[Opinions] Re: Grimsby (UK) BAs, and a horrible sibset +
Girls
Isabel Lily (Olivia, Joseph, Amelia) - lovely sibset.
Charlie Mae (Olivia) - not Charlie on a girl! I can tolerate it as a nn but not on it's own. And May/Mae is turning out to be the Louise of this generation, when I was younger every girl seemed to have Louise as a mn and now it's May/Mae.
Lucy Francesca - lovely
Freya-Anais - I love Freya but what is it with the obsession with hyphenating? The ones I've been posting so far have had, amongst others, Oliver-Jack, Lacey-Mia and today's Tegan-Kereda. Why I wonder?
Zara Jentina - not really my style.
Poppy - lovelyBoys
Finlay David (Daisy) - lovely
Theo Josh (Taylor, Kai) - Theo I prefer as a nn for Theodore and Josh for Joshua.
Joe Louis (Tommy) - Again with the nns
Niall Usher (Usher is mother's maiden name) - ok
James Simon (Aimee, Matthew) - nice
Benjamin Ethan - love Benajmin
Liam George (Joel) - love George.ETA: I've seen/heard of a few English Destinys, including a Destanee. :( I really hate that name.

"what is it with the obsession with hyphenating"Personally, I like to blame the trend on Mary-Kate Olsen. Realistically, I think it has a lot to do with parents liking too many names and they cannot decide on which one to choose so they just string them together with hyphens hoping people will think it is actually one name. I don't buy it. :o)
