now-see-how-youve-scored-_55343

Now, see how you’ve scored...

Mostly A’s – New modern:

Josh, Jack, Archie, Max, Honey, Daisy, Matilda, Violet

You have taste, you’re sensible and you understand the fact that kids don’t want to stand out – they want to be like their mates. But you also want to be creative and a little original. Fast forward three years, though, and there’s bound to be at least two other children at nursery who have the same creative, original name as yours!

Mostly B’s – Out there:

Apple, Bluebell, Sistine, Tallulah, Pilot, Blue, Moses, Cosimo

You’re too cool for conventional family life. Your kids will sit on your hip as you travel the world (or fashionable clubs and haunts). You want complete originality – after all, your child is unique and you want a name to reflect this. So what if little Fifi Moonstar grows up to be the CEO of a bank? It’ll just add to her fabulous individuality…

Mostly C’s – Super traditional:

George, Edward, Charles, Arthur, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Alexandra

When it comes to names, you want your kids to have a childhood free of mockery and teasing. Sure, they may not be the most original names around, but they’ve withstood the test of time and are like blank canvases onto which your children can project their own wonderful traits and quirks. These types of names are also first choice for families who want to hand down names from one generation to the next.

Mostly D’s – Designer darling:

Paris, Chantelle, Lola, Summer, Preston, Harley, Parker, Chester

You like originality and want a name with a difference, but you’re also seduced by the glamour of celebrity association; so where better to take inspiration than from the pages of celebrity magazines? You want your kids to be ambitious, successful, glamorous and, hell, why not, famous? The downside? Give it 20 years and no-one will be in any doubt as to how old your kids – and therefore you – really are!
