My friend has 6 children... what do you think of the names?

Jack David Alexander
Juliette Elizabeth Rose
Quinn Christopher James
Nora Claire Adeline
Charlotte Anne Catherine
Jamie Nathaniel Andrew

Also, what do you think of the name Jake for a girl? Maybe with another spelling?

I really like all of the names that she has chosen for her children... they have an olden day feel to them except for Jamie anyway...

I like the names your friend has choosen...rather classic. I don't like Jake for a girl though, strickly a boys name IMHO. Good luck..

Okay, so first of all: NO to Jake on a girl. Very emphatic, absolute NO on that one. Secondly:


Jack David Alexander ~ is a nice enough name I would have preferred John nn Jack.
Juliette Elizabeth Rose ~ very pretty, fits well w/ Jack and Quinn IMO.
Quinn Christopher James ~ hm, not really my cup of tea. Maybe Quinton nn Quinn.
Nora Claire Adeline ~ I like Nora and Claire but not Adeline and none of these names seem to mesh well together.
Charlotte Anne Catherine ~ I love Catherine and I'm not a big fan of Charlotte. Just looking at this name, saying out aloud, makes me frown. Something just isn't right about it.
Jamie Nathaniel Andrew ~ well...I don't like Jamie as a given name, but James is already taken by another child. Maybe replace Jamie w/ Jacob or John? Jonathan? I like Nathaniel and Andrew together but that Jamie doesn't make sense.


Charlotte and Nora is a good set and Jack, Juliette, and Quinn are a good set but the two sets together as a whole really don't make a whole lot of sense. And poor Jamie just sticks out like a sore thumb.


Just my two cents!

First of all...no to Jake for a girl...it's just too masculine, IMO.

Now, for the other names. I'm not a big fan of using two middle names...it just seems too much to me.

Jack David Alexander--I would have used John David or David Alexander
Juliette Elizabeth Rose--Juliette Elizabeth, Elizabeth Rose or Juliette Rose
Quinn Christopher James--Christopher James
Nora Claire Adeline--Nora Claire
Charlotte Anne Catherine--Charlotte Anne or Catherine Anne
Jamie Nathaniel Andrew--Andrew Nathaniel

All are nice but Jamie should be James and called Jamie.
Jake for a girl is horrid no matter how you spell it.

I like all your friend's children's names except Jamie. Jake is a boy's name (well, a boy's nn) and should not be used for a girl under any circumstances.

Jake is name that has to remain a boys name. I don't like it at all for a girl but I do love it for a boy.

The other names are all very pretty and classic. Why three names for each child though?
