I really like your list overall!

I guess the only name I don't like is Harriet.

I love Theodore, Jack, Edward, James, Julian, Alexander, Henry, Nathaniel, Philip, Eleanor, Elizabeth, Alice, Harriet, and Sophie. I like Caspian, Benjamin, Jane, Emma, Felicity, Alexa, Carys, Frank, and Zachary but I wouldn't use them myself. I don't like Rhys, Gethin, Imogen, Rhiannon, or Marilyn.

Harriet is my #1 name for a girl, and I have Eleanor on my list as a middle name:)

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Aww you don't like my Welsh names! Haha, they'll probably be the only ones I'll be able to use out of these, as my BF hates almost all of them!

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Aww, you don't like Gethin either!
I'm not sure which I like best out of Rosalyn/Rosaline/Rosalind, but at the moment it's Rosalyn!

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Love Jack, Julian & Alice, like Caspian, Rosalyn (I prefer Rhoslyn) and Imogen.
The rest are all alright, in my opinion, the only ones I really don't like are Harriet and Gethin.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Pfft, no one really likes Gethin! Makes me sad, haha!
I'm not keen Rhoslyn as I knew someone with the name, and I didn't really like her!

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Aw! Well, what can I say, it reminds me of someone saying "I'm gettin' what I want!" or anything like that ;) (sorry!)

Haha, I'd say stick with Rosalyn then. I never met anyone called Rhoslyn. I'm guessing you're actually in Wales though, judging from your LJ name? =P Then it isn't so unusual to meet someone called Rhoslyn, I guess.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Fair enough!
Haha, yeah I am. Although I never really met many people with very Welsh names! I've only ever met one Rhoslyn!

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

Too bad, I love Welsh names! =D

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Me too [if you hadn't noticed :D]!

[sloane-hd.livejournal.com]

Also like: Nathaniel, Zachary and Juliet

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

:D someone else like Rhys, haha!

[sloane-hd.livejournal.com]

yeah I like it a lot actually!

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
:D

Boys
1. Theodore - Love it!
2. Gethin - Never heard of it, but I looked it up, and it's Welsh, and I believe you're in Wales, so there you go.
3. Jack - It's not horrible, but I much prefer it as a nickname, and it's insanely popular. There are just so many little Jacks running around. Not to mention the Jacksons, and the Jakes. :-\
4. Edward - Love it! I'm not crazy about Eddie either, but still.
5. Caspian - Not really my taste, but definitely not bad.
6. James - Classic and sturdy, even if it is popular.
7. Julian - Okay.
8. Benjamin - For some reason I don't like this name... it seems really common or something. But once again, it's not a bad name.
9. Alexander - Nice.
10. Rhys - I love Rhys as well!

Girls
1. Imogen - This used to be one of my favourite names. How are you pronouncing it?
2. Elizabeth - Classic, elegant, just all around great.
3. Eleanor - Basically what I said for Elizabeth, haha. Beautiful name.
4. Alice - I used to dislike it, but it's really been growing on me. Simple but pretty.
5. Jane - This is my favourite name right now, partly because of Jane Austen.
6. Rhiannon - I like it.
7. Harriet - Wouldn't use it, but it's pretty good.
8. Rosalyn - Very nice, although I prefer Rosalind.
9. Emma - Beautiful.
10. Sophie - Not for me, but very nice.

I also love Henry, Nathaniel, and Felicity. Your list is pretty amazing. My absolute favourites, though, would be:

Theodore, Edward, James, Rhys, Henry, Nathaniel.

and

Elizabeth, Eleanor, Alice, Jane, Felicity.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

I am in Wales! Well remembered/looked up!
I know Jack is incredibly popular, and I probably wouldn't use it, but I love it!
IM-ah-jen. Sort of. I'm horrible at spelling things out!
:D

Boys
1. Theodore -I know a Theodore who goes by Teddy, I think it's cute
2. Gethin -I have never heard this name before! I don't really care for it, it sounds like someone trying to talk with a lisp
3. Jack -I have no problem with the sound of this name but I find it pretty trendy right now
4. Edward - Love it! And I don't think anyone would call him Eddie if you didn't
5. Caspian -Love it too, this is a guilty pleasure name of mine
6. James -classic
7. Julian -It's nice
8. Benjamin - I love it, but it's my husband's name so I am biased :)
9. Alexander -blah
10. Rhys -I don't care for the super Welsh names

Girls
1. Imogen -I like the way it looks more than the way it sounds if that makes any sense
2. Elizabeth -classic and lovely
3. Eleanor -My husband and I's agreed upon name for our first daughter so yeah I like it :)
4. Alice -love it, wish my husband did too
5. Jane -like it alot
6. Rhiannon -like it alot
7. Harriet -I can't get behind this name, it's just so maiden aunt to me
8. Rosalyn -I hate names that end in lyn but I do like Rosalin, Rosaline, Rosalind etc
9. Emma -it's cute but I'm sick of hearing it on every baby I know
10. Sophie -I love this too, so much! I would use it myself but it's my husband's cousin and my good friend's grandmother's name that recently passed and I am giving her dibs on it even if she's never asked

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure on the nn Teddy :/ Aww, you don't like my Welsh name either! & I know what you mean about Imogen, I'm like that with some names!
:D

[jesus--suburbia.livejournal.com]

I like them all except Gethin, Rhiannon, Harriet and Rosalyn.

We have similar tastes. I'm not a fan of Henry or Felicity either, but Frank is a name I plan on using for a MN after a friend. :)

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Aww, it makes me sad that no one likes my Welsh names, hahah!
:D

[lavandersparkle.livejournal.com]

I like Elizabeth, Felicity, Juliet, Nathaniel, and James. I don't like Alexander, Henry, Marilyn, Sophie (although I love Sofia), Carys, Jack, Edward, Julian, and Benjamin. I hate Frank, Gideon, Phillip, Caspian, Emma, Harriet, Gethin, Theodore, Rhys, Jane, Rosalyn, Alexa, and Alice.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Aww, someone else who hates my Welsh names!
I can't decide if I like Sophie/Sofie/Sophia/Sofia better! Hahah.

[cherrysorbet.livejournal.com]

I like

Theodore
Edward (and I LOVE the name Eddie :P)
Benjamin
Rhys

Jane
Rhiannon
Sophie

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

I'm not a huge fan of any nn's, but for some reason I just REALLY hate Eddie!
:D

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

Benjamin is my favorite boy's name, and Jack, Edward, James, Julian, Alexander, Rhys, Nathaniel, Phillip, and Zachary are all on my favorites list, as well. I like Gideon and I like Caspian, though I consider it to be a Narnia name. I've never liked Theodore, probably because I hear it, I think, "ALVIN, SIMON..." I'm not much on Frnak or Henry, either. I'm not sure I've ever heard Gethin before, but I don't really like it.

Elizabeth, Eleanor, Jane, Rosalyn, Emma, Sophie, and Juliet are all on my favorites list, as well. Imogen was my favorite name for years, and it's not on my top list anymore, but I like it a lot. Alice, Rhiannon, Carys, and Felicity are very pretty, too. Harriet makes me think of Toni Collette being so awkward and goofy in Emma. I don't like it. I don't like Alexa or Marilyn much, but they could be worse.

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]

Caspian, though I consider it to be a Narnia name - They're some of my favourite books, my favourite obviously being Prince Caspian :D
I never watched the Chipmunks, so thankfully I can avoid that!
:D Cheers!

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

I love the Narnia books, too. My favorite was The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader". I'm hoping that and the upcoming Caspian movie will be less disappointing than the first one was for me.

*mutters evil things about the films, and people who let the book be made into films*

Haha, I'm not a huge fan of the films :D

[bobinwales.livejournal.com]
