Lily Grace is really nice but not Lily-Grace with a hyphen or any girls name either with a hyphen. Children can have any number of first names, so hyphens not required.

Noah is a good solid boy's name but would think it's less used outside London which probably makes it more of a good one.

TillyTheTiger · 13/09/2017 13:13

Harper-blu - sorry but agree with pp this sounds like toilet cleaner
Aria - beautiful but popular
Amelia-Jade - lovely but I would do away with the hyphen and have Jade as a middle name
Frankie - like this if used as a nn for Francesca?
Myla - prefer Mila
Lily-Grace - incredibly popular

And for boys..
Eden - girls name, how about Edwin?
Beau/Beaux - please not with an x
Rylee - what's wrong with Riley?
Noah - gorgeous

Beadieeye · 12/09/2017 21:11

From your list, Eden for girl or boy.
Similar suggestions: Erin, Emlyn respectively.

caffelatte100 · 12/09/2017 20:38

Harper-Blu - sounds like toilet cleaner
Aria - quite nice but short...
Amelia-Jade - just use the first part, or with an e
Frankie - too boyish imo. would go for Francesca, Frannie
Myla - I like it, but it's the name of sexy underwear
Lily-Grace -maybe

And for boys.. (Agree with above poster)
Eden - awful
Beau/Beaux - worse
Rylee - ridiculous spelling
Noah - fine

If you like Aria for a girl, how about Ari for a boy?

Liadain · 12/09/2017 20:24

Oh, it's you again.

Harper-Blu - tacky
Aria - pretty but there will be a load of them due to got
Amelia-Jade - too much of a name!
Frankie - not just as Frankie, no. Francesca.
Myla - no
Lily-Grace - not hyphenated. Lily or Grace imo. Both very popular.

And for boys..
Eden - awful
Beau/Beaux - worse
Rylee - ridiculous spelling
Noah - fine

Rainbowqueeen · 12/09/2017 06:29

Aria is gorgeous.

Agree with PPs re hyphenated names. Love Amelia and Harper on their own though. I've never seen Myla before and I like it

I liked Riley but not spelt the way you have it. Poor kid will spend his life correcting people. Noah is also fabulous.

PinkFlamingo888 · 12/09/2017 05:56

Please don't ever spelll Beaux with a x! The child will just be judged it's entire life by people that speak French

MrsTerryPratchett · 12/09/2017 02:35

Just a question. Has any poster on any of the threads liked Rylee?

MrsTerryPratchett · 12/09/2017 02:34

Aria is lovely but there are going to be a shitload of Arya girls because of GoT.

Buntysoven · 11/09/2017 23:00

Aria is gorgeous.

Greenifer · 11/09/2017 22:12

Myla is a brand of lingerie.

Noah is really lovely. Aria is fine. The others are not my cup of tea at all and Harper-Blu is positively awful. Amelia is a lovely name if not hyphenated with Jade.

pieceofpurplesky · 11/09/2017 22:01

Although one is Mila

pieceofpurplesky · 11/09/2017 22:01

I know two Mylas. Both Welsh and both men.

littlecabbages · 11/09/2017 21:59

I do know two girl Beaus and I inwardly judge Blush

Blue/bleu/blu is a bit try-hard

littlecabbages · 11/09/2017 21:58

Rylee is a horrible spelling not to my taste.
Eden is, imo, a boys name not as PP said 'girly' as I know of a few boy Edens (mainland Europe though, and pronounced eh-Den like Dirty Den)

Love love love Aria!
Noah is nice but just a bit blah as there are so many around... Boys names are hard !

Rylee for a boy

OP posts:
Grimmfebruary · 11/09/2017 21:42

Rylee is the female spelling. I know a male Rylee and it drives me crackers. Blu is horrible whatever it's paired with.

llangennith · 11/09/2017 21:31

Please don't use a hyphenated name! Most of the names are not to my taste but that's just me.

DuggeeHugs · 11/09/2017 21:28

Aria
Noah

Pemba · 11/09/2017 21:26

Take away the hyphens and wacky spellings and there are some decent names in there, at least for girls. But NOT Harper-Blu which sounds like a bottle of toilet cleaner. Amelia, Lily and Grace are all nice, as is Myla, although I prefer Mila (mee-la) really. Frankie is OK as a nickname for Frances or Francesca.

Beau is definitely male, but an awful lot to live up to ('beautiful'). Beaux is plural, like pps said. Eden sounds girly, I like it as a girls' name. Rylee sounds really chavvy, especially with that spelling. At least Noah is a a normal name, although I'm not really keen.

BewareOfDragons · 11/09/2017 21:23

Every Eden or Idun I know is a girl. Please don't do that to a boy.

Noah is quite popular where we live.

Aria is pretty.

rainbowpie · 11/09/2017 21:17

Girls:

Amelia but no hyphen
Francesca nn Frankie

Boys:

Noah

That's it.

Allthecake · 11/09/2017 21:11

Eden is brilliant for either a boy or a girl.
Noah is gorgeous too but probably not for you if you're bothered by it being popular, same goes for Lily. I personally don't like hyphenated names.
Never heard of Myla before, it's ok but I prefer Nayla (pronounced Ny-la).
Do you like Miles for a boy?

PsychoPumpkin · 11/09/2017 20:58

Frankie or Noah.

turquoise88 · 11/09/2017 20:54

Also appears to be a real 'yla' trend at the moment, Myla, Lyla, Nyla, Schmyla...again, not a fan personally, but of course, your choice :)
