I love [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] and [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
I love this style too 
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites are [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] and [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] “[name_f]Tabby[/name_f]”, although [name_m]Kep[/name_m] is interesting…
I agree that [name_m]Peter[/name_m] and [name_m]Tom[/name_m] are lovely, underrated classics.
Not such a fan of Hunca Munca 
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_f]Jemima[/name_f], [name_f]Lucie[/name_f] and [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]/[name_f]Tabby[/name_f] are my favourites. [name_f]Ginger[/name_f] has been growing on me and I kinda like [name_m]Kep[/name_m] too!
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite is [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f]! That said, I think [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] is so underused. And though I wouldn’t actually use it, I really like the sound of [name_m]Diggory[/name_m].
[name_u]Love[/name_u] these:heart_eyes: [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] and [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] are my faves. Also love [name_m]Todd[/name_m] even though Mr [name_m]Todd[/name_m] is the bad guy!
And Nutkin is kinda cute too…but maybe only on a squirrel?

I have always loved [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_m]Potter[/name_m]!!! I have her complete collection and read it all the time.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite of her names are:
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_m]Drake[/name_m]
[name_m]Diggory[/name_m] - I also like the [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] reference
[name_f]Ginger[/name_f]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_f]Lucie[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
[name_u]Willie[/name_u] - for a boy or girl
Aaw, yes, how charming these are!
I adore [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]! I almost prefer [name_f]Lucie[/name_f] to [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], but I fear it would be a headache to constantly correct. And, of course, [name_f]Jane[/name_f] is darling, too.
For boys, [name_m]Drake[/name_m], [name_m]Peter[/name_m], and [name_u]Willie[/name_u] are loves of mine.
I love [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_m]Potter[/name_m]!! and you’re right, so many great names!
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], [name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Lucie[/name_f], [name_m]Diggory[/name_m], and [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m].
[name_m]Barnabas[/name_m] is also a great love of mine, though I don’t know if I could ever actually use it. Chippy is cute as I love the name [name_m]Chip[/name_m]! and [name_m]Kep[/name_m] is adorable, reminds me of [name_m]Kip[/name_m] too.
([name_f]Kinda[/name_f] like [name_f]Ginger[/name_f] too, specifically for the nn [name_f]Ginny[/name_f]!)
I love the names [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] used in her stories. [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] and [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] are 2 of my favorite girls’ names, and [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m] is one of my favorite boys’ names.
