Help[Opinions] Re: BAs from UK
in reply to a message by Sofia
So many Alexanders and Alfies!
Alexander's just ok IMO. Willa's cute.
Alecsei is alright. I like the nn Alec, although the spelling looks odd (can't think of a better way to spell it though without the x)
Quinlan is nice as a mn
Alfie just screams nickname to me. But I don't like Alfred or Alfonse or any of those, so i probably wouldn't use them either.
Lots of double middle names, too. Is that very common in the UK these days? I'm not a fan of it. There's no place on official forms for them, and while they're important to parents when they're naming kids, they're otherwise not used much.
Love the sibset Alistair and Ivy! Alistair Jack is a cute combo: a throwback name with a spunky middle. Alistair is on of those fusty old names that I secretly love! I also like it spelled pretty much any other way - Alastair and Alastar. Alasdair and Alisdair are great, too! haha
Alasdair is probably my favorite way to spell it, with the nn Adair.
Angus is growing on me. Angus, Chloe and Caroline is a nice sibset. I like Angus James as a combo. Angus Wilfred Neville is a bit much! too ancient-sounding.
Arki is...odd. What is that derived from? and sister Katinka just makes me (sorry!) think of the movie Zoolander. "This is Inga Katinka Bogovana-na-NA!"
Archie: not a fan.
Arlo is okay. Like Milo. or Enzo. Arlo James sounds nice together. Arlo sounds a little kiddish for an adult, like a nickname name, but not too bad. Also, sort of reminds me of Alpo, the dog food. But it's not horrid.

I wouldn't say double middle names are that popular overall, but they are definitely popular among the upper classes. I only have one middle name (like most people I know) but there's plenty of space on most forms though for more than one. They usually have a line asking for first name, other name(s) and surname.
