From your boys’ names, I like [name]Asher[/name] and [name]Thomas[/name]. I feel the rest are mainly too feminine, short or trendy, although both [name]Innocent[/name] and [name]Valentine[/name] hold quirky appeal (but would be difficult to pull off). [name]Scott[/name], [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Ralph[/name] are quite nice, but I prefer [name]Asher[/name] and [name]Thomas[/name], even though [name]Asher[/name] is a little trendy at the moment.
From the girls’, I like several of your choices - [name]Esmeralda[/name] (nn [name]Esme[/name]?), [name]Minerva[/name] ([name]Minnie[/name]), [name]Persephone[/name] (I love the nns Sephy and [name]Effy[/name]) and [name]Pollyanna[/name] are all beautiful. [name]Olivia[/name] is too, but is also extremely popular. There are connotations to be considered with [name]Persephone[/name] and [name]Pollyanna[/name], though - poor [name]Persephone[/name] had to spend all of her time in the Underworld in Greek mythology, and [name]Pollyanna[/name] was initially a rather bratty child in the eponymous book.
You may also like [name]Apolline[/name] as a root to [name]Polly[/name], which is the female version of [name]Apollo[/name].
I like [name]Alice[/name] when spelt correctly, and [name]Billie[/name] is a possibly nn for [name]Wilhelmina[/name], although personally I prefer the nn [name]Willa[/name] ([name]Billie[/name] feels dated to me …).
[name]Imogen[/name] is also nice, simply not one of my personal favourites.
thanks you! with the nn u were totally rite! that IS wt i woudl call them for short. thnx for advise as wel. i dont like apolline, im afraid.
thnx, C.B
