Ezra is a great name.

'Rusty Rivetts' is a name of a children's tv character (boy) however I think Rusty would be really nice for a girl.

SuburbanRhonda · 03/10/2018 23:09

Ezra is very popular atm if you’re ok with that.

Frances is the best name ever for a girl Smile

Har1bosmummy · 03/10/2018 23:06

Please no for rusty (what if he's ginger) sorry OP

Theorbo · 03/10/2018 22:47

I really like Ezra but none of your other boys names.
I like Rosalie too.
Noa (the one I know is Jewish)
Asha (only Ashas I’ve come across are Indian )

Other suggestions:
Gabriel
Asa
Noah
Rory
Leon
Leo
Lorcan
Lucas
Tobias

Henrietta(Hettie)

Antonia (Toni)
Francesca (Frankie)
Leonie
Cara
Rosa
Leah
Nora

Asha is a nice girl's name if you are Indian - a little odd if you're not.

But you might like Asher for a boy (one of Joseph's brothers in the Bible).

Like PP said, Rory is also a good boy's name.

Ezra is fine - the other boys' names are not great.

Rowan
Eli
Bennet
Austin

Ezra and Rosalie. Lovely names.
Not too keen on others

Talkwhilstyouwalk · 03/10/2018 21:52

None of these are really my thing as I like traditional names.

Boys
Ezra - Passable, could be a cool kid with a name like that. Not sure if I like it for an adult
Grey - A dull colour
Romeo - An expectation to live up to
Rusty - Awful. Never heard it before. Like a rusty piece of old metal.

Girls
Asha - ok
Effie - Reminds me of an abbreviation of a swear word. Sorry, that's probably just me being silly.
Frances (or Francis?) - Ok if not a little geeky
Gloria - ok
Harrie - Prefer Harriet
Noa - ok
Rory - I'd say more of a male name.
Rosalie - ok

Love Ezra!

whatausername · 03/10/2018 21:48

Ezra is good. The rest of your boys' names are NMS. What had you thought about but cut from your original longer list?

The girls' are all fine but not loving Frances or Gloria much. They feel a bit 'old' for a child (even though a child becomes an adult but I can't imagine an 11 yo Gloria very easily).

DramaAlpaca · 03/10/2018 21:45

Of your girls' names, Rosalie is the nicest by far, followed by Frances.

I don't like your boys' names at all, they aren't my cup of tea. Ezra is the least worst.

I suggest you move Rory from your girls' list to your boys' list - it is a boys' name after all - as that's a very nice name. Just not for a girl.

wizzler · 03/10/2018 21:44

Francis is i for im and e for er!

PersisFord · 03/10/2018 21:39

Boys
Ezra - lovely
Grey - awful
Romeo - truly awful
Rusty - horrific!

Girls
Asha - meh
Effie - cute
Frances - lovely but this is the girl spelling
Gloria - lovely
Harrie - I like Harriet
Noa - nice
Rory - short for Aurora? Nice
Rosalie - lovely

I think you are on track with your girls names but the boys aren’t great. What about:
Arlo
Flynn
Acer
Caleb

LydiaLunch9 · 03/10/2018 21:39

Ezra is awesome. The other boys names are not my thing at all.

Of the girls names I like Noa and Rosalie. Asha is quite nice too. Not a fan of Rory or Harrie at all.
