BABY NAMES have ALWAYS been an obsession for me!! :D

CONGRATULATIONS!! :D You have a really interesting collection of names! Here are my thoughts:

Clementine - 9/10! I LOVE this name!!! It works BEAUTIFULLY for any age, has an EXQUISITE meaning and sounds sweet but classy! It would be a perfect 10 except that I hate the nickname Clemy and don't know what other nicknames really work??

Rapunzel - 4/10. Although this is a very romantic name I'm afraid that the teasing potential would be IMMENSE!!

Amaryllis - 10/10! LOVE IT!!! :wub: Perfect in every way: meaning, feel, sound, works well for any age, GORGEOUS nicknames!!

Amoret - 6/10. I wish I could love this name because it fits my style in a lot of ways but to me it sounds like a word rather than a name I'm afraid! :( Would you consider the delightful Amabel?

Ariadne - 4/10. A little too awkward for my taste, sorry.

Philomela - 6/10. Quite pretty but I LOVE Philomena SO much that Philomela just sounds slightly wrong for me, sorry!

Atalanta - 3/10. Sounds like a place not a name to me, sorry.

Calixta - 3/10. Would make a FABULOUS Perfume name, but just not my style, sorry!

Calliope - 9/10!! I LOVE this name!! Gorgeous in every way except that I can't picture it on a Baby so well. I LOVE Callie for a Baby though! :)

Rayne - 6/10. For me this is a gorgeous Second Name only as I prefer "frillier" First Names!

I'll do the Boys later! Please forgive me if I've been too blunt or said anything which hurt your feelings! :)

I'm back to do the Boys! :)

Phoenix - 8/10. This is a fabulous name which looks and sounds great!!

Blaze - 6/10. Unfortunately my eldest Daughter's love of the Sonic character Blaze makes it difficult for me to think of anything other than a purple cat with this name, but I think if I hadn't heard of her then I would find it quite a groovy name for a Boy!

Chance - 6/10. Not really my style but quite cool.

Chase - 6/10. Not really my style but quite cool.

Nate - 5/10. Unfortunately I really don't like nicknames as full names. I try to imagine situations like Job Interviews etc and find I prefer people to always have a Full Name option.

Will - 5/10. Same as Nate.

James - 9/10. A FABULOUS name which works brilliantly for any age and sounds gorgeous and sophisticated but not snobbish! If it had a nicer meaning I'd give it a 10/10!

Edward - 10/10!! PERFECT in EVERY way!! :wub:

Heathcliff - 9/10! What a GREAT name! Romantic and something I haven't considered before! I REALLY LOVE it!!

Cameron - 7/10. A nice name but just not my style, sorry!


Wow! I really enjoyed exploring your Names, thank you!! :) My 3 Favourites for each gender are:

Amaryllis
Clementine
Calliope

Edward
Heathcliff
James

God bless and all the very best! :)

Thanks x
I was thinking, for Clementine I could use the nicknames Mena, Tina, Cleo, or Emma/Emmy.
I think it's my fave for girls x

Also, what do you think of Nathaniel, nickname Nate?

Thank you! You've been so much help cx we're pretty much decided on Clementine Azalea for a girl (I adore flower names and it's a little more unique than Rose or Lavender etc) or Nathaniel Edward for a boy x we have a short surname so the long names fit very well x
