I like classic names mostly. I very much dislike this current race to the bottom of giving your child a pensioner's name. Is reg nice? No it's fucking awful. Have taught too many simpering Ellies so not a fan. And still don't get the Florence or Bella love.

QuinnElle · 25/05/2018 07:12

Love: Max, Oliver, Annie, Gabriella

Hate: Jayden, Tyler, Molly, Millie, Mia etc... They're all a bit "the c word" to me.

LilMadAgain · 25/05/2018 01:51

No babies in my future (perhaps a nice rescue cat in a years time ) but I love the name Lillyanna, it's so sweet! I don't dislike any names but I am heartily fed up with all the Kayden Jayden Hayden boys here and having nothing even slightly different and alllllllll the ruby/lilly/maisy - rose/rosa/mai/mays... Just bugger off and spread out a bit.

Ickyockycocky · 25/05/2018 01:41

I hate Axl.

SleepingStandingUp · 25/05/2018 01:14

You'd get a better idea by asking people what they think of yours. In which Heidi os cute, the others aren't to my taste.

I like Iilyanna, lillith, martha, eden, xavier, zachariah, noah, gabriel,

Mousefunky · 25/05/2018 01:05

I mean, I could go on .

Like not so much: (I'm sure there are lots of wonderful people with these names, I just don't like them)
Margot, Penelope, Aurora, Henrietta, Prunella, Lavinia, Lauren, Maie/Mayy/Maye/Maaai or any stupid spelling of the name May, Stephen/Steven, Felix, Aaron, Jayden, Kayden, Ptolemy

Oh and the child round here that's called Bastille......why not just call him Wormwood or Pentonville and have done with it?

MissCherryCakeyBun · 24/05/2018 00:27

BrioLover · 23/05/2018 23:35

Love Dutch and French names like Marinus, Arjan, Julien, Theofiel, Willem, Marion, Johanna.

Can't stand the current trend for names like Maisie, Mabel, Daisy (those are cow or dog names IMO), or giving shortenings as actual names like Ronnie, Freddie, Alfie instead of Ronald, Frederick and Alfred.

Joeybee · 23/05/2018 23:26

LOVE Rafferty, Raphael, Brianna, Sloane, Bethany and Nathaniel.
Dislike: Aiden/Caiden/Jayden...any of those types of names...so common. Also Nicole/Nichole, Amanda, Ellen, Jackson, Nevaeh. Oh and any really girly/fluffy/prissy names like Betsy, Blossom, Fifi, Lulu...that kind of thing.

Like- Oscar/Oliver/Theo/Joshua/Sebastian/Caleb for boys.

Lola/Lucy/Rose/Annalise/Astrid/Avery for girls.
