Which of these names do you like?
I’m all about the classics. Here are my options:
Girl:
Charlotte
Gwen
Jane
Scarlett
Lauren
Claire
Boy:
Caleb
Bennett
Jack
Patrick
William
Matthew
Any opinions? I don’t like funky spellings (I’m a teacher) or new/unusual names (I have one and hate it). Which of these are favored?
I like your taste, it deserves a thoughtful answer!
As far as girl names go, Charlotte, Jane, and Claire and Lauren are all excellent choices. There are benefits to each.
Charlotte has the most unique sound — “C” is not an extremely common first initial and “it” is quite rare as an ending sound. But despite its different sound, the name itself is very familiar. The downside is that it’s gotten significantly more popular in the last few years.
Jane, too, has a fairly unique sound. It’s a one-syllable full name and ends in “ane”. On the other side, “J” is fairly common as a first initial. The downside of Jane is that many people find it simply boring, along the same line as Anne or Jo. That’s why the saying “plain Jane” got its origin.
Lauren and Claire are a bit more modern, but both have had consistent popularity since about 1970. Before then, they were mostly unfamiliar. Not to say that that’s a bad thing — they aren’t quite as solid classics as your other choices though.
I dislike Scarlett. It’s too Hollywood. Gwen is nice, and I totally understand why you don’t want to use Gwendolen — it’s silly to choose a name and then immediately shorten it. I have a name like that, and when people say my full name aloud I don’t feel like it’s really mine. But I don’t like nicknames as given names, so I can’t like Gwen.
I like all of your boy names except Bennett. Caleb, Jack, William and Matthew are all very common, but there’s nothing wrong with common names if they don’t bother you. Caleb and Jack sound more modern than William and Matthew. Depends on which style you prefer.
Patrick is very nice. It’s had consistent popularity for a long time, but it’s outside the top 100 these days, which to me is a plus. It’s classic, but it’s not an “obvious” classic like William or Henry.
I don’t like Bennett because the surname-as-first name trend doesn’t appeal to me.
