Have a lovely day, friends! :sunny:

Oh how can I ever choose just one, [name_m]Charlie[/name_m]! I love them all!

But if I had to pick… :laughing:

[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] :blossom:
What a simply beautiful name! [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] manages to keep a lovely balance between grand and playful, with sweet nicknames like [name_m]Leo[/name_m] or [name_f]Nora[/name_f] to add spunkiness. This name is just so cartwheels, sunflower fields, uncontrolable giggling and cuddling a puppy! All the best things if you ask me. Very close honorable mention to [name_f]Felicity[/name_f].

[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] :teddy_bear:
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] on a boy is absolutely inspired! I love it. So cozy and warm with a hint of adventure. Feels like hot chocolate around a fire while sharing hilarious stories, directly after an afternoon exploring the forest. Honorable mention to [name_m]Robin[/name_m]!

So hard to pick, both lists are beautiful!

Anne -I may be a bit biased though since Anne of Green Gables is my favourite book. :joy: If I were to choose another name it would be Felicity.

Laurence -Feels so classic, but on the more unique side of things. (I almost chose Gilbert :see_no_evil:) And Hazel is so fun for a boy!

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites…

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] → light and zippy, cheerful and sophisticated, frilly but fun. [name_f]Love[/name_f] nickname options of Fliss, [name_f]Lissy[/name_f], City, [name_f]Fee[/name_f], and [name_f]Flick[/name_f] too

Shout out to [name_f]Marilla[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] and [name_f]Flora[/name_f] too.

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] → adventurous, gentle, handsome and happy - a long time favourite!

[name_m]August[/name_m], [name_m]Robin[/name_m] and [name_m]Julian[/name_m] were strong considerations too!

Haha, just click on my profile and y’all will understand how big of an [name_f]Anne[/name_f] of [name_m]Green[/name_m] Gables fan I am! (my pfp is [name_f]Anne[/name_f] too :wink:) AoGG is my favorite book of all time! Such a beautiful, timeless, classic.

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] - I’m absolutely obsessed with [name_f]Josie[/name_f]! Although seeing as you’re an [name_f]Anne[/name_f] of [name_m]Green[/name_m] Gables fan, maybe that’s not a great association…
[name_m]James[/name_m] - [name_m]Just[/name_m] the perfect boy name. You can’t go wrong.

[name_f]Beautiful[/name_f] names, so hard to pick! Right now, I’d say [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m], but it honestly could change by the day haha

[name_f]Flora[/name_f]: dignified, floral, but also energetic and unexpected. Like a [name_m]Roman[/name_m] goddess, or the woman who saved [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] [name_m]Prince[/name_m] [name_m]Charlie[/name_m].

[name_m]August[/name_m]: so… august. Stately and refined (the name of many kings in my country) but also summery.

[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] - beautiful, classical name, [name_f]Josie[/name_f] is an adorable nickname.
Runner up I had to mention - [name_f]Flora[/name_f], such a sweet classical name.

For boys number one from your list to me is [name_m]Julian[/name_m] - Not sure why but it gives me royal, fancy vibes, I really like that type of energy in a name.

[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is the one making me smile the most today (though [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] & [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] are strong competition)! [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] is literary gem that sounds cheerful and bright to me.

[name_m]Henry[/name_m] is just too cute! I find him so sweet and adorable. Maybe it’s because I’ve looked after many lovely little ones with this name. [name_m]Henry[/name_m] has a geeky chic vibe that I like too :blush:

I love that you have [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] on your boy list, I think it makes a great masc name. Shout out to [name_m]Robin[/name_m] who I almost picked over [name_m]Henry[/name_m].

[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] - bright and spunky, but intelligent and refined too. [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] has it all!

[name_m]Laurence[/name_m] - I think this is such a handsome name!

[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] – It’s sweet and elegant! I love both [name_f]Eleonora[/name_f] and [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] a lot!

[name_m]August[/name_m] – Warm and charming! I just adore this name so much!

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] for her fun, feisty, energetic, stylish, vintage charm.

[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] for his adventure, magic, excitement, and joy.

They’re two of my favourites!

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

This was easy. [name_f]My[/name_f] two top (usable) favorites are on your lists.

The girl favorite is…Daisy! It’s so strongly associated with the beautiful flower that just reminds me of a happy bright summer day. So charming, classic & lovable!

The boy favorite is…Julian! I see [name_m]Julian[/name_m] as being kind, smart, charming, confident, & a little international. Such a wonderful vibe & beautiful classic sound.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

I almost chose the classic [name_f]Anne[/name_f], but [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] is just so fun! I love the bouncy sound to it, and the meaning ā€œhappiness.ā€

[name_m]August[/name_m] :fallen_leaf:
The name [name_m]August[/name_m] was on my boys list for years, and I still have a fondness toward it. It is rugged and outdoorsy, and the nickname [name_m]Gus[/name_m] is adorable.

This is such an easy choice for me! I would choose

[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] & [name_m]August[/name_m].

I adore them both individually, and maybe even more so together. They feel so well matched. Summery, warm and bright.

[name_f]My[/name_f] top picks would be [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] and [name_m]Caspian[/name_m].

It seems obvious because it’s the literal meaning, but [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] is just such a happy and upbeat sounding name. I love the way it just runs off the tongue. It isn’t hard to spell or say, is familiar but rare, and has great nickname options.

Similarly, [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] also has a great ā€œmouth feelā€ for me and I enjoy saying it. It’s a newer name but I feel like it ages well; it has a certain weathered and ancient feel to it.

[name_f]My[/name_f] runner-ups would be [name_f]Anne[/name_f] (underrated in its simplicity) and [name_m]Robin[/name_m] (a handsome nature name).
