My names

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Here's my new and revised list of my favourite names!
Tell me what you think, and any combinations you like, or any other names!
The surname will be Morris.

Girls
Imogen (Imy)
Alexis
Lily
Elizabeth [probably be a middle name]
Sara
Rosalind
Rosalie
Alanna
Adelaide
Juliet

The only girl name my boyfriend and I can agree on is Sara Elizabeth Morris.
He hates almost all the names I suggest - especially Imogen, which is my all time favourite name! Although he does like Lily

Boys
Finn
Dylan
Jack
Ben
Nathan
Kester
James - One of my favourite names, but it's my half-brothers name. I don't really know him very well, but would it be odd to use?
Julian
Caspian
Christian
Edward
Rory
Beckett
Theodore

I think the only boys name he likes are Jack and James, which is all well and good, but they are fairly... boring names. Although I do love them they are pretty much the most popluar names on there!
His favourite boys names are William, which I hate with a passion, David, Mark, Paul, Richard as far as I can tell. Which are all really boring and really common here [Wales].

Imogen (Imy) - I don't like Imogen, at all, but I also think it's much more common in the UK than it is in the US, so whatever, haha.
Alexis - I like this name, but it's not a favorite.
Lily - I have a really hard time seeing an adult woman named Lily. What about using it as a nickname for Elizabeth?
Elizabeth [probably be a middle name] - I LOVE this name. I'd probably use it as a first name, but maybe that's just me.
Sara - Love Sarah, but I feel like Sara without the h looks incomplete.
Rosalind - It's okay, but not really my style.
Rosalie - I like it better than Rosalind, but I probably wouldn't use it.
Alanna - I prefer Alana, but either spelling is okay. It's a nice name :)
Adelaide - Not my style, but okay. I like the nickname Addy.
Juliet - LOVE this name. One of my personal favorites.

Combos:
*Juliet Alexis
Juliet Elizabeth
Juliet Alanna
Juliet Imogen
Juliet Adelaide
Juliet Rosalind
*Alexis Juliet
Alexis Imogen
Alexis Lily
Alexis Rosalie
*Sara(h) Alexis
Sara(h) Elizabeth
Sara(h) Rosalie
Sara(h) Juliet
Sara(h) Adelaide
*Adelaide Juliet
Adelaide Alexis
Adelaide Rosalie

Finn - LOVE LOVE LOVE. One of my favorites.
Dylan - This name seems so trendy to me, but maybe that's just an American thing. At any rate, I think you have much nicer names on this list.
Jack - I love it, although it is very popular.
Ben - I dislike Ben by itself, but as a nickname for Benjamin it's one of my favorites. So if the full name was Benjamin, I'd say go for it.
Nathan - LOVE it.
Kester - Not a fan. At all. It's too much of a last name-sounding thing to me.
James - It's my favorite, but I can see why you wouldn't want to use it. Maybe as a middle name?
Julian - LOVE it. Jude is such a nice nickname for this, too.
Caspian - Not my style, but I do like it.
Christian - Okay, but I prefer Christopher.
Edward - I love it
Rory - I know it's a unisex name, but the show Gilmore Girls has turned it into a girl's name, unfortunately. Maybe in the UK it wouldn't be a problem, though.
Beckett - Okay, but I prefer it more as a middle name. Other than Beck, I don't see any good nicknames for it, and Beckett is a mouthful for a little kid; Beck just seems too close to Becky/Rebecca for a boy.
Theodore - LOVE it. I like the nickname Theo.

I love Imogen! Rosalie and Juliet are nice too. Caspian is my fav on your boys list. James is fine even if it is a half or step brother's name.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

As far as I'm aware Imogen isn't that popular here. I only know two!
I really dislike the name Sarah, although Sara is one of my favourite girls names!
Ben would proabaly be Benjamin, but I just love the name Ben by itself!
Rory I've only ever heard as a male name, but then I've never seen the Gilmore Girls! It's definately still a male name here.
Beckett probabaly wouldn't be used. I know my bf will hate it! I just really like it :D

Cherrs for all your suggestions!

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
I so want to use Caspian. But the boyfriend HATES it. :(
I think I'll probably use James, even if its just a middle name!

I really like Ben, too, but with a nickname as a given name, I feel like people would think "why doesn't he write his full name?" on job applications and stuff. I mean, on that sort of thing, you need to write your full name, and if someone writes Ben Johnson instead of Benjamin Johnson, they assume that they don't know enough to put their full name, you know? Besides, with the name Benjamin, everyone will probably shorten it to Ben anyway, since it's not like he'll really need to correct people.

True!

I live in North America, and I would never consider Rory a female name. I guess it just depends on whether you watch Gilmore Girls or not. :-\

[the-good-ship.livejournal.com]

Like: Imogen (but not the nickname Imy); Elizabeth; Sara; Rosalind; Jack; Ben; Nathan; James; and Edward.

Also, I like Mark, but spelt Marc.

I like the combo Sara Elizabeth too.

My brother's best friend has a daughter named Aurora. They call her Rory...and she was born pre-GG. It just seemed a natural nn for them.

I like Rosalie Imogen!
