What do you think of the following names?

Boys:

Dexter: awful
Felix: awful
Monty: awful
Lennox: awful
Max: ok
Rex: awful
Rocco: awful
Seth: ok for a 85 year old Yorkshireman but otherwise awful

Girls:

Lilly: not bad but def should be Lily
Cleo: not bad
Daisy: ok if she's going to be a singer or a painter but not if she's CEO of British Airways
Lexi: No, No, No.
Izzy: No, too common
Phoebe: Poss
Tabitha: a bit prissy
Scarlet: Nice but only for the right child

of course all of the above depend on the surname too.

Boys:

Dexter - ok but not hugely fond
Felix - dislike this, sorry
Monty - nice as nn
Lennox - nope
Max - okay as nn
Rex - awful imho
Rocco - dislike
Seth - I hate this, sorry - but most people on here love it

Girls:

Lilly - don't like the 2 'l' spelling - tis ok as Lily
Cleo - nope
Daisy - yes
Lexi - really don't like this
Izzy - as a nn
Phoebe - not terribly fond
Tabitha - nope
Scarlet - ok

Monty (as a nn) and Daisy get my votes.

Lily is v popular in general, but virtually unknown in prep schools (IME). Lexi is inexcusable (sorry). Monty is great. Seth is dodgy as it's very 2010. Of the girls' names, Tabitha (though that is popular in prep schools. Again IME. ).

I have a 7 yo lily. There is one other in her school and then I know of a baby lily - plenty of other names are more popular and I still love it.

I also love Cleo and Scarlett from your girls list.

Boys I like Max and Seth. Seth is such a cool name and I only know of one.

• 5yo dd
• Max

My yo dd is Daisy. I love it, obviously. Also really like Tabitha. Scarlett is OK

Boys - like Felix, Rocco and Seth is growing on me. Ma and Dexter are OK.

I like Felix, Monty and Max. Dexter and Rex are OK, but I don't like Lennox, Rocco or Seth.

I like Daisy, Phoebe and Tabitha, and Scarlett (with double tt) and Lily (with single l). Cleo is OK as is Izzy if nn for Isabel. I don't like Lexi.

Only Felix and Monty for boys. For girls Cleo, Daisy and Phoebe.

Most of the choices put me in mind of the children of a garage proprietor in Essex.

I like Seth and Cleo.

I do!!! why did I spell Isaac like that???

Boys:

Dexter - quite cool
Felix - I have a toxic ex with this name so a no for me, but other than that it's quite cool
Monty - no
Lennox - hmmm, growing on me
Max - ok
Rex - no
Rocco - no
Seth - ok

Girls:

Lilly - am not a girlie girl name fan
Cleo - as in the car? no
Daisy - no
Lexi - as someone says above "sexy lexi", bad idea
Izzy - prefer longer forms
Phoebe - love it
Tabitha - no
Scarlet - love it

caz this is such a mean comment - but I cant help it... How on earth have you came up with that boys names list when you obviously have had such brilliant taste to name your ds a fabulous name like Issac???

Lily is lovely, its funny - its one of these names that I often say "its very popular" to but its like Jack to me, I keep hearing its crazy popular and (I think) its high in the stats but I dont actually know many - I know of 1 Lily actually when I think about it.. (and 2 Jacks..not that thats relevant..)

Boys:

Dexter: No
Felix: No
Monty: No
Lennox: No
Max: Yes
Rex: No
Rocco: No
Seth: Poss

Girls:

Lilly: Yes
Cleo: Poss
Daisy: Yes
Lexi: No
Izzy: No
Phoebe: Poss
Tabitha: Poss
Scarlet: No

I would say Isaac and Lily have about equal footing in the popularity stakes.

How about;

Thea
Verity
Anna
Helena
Esther

I only like Felix, Max, Cleo and Tabitha (three of which are apparently cats' names and one a dog name ). My favourites are Felix and Cleo.

Boys:

Dexter - too surnamey
Felix = cat
Monty - love it
Lennox - Annie
Max - really like this
Rex - really like this
Rocco - no trying too hard
Seth - Emmerdale character

Girls:

Lilly - nice but prefer Lily
Cleo - Love it
Daisy - too twee
Lexi - OK
Izzy - prefer Isobel or variant with Izzy as nn
Phoebe - love it
Tabitha - hate it with a passion but don't know why
Scarlet - should have 2 ts

Seth and Rocco...YES! Love both

Tabitha...was my fave but DH said no.

NOT Lexi...it's very "Lexus" and will be rhymed wit "Sexy Lexi" when she's a teen. I see this with a relative.

Phoebe. Nice...what about Naomi?

Like the girls names but not the boys.

Dexter - no
Felix - our cat's name - also like for a human!
Monty - no
Lennox - no
Max - grandfather was a Maxfield
Rex - like
Rocco - no
Seth - no

Girls:

Lilly - like, but spell Lily
Cleo - no
Daisy - OK
Lexi - OK
Izzy - OK
Phoebe - OK
Tabitha - like
Scarlet - no

Max is ok-ish but the girls list reads like a most popular girls name list I'm afraid. If that doesn't bother you I think Lily is the best bet.

TBH if your partner doesn't like any of them then you really can't use one of them can you? But here is my 5p s worth..

Boys:

Dexter - not keen
Felix - too much of a cat/cat food thing
Monty - like
Lennox - awful
Max - great but popular
Rex - I like this one
Rocco - no!
Seth - like but it can be quite hard to say I think. Imagine shouting it down the supermarket aisle or at the park...

Girls:

Lilly - thought it was spelt Lily? Pretty but very popular
Cleo - like
Daisy - too little girl
Lexi - not for me
Izzy - no but Isabella is very nice
Phoebe - nice
Tabitha - cat
Scarlet - not for me

Dexter - Love this
Felix - I can't get over the cat food link
Monty - Makes me think of a horse
Lennox - Don't like this
Max - It's ok
Rex - Toy Story!
Rocco - Nope, too Madonna-y
Seth - Doesn't float my boat

Lilly - Very popular
Cleo - Reminds me too much of the car
Daisy - Can't imagine a grown up Daisy for some reason
Lexi - It's ok
Izzy - Prefer it as a nickname than a given name
Phoebe - Like this
Tabitha - Love this, on my shortlist for next time
Scarlet - Again, ok. But quite popular.

I only like Tabitha and Monty
