Patience- I do love this... more in theory than practice though, as this is not a virtue that I possess in spades...people who know me would laugh endlessly if I chose to bestow this on a child of mine ;-)
Phoebe- one of my absolute favourites
Millicent- I really do like this. And I love Millie. I just wish it didn't call millipedes (shudder) and 'militant' to mind. Still, I'd be thrilled to meet a little girl named Millicent.
Priya - I went through a long period in my early twenties wherein this was a favourite of mine. It doesn't top my lists these days, and hasn't for years, but I do look upon it with fondness.
Hattie- only as a nickname for Harriet
Morgana- not a fan, personally... it's the "morg"sound...the hard 'g' that distinguishes it from the 'org' in George names that seems harsh and is just unpleasant to my ears.
Georgiana- pretty, but I do prefer Georgina and Georgia
Prudence- I like the meaning...but can't get past "prude". Too burdensome for any girl to carry through the awkward teenage years, I think. My friend has a cat named Prudence though, and I love it on her.
BOYS:
Benjamin- this is one of my most favourite "common classic" boy names
Rufus- LOVE this, it's on my own list. It's just so cool.
Ivor- y? Igor? Not my cup of tea.
Willoughby- swoon. I don't know how practical it is though. I always ask myself when I think about naming sons...would a grown man be happy to have this as his name. I'm not sure this passes that litmus test. But it does have the ever handsome Will to fall back on.
