I like Nathan and don't think it's overused at all I also really like Nate which is very similar. For girls I like Serena best

woollytights · 19/09/2018 05:35

I agree Nathan is a snake name, no idea why I think so though!

Sungura · 17/09/2018 02:11

Hard to judge. Lara for the girl, I guess. The boys I like all about equally. Nathan offers both Nat and Nate as nns which I like. I don't like Harrison or Joshua to be shortened.

kettleonplease · 17/09/2018 01:58

Boy- Joshua
Girl- Amber

SpoonBlender · 16/09/2018 22:53

@jungwan I dunno, that's just how it comes across to me. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Choccywoccyhooha · 16/09/2018 01:06

They are all nice names. I particularly love your girls names and out of the boys names i'd put Nathan at the top.

JungWan · 16/09/2018 01:02

''nathan is too snakey''. whaaaaaaaaat?

JungWan · 16/09/2018 01:01

I like Nathan and Joshua but not Harrison
I like all the girls names. Probably like Lara and Nathan best.

luckycat007 · 16/09/2018 00:59

Nathan and Serena - best by far

Picknickers · 16/09/2018 00:45

My nephew is Joshua so I love that. My favourite from your girl's list is Amber. I knew one who went by the nn Bam Bam!

moredoll · 15/09/2018 01:45

I like

Joshua
Harrison
Nathan

Amber
Lara

In that order

Agustarella · 15/09/2018 00:04

Serena is beautiful.

sexnotgender · 15/09/2018 00:04

Hate Nathan.

SpoonBlender · 15/09/2018 00:02

Can't be doing with Nathan, it's too snakey. I've never even known any Nathans but I'm sure they're estate agents or used car salesmen. All the other names are fine!

UnrelentingFruitScoffer · 15/09/2018 00:00

All nice apart from Harrison.

AlliKaneErikson · 14/09/2018 23:59

PS they are the only ones with their names in their schools. Harrison is Harri for short.

AlliKaneErikson · 14/09/2018 23:58

You’ve got both of my kids on your list, one in the boys and one in the girls (they begin with H and L)! Good taste ;-)

dontcallmelen · 14/09/2018 22:35

Nothing wrong with the boys names, but I’m not keen same with the girls names, but I do like Lois it’s a bit different.

Shadow1234 · 14/09/2018 22:32

Lara is beautiful
Preferred boys name on your list is Harrisson (nn Harry)
Its not very popular where my children go to school.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 14/09/2018 18:45

Joshua and Amber are my favourites from your list.

Petalflowers · 14/09/2018 17:48

Prefer Nathaniel to Nathan.

Joshua and Harrison are okay.

All girls name are nice.

Rockyroadmallow · 14/09/2018 17:45

Nathan- 'naughty name' purely based on the fact 3/4 Nathans I've ever known have been incredibly badly behaved
Joshua- nice in that it's traditional but it's very overused. I hate 'Josh'
Harrison- surname to me. Really not keen

Lara- tad boring. I think there are many more interesting and exciting names than Lara. It's pretty though.
Amber- nice
Serena- nice

firsttimebabybirther · 14/09/2018 16:34

Pleasantly surprised to see some normal names to judge Grin

Think my favourites are Joshua and Amber

LusaCole · 14/09/2018 16:13

Personally I know more Nathan / Nathaniels than either of your other two boys' names! Joshua is my favourite.

QueenOfMyWorld · 14/09/2018 16:08

Harrison would be shortened to Harry by most people so you'd have to decide if you like that too.what about Lana instead of Lara?
