Need help sorting through my list

[name]Hi[/name] everyone,
I have a really long list and would love some help sorting through it. I don’t expect anyone to commet on each name individually, theres far too many! (feel free to if you want!!!)
Instead I would love if you could pick out 5-10 names off the list that are your favourite and why. (also feel free to comment on least favourites!) It would be especially great if you could suggest if any sound nice together as siblings.
Your own suggestions are welcome too.
Thankyou for any help you can give :slight_smile:

Favorites:
Boys: [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Felix[/name], [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], [name]Charles[/name], [name]Theo[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Graeme[/name], [name]Noah[/name]
Girls: [name]Ingrid[/name], [name]Iris[/name], [name]Rosalie[/name], [name]Camille[/name], [name]Cordelia[/name], [name]Tess[/name], [name]Rose[/name], [name]Sylvie[/name], [name]Dorothea[/name], [name]Martha[/name], [name]Helena[/name], [name]Cecilia[/name], [name]Cecily[/name], [name]Elodie[/name]

Sibsets:
[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], [name]Noah[/name], [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Martha[/name] (the Biblical names), maybe with [name]Dorothea[/name], [name]Helena[/name], [name]Cecilia[/name], [name]Tess[/name] if nn for [name]Theresa[/name] (saints/very old names), but to me most of the girls names don’t fit all that well with these boys. Good girls names in the Bible are a little hard to come by, but they’re certainly out there.

[name]Felix[/name], [name]Charles[/name], [name]Theo[/name] (I prefer [name]Theodore[/name] nn [name]Theo[/name] for flexibility with [name]Ted[/name]), [name]Henry[/name], [name]Graeme[/name] (I prefer spelling [name]Graham[/name], although I think this is more true in US than elsewhere), nearly all of the girls could go with these. These names are English and/or Continental to my ear, and the girls names are mostly either and I think these are two traditions that blend OK. [name]Ingrid[/name] seems very difficult because she’s so Scandinavian. I love the name [name]Ingrid[/name] but have this problem considering it too.

[name]Iris[/name], [name]Rosalie[/name], [name]Camille[/name], [name]Rose[/name] (all have a flower tie in but I don’t think would be too much, especially if you didn’t use [name]Rose[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] together).

Good luck!

I like your choices!
My sons are named [name]Henry[/name] and [name]Walt[/name] (short for [name]Walter[/name]), so those are obviously my favorite (and people always say they go well together). I also love [name]Benjamin[/name] (my husband’s name!) and [name]Arthur[/name] (a name I’m considering for #3 but am worried it is too much like [name]Walter[/name]. I like [name]Emmett[/name] a lot too but I wish it had a nice nickname.
My favorite girl name is [name]Martha[/name], partly because it sounds the most American. I like American sounding names. But I also like [name]Camille[/name] and [name]Elodie[/name] just because they are so pretty sounding.
Good luck!

I have some time on my hands so I think I’ll make a short comment on each, we’ll see if I get through them all. I hope my advice is at least some what helpful!

BOYS:
[name]Claude[/name] - I’m never sure how to pronounce this, is it Cl-owed, or C-lawed? It’s not bad though!
[name]Dash[/name] - Cute nickname for [name]Dashiell[/name], not enough to stand on its own, though, in my opinion.
[name]Art[/name] - Cute nickname for [name]Arthur[/name].
[name]Arthur[/name] - I actually really like this :slight_smile: [name]Art[/name]'s a cute nickname too.
[name]Isaac[/name] - I’ve always liked [name]Isaac[/name]. Very nice.
[name]Felix[/name] - I’m a fan of [name]Felix[/name].
[name]Benjamin[/name] - The name of a very good friend of mine. Solid, classic choice.
[name]Val[/name] - Reminds me of [name]Valerie[/name], which probably isn’t a good thing if it’s on a boy.
[name]Casper[/name] - Cute :slight_smile: I’m not sure how it would grow up though…
[name]Jasper[/name] - Some how [name]Jasper[/name] grows up better than [name]Casper[/name]. There is the Twilight association though.
[name]Charles[/name] - Not my favorite name, [name]Charlie[/name]'s cute though, but if you use [name]Charlie[/name] I definitely recommend keeping [name]Charles[/name] on the birth certificate. [name]Charles[/name] is certainly a classic name though.
[name]Theo[/name] - I like [name]Theo[/name] for a girl. One of the few unisex names that is feminine to me. I love [name]Theodore[/name], especially nn [name]Teddy[/name]. [name]Theo[/name] is nice too, though. I’m not sure it should stand alone.
[name]Henry[/name] - I adore [name]Henry[/name]. One of my all time favorite names. Sadly, it’s inching up the popularity list. I’m not sure if that’s an issue for you or not. Either way, you can’t go wrong with [name]Henry[/name] because it’s a very classic, solid name that I feel gives off a very nice vibe.
[name]Emmett[/name] - I like [name]Emmett[/name]. Keep in mind the Twilight association.
[name]Thaddeaus[/name] - [name]THaddeaus[/name] is a lot of name. It’s alright. I’m not big on it, but I certainly don’t hate it.
[name]Aric[/name] - Looks like a butchered [name]Eric[/name] to me, I don’t know if it is or if it’s a different name entirely. Either way I dislike it.
[name]Graeme[/name] - [name]Lovely[/name]. [name]Graham[/name] is nice too, either one is perfect.
[name]Keen[/name] - :S I’d pass on this.
[name]Noah[/name] - A tad too trendy for my tastes, but still a nice name.
[name]Walt[/name] - I’d rather [name]Walter[/name] on the birth certificate, but I like it.

GIRLS:
[name]Iris[/name] - Absolutely beautiful. Charming and spunky.
[name]Ingrid[/name] - Cute, I wouldn’t use it but I like it.
[name]Rosalie[/name] - Twilight.
[name]Camille[/name] - Like [name]Claude[/name], I don’t know if I should say [name]Ca[/name]-mill or [name]Ca[/name]-meel. I’m not a fan.
Cordeila - Very nice. [name]Cora[/name]‘s a cute nn too. Or [name]Delia[/name].
[name]Mathilde[/name] - Charming.
[name]Tess[/name] - Too short in my opinion. I don’t like it.
[name]Opaline[/name] - [name]Opal[/name] is nicer I think.
[name]Althea[/name] - Different. I like it.
[name]Rose[/name] - One of my absolute favorites. I love [name]Rose[/name]. Perfect.
[name]Babette[/name] - I don’t like the “[name]Bab[/name]” sound, or the “ette” sound, so this doesn’t work for me.
[name]Sylvie[/name] - [name]Lovely[/name].
[name]Ohara[/name] - I think of [name]Scarlett[/name] O’[name]Hara[/name]. I’m not a fan of the name.
[name]Dorothea[/name] - Adorable! [name]Dot[/name] or [name]Dottie[/name] would make good nicknames too.
[name]Martha[/name] - It’s cute, not my [name]FAVORITE[/name], but it’s alright.
[name]Idys[/name] - I don’t know how to pronounce this.
[name]Helena[/name] - I don’t know if it’s [name]Helen[/name]-uh, or Hell-ay-na.
[name]Cecilia[/name] - Absolutely lovely. Very sweet, yet spunky. [name]Celia[/name]'s a cute nickname.
[name]Cile[/name] - I don’t know how to pronounce this.
[name]Cecily[/name] - It’s alright.
[name]Mattea[/name] - It’s alright.
[name]Odessa[/name] - It’s alright.
[name]Valerie[/name] - I like it.
[name]Matisse[/name] - I don’t like it.
[name]Elodie[/name] - Very nice. :slight_smile: Much better than [name]Melody[/name] in my opinion.

Boys: [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Graeme[/name]

Girls: [name]Odessa[/name] [name]Rose[/name], [name]Opal[/name] [name]Mathilde[/name], [name]Iris[/name] [name]Cecilia[/name]

My favourite boys are:
[name]Dash[/name]
[name]Arthur[/name] nn [name]Art[/name]
[name]Isaac[/name]
[name]Felix[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Aric[/name]- I’ve never heard this before but I like the way it looks!

My favourite girls are:
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Ingrid[/name]
[name]Martha[/name]
[name]Helena[/name]
[name]Camille[/name]
[name]Ceilia[/name]

I feel that all of my favourites could work together as siblings :slight_smile:

Boys:
Most favorite:
[name]Dash[/name]: Trendy but with reason. Charming and masculine. [name]Do[/name] prefer it as nn for [name]Dashiell[/name].
[name]Felix[/name]: So happy and bouncing and yet masculine and smart.
[name]Benjamin[/name]: a classic with so many great sounds in it.
[name]Jasper[/name]: Underused Biblical gem (literally). Becoming popular a little.
[name]Theo[/name]: Prefer it for [name]Theodore[/name] although it does stand on its own. So much punch with the O.
[name]Henry[/name]: Stylish classic
[name]Noah[/name]: Trendy Biblical name, trendy for a reason.

Wouldn’t recommend:
[name]Casper[/name]: the ghost is less well known than he used to be, but it’s a bit much. [name]Jasper[/name] is so much better. [name]Casimir[/name], [name]Cassian[/name], [name]Cassius[/name], [name]Caspian[/name]?
[name]Aric[/name]: It’s interesting, but I’m convinced he’ll go through life with people thinking he’s [name]Eric[/name]. [name]Do[/name] you like [name]Alaric[/name]?
[name]Keen[/name]: I like the sound, but there’s too many plays on words. Could be a good mn.

Favorites:
[name]Ingrid[/name] - underused Scandinavian gem. [name]Just[/name] feel so few names go with it.
[name]Rose[/name] - so classic and pretty.
[name]Martha[/name] - Biblical charmer.
[name]Helena[/name] - gorgeous with any pronunciation. I don’t mind the flexibility personally.
[name]Cecilia[/name] - underused classic with so many nicknames.

Wouldn’t recommend it:
[name]Mathilde[/name]: People will pronounce or spell it wrong. I’d recommend [name]Matilda[/name], or not at all.
[name]Idys[/name]: Not sure what this is. [name]Iris[/name] or [name]Inez[/name] or [name]Ines[/name] are much better.
[name]Cile[/name]: Not sure what this is. Fine as a nickname for [name]Cecilia[/name] or [name]Cecily[/name] (but of course I like [name]Cecily[/name] for [name]Cecilia[/name], that’s my style).
[name]Babette[/name]: too much [name]Barbie[/name], baby, a dated prefix + suffix.
[name]Matisse[/name]: intriguing to honor the artist, but really out there.

[name]Favorite[/name] sets: Oldies but goodies: [name]Claude[/name], [name]Arthur[/name], [name]Charles[/name], [name]Henry[/name], [name]Walt/name, [name]Iris[/name], [name]Althea[/name], [name]Dorothea[/name], [name]Opaline[/name], [name]Odessa[/name], [name]Martha[/name]. Quite a few can flex into this group.

Biblical: [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Isaac[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], [name]Noah[/name], [name]Martha[/name], [name]Mattea[/name]

[name]Happy[/name]: [name]Dash[/name], [name]Felix[/name], [name]Theo[/name], [name]Graeme[/name], [name]Tess[/name], [name]Cecily[/name], [name]Elodie[/name].

Good luck!
