HelpRe: England's biggest family just welcomed their 19th child
in reply to a message by Vekalvin
I cannot imagine being pregnant so many times...
Christopher - Name isn't objectionable at all, but I grew up with so many of them (all going by "Chris") that the name is utterly milquetoast now.
Sophie - This is nice. I've always liked both Sophie, since I was a kid - and Sophia, though I'd most likely spell that Sofia. Not sure why I'd want to change the consonants when I add an A, but I do. In any event, though, I wouldn't use the names now because they are just way, way too common. I see little Sophias everywhere now (and Olivias, and Emmas / Emilys...)
Chloe - I like Chloe, but I feel like it's a name you either love or hate. I get why some people think it's a "cheerleader" name, but I can just as easily picture it on a lawyer. I actually prefer it to Zoe.
Jack - It's a mainstay, even though it originated as a nickname... but it makes me think of pirates. Always. It's the black sheep of classic names.
Daniel - Lots of people love this name, and they can go on loving it. But I can't stand Danny. Or Dan, for that matter.
Luke - Good, strong name.
Millie, Katie, Ellie & Tillie - By themselves, I don't like nicknames as full names (then the kid never really has a choice of what they'd like to be called - maybe she would've preferred "Kat" or "Kitty" to Katie)... but to have all of them together in the same sibset is absolutely *ridiculous*! It's displays a clear sign that the family had so many kids that they ran out of names - and if I were one of them, I'd be looking at some of my other siblings wondering why my parents gave them so much better names than they gave me.
James - I like James, I really do. But I'm hesitant to use it because there's a strong likelihood of the nickname Jim or Jimmy, and I can't stand either one.
Aimee - While I like Aimee, there is the instinct to pronounce it the French way: eh-MAY. I'd much more likely spell it Amy, though that does feel dated.
Josh - As a nickname for Joshua, fine. Not as a full name.
Max - As a nickname for Maxwell, fine. Not as a full name.
Oscar - Great name. Only thing stopping me from using it is the strong association with the Academy Awards.
Casper - I like seeing this name out in the wild, separate from the "friendly ghost." I'd be afraid to use this name for real, but I like seeing other people use it. Total GP.
Hallie Alphia Beau - What the HECK?! This is probably the worst of the bunch!
Phoebe Willow - Oh, this one is pretty! Surprised they didn't use this combo sooner...
Alfie - It's sad that he was stillborn, but as queenv said, I don't understand the British (particularly English) fascination with Alfie...
Altogether, a really mixed bag.
