I like Meg and Natalie from your girls and Sam and Max from your boys best.

Good lists!

[AurorasShoes]

Girls - all lovely. Juliet is my favourite
Boys - I like all of them except Ned

[Bowlersarm]

All lovely.,

I really like Stephen. I love short names in general but for some reason I don't like Steve.

[PeteCampbellsRecedingHairline]

Not a fan of Stephen and Martha but the rest are all lovely.

For a girl I would say Juliet or Meg
For a boy Max or Ned

[Littlecherublegs]

Great lists!

Particularly like Martha & Elsa.
Natalie is nice though I don't like Nat.
Love Megan but dislike Meg.
Juliet is ok.

Love Zach!
Max is nice, Sam is ok, not keen on Stephen and really don't like Ned.

[wigglesrock]

I like them all apart from Martha & Max. I've never liked the name Max and Martha I just can't warm to.

I really like Natalie & Juliet.

[Dylemma]

I don't like any of the boys names. Ned is a horse to me.

Don't like Meg or Natalie but really like Martha (actually love) and Elsa.

[CordeliaRose]

From your list I like Martha, Meg, Juliet, Sam and Max.

[MortifiedAdams]

I have a Meg!! Bloody love it.

We had Max and Travis for our boys names so hapoy to say to you:

Meg or Max

[elcranko]

Martha and Max are my favourites from your lists

[Mutteroo]

My parents were all set on calling me Stephen back in 1970. Not heard of many babies with the name nowadays, which could be a good thing.

Juliet is my favourite girls name off your list, followed by Meg & then Martha.

Ned, Zach & Max are my favourites from your boys list in that order.
