I like Kerr and Austin best and would add in Keir and Gregor.

Not a particular fan of any of the girls as they aren't my style but all fine.

I'd add in Ailsa and Lorna.

Adore Lachlan, it’s our top boys name if this one turns out to be a boy. DH is holding out for Maverick and we also like Torin. I love Stellan but he isn’t keen.

None of the girls names are jumping out. What about:

Marnie
Billie
Noa
Remy

ButDoUAvocado · 28/06/2020 12:50

Kerr just makes me think of wanker so I’d discount it for that reason but I love Keir.

Kester?

Prefer Malachi to Macauley

Love Indi, Austin and Peyton.

Other suggestions:
Chase
Flynn
Jago

Favourite boys names are Lachlan and Hudson. Favourite girls name is Isla but also love Hadley which was suggested in another post.

Report
Ohshitx · 28/06/2020 13:27

Hudson is a favourite, along with Kerr. I do also like Keir now it’s been mentioned. I thought I liked Adrian, but now that I see it written I can’t help but think of Rocky Hmm

The girls names are tricky. I’m more settled that I’ll find a boys name I love, girls names aren’t jumping out 😫

Jude, Austin, Lachlan for boys. Jax is particularly bad.

Only Sienna from your girl names. Isla is nice but very popular. None of the others.

Boys

Kerr - meh. Feels like more of a sound than a name
Jax - awful
Lachlan - lovely
Macauley - a surname
Adrian - Adrian Mole
Jude - lovely
Austin - State Capital or Powers. Sounds American but it's not awful.
Hudson - a river or a dog's name

Girls

Wren - lovely
Darcie - a bit too twee
Indi - ok
Peyton - Manning. Very American
Sienna - yes
Isla - lovely but very popular
Harper - ok
Piper - reminds me of the Pied Piper. Again. Very American to my ears.

Can I suggest Robyn for a girl?

(Intrigued by Lachlan, I don't know how to pronounce it)

Scottish here so proper pronunciation is probably not something that most English folk can manage (or I can adequately describe!) you need to make a noise in the back of your throat that is difficult if you've not done it from childhood Smile.

So English would be Lack lan, I wouldn't bat an eyelid at that.

Like Lachlan and Jude, none of the rest, sorry. Especially loathe indi, or any name spelled like that.

I hate Lachlan because so many people fck up the pronunciation. Why use the name if you can't produce the sound? Arrrgh. And I don't care much for anglicising everything! rant over

I really like Jude and Austin from your list. Adrian is fine but it feels very 90s.

Sienna, Isla and Wren are all nice from your list. Piper makes me think of the sister in Charmed or the actress from Coyote Ugly so feels very 90s American to me. Not that there's anything wrong with the 90s, it's just too recent to be cool I think.

My nephew's a Lachlan - love it, but for people who don't understand the Scots "ch", it does run the risk of being pronounced something like LACK-lan or LOCK-lan (or even LACK-linn/LOCK-linn). (I'd give the woman in the video my chips if she asked, but the real life pronunciation is quite a bit softer!)

I like Adrian, despite Mole - have Hadrian on my list.

I also like Keir (or even Keith, or Leith) better than Kerr, and love Jax as a nickname: maybe for Jackson, Jason, James, or even Jonathan.

I like Wren, Sien(n)a, and Isla from your girls' list.

Some other possibles (apologies for duplicates from PP):

B: Adair, Anselm, Ciaran/Kieran, Cillian/Kilian, Cormac, Ewan, Justin, Ringan, Stellan, Tristan

G: Alison, Blair, Blythe, Eilidh, Elin, Erin, Esme, Geneva, Ginevra, Greer, Honor, Liadan, Mirren, Morven, Paige, Seren

Either: Arran, Avery, Blake, Lennox, Morgan, Robin, Sage, Teagan
