Best and worst names...

Well I'm off work, in bed and all this royal stuff has got me thinking. Entertain me... what are your most and least favourite names?

I've always loved Emma and Oscar. I like Rowan for a boy too if we're talking a little more modern.

I can't stand double barrelled names such as Ellie-May, Lexi-Grace, Demi-Rae, Tayah-Mae etc.

Thoughts?

For a boy I love Leo, Isaac, Oscar, Lucas and Hayden.

I dislike Reece and Caiden

For a girl I love Olivia, Ava, Sara and Maya

I dislike Grace, Jodie and Neveah.

I dislike most names with awkward spellings though

MrPottergaveDobbyaSock · 26/04/2018 14:42

For Girls I love Daphne, Violet, Rosalind, Ivy and Emmeline. (all with Wren as a middle name)
I don't like (but DH loves) Jessica, Danielle, Kimberley etc.

For Boys, I love James (Jim), Jacob and Samuel
I don't like (but again, DH loves) Jack, Harry and Michael.

I agree completely. It would be super boring if we all did like the same thing!

But I just think picking children’s names that you like and dislike (mainly the dislike bit) is a bit personal and it always ends up with people offended which just seems unnecessary that’s all

It doesn't matter truffle we're all allowed to dislike things, if everybody agreed life would be boring, it's nothing to be offended over 😊

Oh I hate these threads. Everyone likes different things, what you dislike, someone else loves and vice versa

I still love the names I gave my DC's but also love Alaric and Arthur for a boy and Clementine and Matilda for a girl.

Nice

Probably be better if we just offered our favourite names OP, save upsetting others.
Rosanna
Harriet
Tess
Kathryn
Daniel
Dylan
Lots, lots more. Emma is lovely !

I love Brooke for a girl. For a boy, Jesse. But my favourite names change all the time!
