[LaurieFairyCake]

I don't like Matilda, Tegan (sounds like a car to me, sorry), Lyndon, Lucas much - all others fine.

Felicity is my favourite and Gabriel for a boy.

[Binkster]

I love Matilda and also quite like Stephanie. I think that Lynette sounds a bit dated- a but like Janet, Karen, Eileen- that kind of name.

Gabriel is a fab name and I think the rest of your boys names are really nice too. Samuel is quite ordinary, wheras the others are a bit more unusual.

Binkster

[echofalls]

Stephanie
Logan

[BunnyLebowski]

Stephanie - very dated
Felicity - a bit prim and dull
Lynette - terrible
Matilda - lovely
Tegan - awful Home and Away madeup name

Samuel - Nice
Gabriel - love this
Logan - see Tegan
Lucas - Like this one
Lyndon - don't like. Makes me think of the president or the Kubrick film and not of a name for a child.

[SamMitchell]

Stephanie - quite retro, but I like it
Felicity - bit twee
Lynette - dreadful, sounds like a Neighbours character
Matilda - OK, quite common these days
Tegan - hideous beyond belief

BOYS:

Samuel - classic, nice
Gabriel - gaining popularity; like it
Logan - 'Lynette's' son in neighbours? NO
Lucas - not keen
Lyndon - Lynette's husband? NO

[Tortington]

My ds will be called Frank (if I get one that is!)

[LynetteScavo]

Felicity I like it
Lynette - lovely
Matilda - lovely
Tegan - not keen

BOYS:

Samuel You cant' go wrong with Sam/Samuel
Gabriel - lovely, but I wouldn't use it myself.
Logan - I love it
Lucas - lovely, but a bit ruined by East Enders, IMO

Lyndon - not so keen

[Scorps]

Stephanie - The BEST name ever (Though DH likes totell me 'you have a fanny in your name ha ha )
Felicity - too frilly for me
Lynette - The BEST middle name ever
Matilda - i love this
Tegan - LOVE

I only dislike Lyndon from Boys list

[Cortina]

Stephanie - ok, bit dull somehow
Felicity - like, unusual but not bonkers
Lynette - dim 1970s check out assistant
Matilda - ok, but so many Tillys out there (Tilly poss chav)?
Tegan - Dr Who character from 70s, made up name orginating in some dull Aussie suburb

Samuel - nice, not over used
Gabriel - Heroes
Logan - Logan's Run, a bit chav
Lucas - great but over-used
Lyndon - don't like

[thedollshouse]

Stephanie - Not my cup of tea but ok
Felicity - classic, very nice
Lynette - Awful reminds me of a very rough woman I once knew
Matilda - On my list but is becoming very popular
Tegan - Don't like at all, the sort of name I would have chosen when I was 14.

Samuel - Inoffensive but a little boring
Gabriel - Lovely
Logan - naughty boy name
Lucas - Nice
Lyndon - Logan's partner in crime

[Scorps]

Teagan/Tegan is celtic. Lots round here.

[crumpette]

Stephanie- I think this name is pretty, it's not dated in a way that is saturated and thus associated with a generation, I think it would work equally well on a toddler, 20 year old, 50 year old
Felicity- bit saccharine
Lynette= NO
Matilda- Nice, I like a lot but becoming very popular atm
Tegan- NO would be my frank opinion

BOYS:

Samuel- Lovely classic
Gabriel-Nice
Logan- a berry? NO
Lucas- I like this a lot but think it is pretty popular right now and may sound very dated in 10 years time
Lyndon- No no no no no please no

[ScummyMummy]

I like Stephanie, Felicity, Matilda, Samuel and Gabriel.

[Tortington]

yes indeed Frank is a brill name

but completely nothing to do with this thread.

[Fluffypoms]

Boy; Gabriel

Girl; Tegan

[katnkittens]

GIRLS:

Stephanie - I really like this, she will get Steph which is pretty too.

Felicity - nice, I like Flick for a nn

Lynette - YUK desperate housewives/old aunt name

Matilda-LOVE LOVE LOVE, the one I know gets Tilly

Tegan - meh, not really

BOYS:

Samuel - Quite nice but a bit meh
Gabriel - Lovely
Logan- indifferent
Lucas - nice
Lyndon - Don't like it, a bit try hard American sounding

So I'd probably choose Gabriel and Matilda as my favourites

[Ineedsomesleep]

Don't like Stephanie, Felicity, or Lynette sorry.

Tegan and Matilda are getting more popular, especially Tegan. The local paper was full of Tegan's when it was running its beautiful babies competition.

Boys

Like Samuel and Gabriel but I do like classical names for a boy. Logan and Lyndon I just don't like. and Lucas is very popular too.

[mathanxiety]

Matilda, Stephanie, Samuel and Gabriel my favs. Lucas and Felicity -- ok but not great. Lynette, Lyndon, Tegan and Logan very bad, imo.

Felicity - nice
