As the title suggests. I am looking for opinions on our name choices (positive and negative). Surname will be Clarke.

Boy:
Jacob
Lucas
Henry
George
Elias
Ralph
Ezra

Girl:
Lois
Penelope (penny)
Rosie
Olivia
Amelie
Elena
Evelyn
Erin

[Leah00]

I think Jacob and Elias sound nicest with your last name (and less boring than the others)

For a girl, Amelie

Firstly, love ur asking peoples opinions! Of course it really doesnt matter as it's what you think but sometimes get some funny responses. My first bit of advice though would be to say it in whatever accent you hate the most and test the sound, and also think of any awful nicknames or having it shortened, see if u can live with the worst!

Love all tbe boys bar Ezra and Elias- sound pretty intense for a name, I don't know how else to explain that feeling, just intense, maybe reminds me of like biblical times I don't know?

Love all the girls name, really pretty! Lois, mega fan of that!!!

What a load of meh. I presume you are a conventional sort. Ezra just makes me feel icky why is this name so popular?

[yelyah22]

I love them all except Ralph - my choices would be Ezra or Jacob, and Erin (my favourite underused, classic name that's not twee!).

[DramaAlpaca]

All of the names on both lists are perfectly fine - with the exception of Ralph, which is truly awful. I'm not mad on Ezra either.

My favourites are probably Henry, Lucas & Jacob and Penelope, Lois and Erin.

[Sooobooored]

I just came on to also say I like them all except Ralph.

[Thistlegirl4]

I like Lucas and Lois the best from your lists.

[4amWitchingHour]

I know the OP asked for rate and slate, but there's no need to be a complete wanker @ncqtime

[whatausername]

I dislike George and Ralph with your surname. Ralph sounds a bit wet and George sounds very boring.

Erin's lovely.

[123Dancewithme]

Henry Clarke sounds good.

[EngagedAgain]

Boys - I think George looks and sounds better with surname. Names with C in don't flow as well. Amelie for girl.

[monkeyonthetable]

I love Elias and Ezra most. Both sound really good with Clarke.

Like Elena best from the girls' list.

[RoseMartha]

Of your boy names I prefer Jacob or Henry Clark.


Of your girls, Rosie or Penelope or Erin Clark.

[sadpapercourtesan]

Jacob - too common, boring
Lucas - meh, no character
Henry - LOVE it
George - love it, would shorten to Georgie
Elias - wishy-washy
Ralph - bleeeeeee
Ezra - like it

Lois - nope, Family Guy
Penelope (penny) - not for me but its OK
Rosie - like it, but would use as a shortening for Rosemary or Rosalie
Olivia - OK, bit middle-class and over-used
Amelie - meh, too common now
Elena - prefer Eleanor
Evelyn - harsh-sounding and too fashionable
Erin - OK, nothing special

Lois Clarke is a bit superman...

Of your boys names I like George best, followed by Henry. I think most of the others just sound a bit weak, and Ezra I'm just not a fan of.

I like all your girls names, but Penny Clarke sounds like it could be a job title 🤔 I particularly like Rosie.

[Ulrikaka]

Jacob Clarke will end up sounding a bit like Jakelarke, same with Luclarke. George is the architect off the tv (not a cultural reference your dc will care remotely about, but just springs to mind). Elias makes me think of Alias, Ezra quite common round here. Ralph is a penis name.
Love Henry!

Lois, Penelope (was on my list but would have had nn Polly), Rosie - love.
Olivia, Amelie, Erin - every class I taught was full of them in the mid-late 00s.
Elena - prefer Eleanor.
Evelyn. Frumpy and noone knows how to pronounce it.

[Painsnail]

Lois Clarke has a very superman vibe...

[snowone]

I love Elias for a boy, my husband hated it though. For girls I love Elena and Erin but I would spell it Eryn. In fact DD1 was very nearly Eryn but we changed our mind at the last minute

[RainbowMum11]

Lois Clarke sounds like a Superman mash up (Lois Lane and Clarke Kent!)

[littlealexhorne]

I love Ezra, or out of your girls list I'd choose Olivia, which I actually still like despite it being so popular.

[willowtree81]

Really nice names. I like Jacob, Elias and Rosie best.

[Namechange8471]

Jacob and Rosie 👍

[Enough4me]

Jacob or Erin

Definitely not Ralph

[Crabbo]

Jacob - might get shortened to Jake. Not keen
Lucas - nice
Henry - boring
George - really boring
Elias - ok
Ralph - wiggum
Ezra - nice but quite popular

Lois - ok
Penelope (penny) - thunderbirds
Rosie - not keen
Olivia - not keen
Amelie - pretty but popular
Elena - nice
Evelyn - not keen
Erin - lovely
