Love Miles Henry.

Not too keen on the others to be honest, if i had to pick one of your girls it would be Jemima Elizabeth.

No-I want honesty Smile can I ask is it anything in particular or just a general 'meh' about them?

Miles or Susannah.
Casper is nice, but I do always think friendly ghost.
Jemima - again, lovely but I think old-school rag dolls.

I love jemima and Casper.... Though not sure about Casper with Henry, but how often do people say while names is probably shouldn't be an issue !

I really like all of them and they are very similar to ones on my short list for imaginary DC2! I think both boys names are great, probably prefer Miles Henry by a smidgen. Prefer Jemima to Susannah but only because Susannah reminds me of Trinny and Susannah, but really it is a very nice name Smile

Casper Henry is lovely, not so keen on Miles.

Really like Elizabeth as a middle name but not really keen on Susannah or Jemima, though like Jem but not Sue as nn's.

Tbo its probably a reflection of my taste in names. I tend not to say why i don't like a name as I just offend people. However what I like about the middle names is that they aren't faddy, they don't lend themselves to odd nicknames, they aren't of a particular era. Strong, classic beautiful names with lots of potential for nicknames. They also work well on babies, children and adults.

Does that help or make sense? FWIW my preferred first name is Susannah but it wouldn't be my first choice.

But I'm a random stranger on the internet so what do I know!

I am similar to tidler, just say the ones I love and the ones I don't so not to offend, the others on your list are ok but not for me.

If you love them what does it really matter what I think really, as tidler says I am just a random person on the Internet!

Tilder thanks for explaining. Fully appreciate that we are t'interweb randomers but it's great to hear some impartial opinions iyswim?
I love Elizabeth but already have an Elodie so I think they'd be too similar together.
Thanks to everyone for your comments.

Like them all. Especially the girls names.

Casper- does scream friendly ghost at me though, I like it, but I can't get past it. Sorry.

I completely understand. Baby names are very personal though and I its tricky being honest without causing offense sometimes. For me anyway.

I did the same thing when choosing names for dc3 and really good advice.

Susannah Elizabeth is gorgeous.
Don't like the boys' names or Jemima, sorry.

Hate Susannah. You've got all these elegant, quirky names picked out, and Sue tagged on the end.

She will be just called Sue. Plain, dated Sue.

Jemima lovely. Ditto Casper. Susannah will get shortened and some quite dull options.
