HelpVery nice names, most of them
in reply to a message by Sophie
I really like Arthur (makes me think of King Arthur). Humphrey and Jemima I don't like as much. Humphrey makes me think of an old "Sir Humphrey" in parliament (must be some TV series I've seen).
Ferdie looks like a nn for Ferdinand. But using nn as formal names seems to be ok in Britain. Ferdinand makes me think of the Disney cartoon of the bull who did not want to fight but sit under the tree and smell the flowers. We watch it every Christmas on TV in Sweden, so this Ferdinand is probably more well known here than in England.
Theodore and Orlando are handsome names. I like Isaac too, but it is not as dashing as his brothers' names.
Oliver is a favorite of mine. I see that the British are not afraid of using more than one mn.
Emily, Gabriel and Rose are lovely sibling names.
Araminta is really uncommon, sounds like a princess in a fairy book.
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
