Hi everyone Smile
We’re not sure if we’re going to have a boy or girl yet. I’d love some feedback on our final baby name list- or if you have any suggestions to add. I like slightly more unusual names (literary or a bit hippy vibe) and dh is drawn to the popular top 20 type names but doesn’t like that they’re so popular Hmm
so we’re trying to find a compromise lol Grin


Girls:
Juliet
Aurelia
Stevie
Frida
Lara
Silver

Boys:
Jude
Caspian
Evan
Ernest (nickname Ernie)

Juliet and Lara. Don't like any of the boys' names.

For me, Juliet and Evan are way way way more favorable than any of the other choices, both great names.

I like Juliet. How about Sylvie? Absolutely love Ernest! On my shortlist if we ever have another boy.

My daughter is Lara so obviously that's my top girl's name. From your list I like Jude best for a boy

Girls:
Juliet - love, was on our DD shortlist
Aurelia - too princessy for me
Stevie - seems like a nickname
Frida - makes me think of cows for some reason!
Lara - fine, don’t love it
Silver - too out there for me

Boys:
Jude - love but prefer as a nickname for Julian
Caspian - ooh, like it but bold
Evan - love
Ernest (nickname Ernie) - bit too trendy for me with the ‘old man name’ fashion

I LOVE Stevie and Frida! Utterly gorgeous! Aurelia and Juliet are pretty too. I’m less keen on Lara and Silver. I did know a girl called Silva once and it really suited her.

Your boys names are all great. Cassias and Ernest are particular favourites of mine.

I don't usually like boys names for girls, but due to the great Stevie Nicks, I think it is lovely. Frida is a bit marmite for me; today I like it. Juliet is ok. Don't like the others.
Caspian is ok. Don't like the others.

Frida and Jude are the best ones in my opinion.

Although I think Jude is becoming quite popular.

Aurelia and Lara are the nicest out of the girls names although they are all quite pleasant to me apart from Frida.

Evan is by far my fave one from your boys list. Jude is nice but verrrryy popular. Really don't like Ernest at all.

Juliet is lovely. Jude is my favourite from the boys names, Ernest/Ernie is awful. The others are all ok but not my style.
