish it was Edward nn Ned.It's interesting to see Nancy a few times. Is it very dated in England too? Every Nancy I've know has been over 55, except for one.

I tend to think of Nancy as a Victorian / early 20th century name. However, like a lot of old-fashioned names it's back on the increase. I just checked and it's currently ranked at 111 so just outside the top 100. I'm in the minority here that I prefer Ned to Edward!

I've got nothing against Ned, in fact I prefer it :) It just feels incomplete to me to not have the full name Edward as the formal name, even if they went by Ned 99% of the time.

Alexander George - Nice and classic
Ned Walter - Dated, and I don't see how people can like Ned. All I can think of is Simpsons
Ollie George – brother for Ellie and Alfie - What?? Ellie and Ollie? I like Ellie and Alfie, but not Ollie. Oliver would have been better
Thomas Jack – brother for Sophie - Nice names, but a bit boring
Anabelle Peggy - Hate it
Autumn Vespa - Hate it
Megan – sister for Corey and Logan - Hate it
Molly Rose - Nice, but a bit meh.
Peggy – sister for Nancy - Refreshing, but not something I'd choose
Sylvia-Skye - As a double? Horrible. Just Sylvia, or just Skye, would have been okay
Zara Nancy - Ugh.

Alexander George - boring, but nice
Ned Walter - nicknamey, but in a good way
Ollie George – brother for Ellie and Alfie - nicknamey in a no good very bad horrible terrible way
Thomas Jack – brother for Sophie - *dozes off*Anabelle Peggy - Annabel Peggy isn't so bad, but this spelling makes me think of anabl - Welsh for 'disabled'
Autumn Vespa - LOL, and her sister Winter Lambretta. & if I could think of any other makes of scooter we could have a whole bike stand
Megan – sister for Corey and Logan - sounds more like a US set than a British one
Molly Rose - Up Into The Air Like A Baby-Shaped Balloon And Floated Gently Away
Peggy – sister for Nancy - was wondering why these sounded familiar as a set!
Sylvia-Skye - oh dear
Zara Nancy - not wild about Zara, but the flow is good

Winter Lambretta made me lol!I just looked at Wikipedia at scooter manufacturers and there are some other good contenders. I'm liking the look of Aprilia. Might steer away from Kawasaki or Yamaha though.

I instantly thought of the Amazons too! Dorothea is lovely as well, and I've got no quarrel with Susan ... but Titty was surely a bit misguided even in the 1930s.

Apparently in the BBC adaptation they renamed her Kitty. Now why didn't he do that! :)

Ned Walter is cute, in a rumpled way.Ellie, Alfie, and Ollie make such an obnoxious sibset!! Wow England take it easy with the soundalike nicknames.Vespa as a girl's middle name is cracking me up.I like Zara Nancy too.

I like Thomas Jack and Megan. Autumn Vespa is ridiculous, and Sylvia-Skye is bleh. I really, really dislike hyphenated names.

Alexander George - sounds very royal
Ned Walter - awful
Ollie George – prefer Oliver. I think Ellie and Ollie will cause some confusion. Way too similar
Thomas Jack – ok
Anabelle Peggy - I like Annabel (spelled this way). Peggy is a nickname; would prefer Annabelle Margaret
Autumn Vespa - Autumn is pretty..Vespa scooter? No.
Megan – my sister's name so I think it's nice. Logan and Megan sound a bit too similar for siblings
Molly Rose - love Molly
Peggy – again, prefer Margaret, and nn Maggie better
Sylvia-Skye - don't like either name, especially not hyphenated
Zara Nancy - Zara is ok, but it doesn't go with Nancy
