Edward I can now tolerate, though Ed I don’t like. Pieter is WAY too popular too much of a ’60s name where I live & Peter is just there for me. A bit dull, to be honest. I would have possible gone for Duncan, except for the ‘dunkin part & there’s a Duncan on a soapie here, so I don’t want that

I’m not really a fan of Anne/Anna/Annie etc & would never use them. They’re not bad & there’s nothing wrong with them – just not me. Henrietta does not appeal to me at all. The name, the style & the idea of a Henrietta to me is so opposite to me as a person & the type of vibe that a child of mine would be raised in. Clarabel I don’t mind & is sweet, though Clarabelle is better to me (dislike it when the names are spelled Annabel etc, it doesn’t look ‘complete’). I just don’t like Clara enough to ever consider it. Daisy I do like, though it had to grow on me. I wouldn’t use it, though I think it’s cute.Very British :)

Very interesting post
