Which of these do you prefer...

Boys
Emrys
Jonah
Prince
Roman

Girls
Etta
Hazel
Luca
Reina
Romy

Love Emrys and Hazel.

I would assume Luca was a boy if I saw it written down.

ChaosMoon · 08/10/2018 11:27

I love Emrys - it's on my shortlist for boys too.

(@Eeevvvveee you'd pronounce the "rys" a you would the end out Idris)

Of your girls names, Hazel it's the best.

deptfordgirl · 08/10/2018 06:53

Jonah is gorgeous; use this!

Romy, Hazel and Etta are all nice.

chocolatefoxes · 07/10/2018 22:04

Boys
Emrys - not heard of this before but it's really nice
Jonah - great name
Prince - perhaps not
Roman -not my cup of tea

Girls
Etta - really nice
Hazel - like this a lot.
Luca - I've only met one female Luka before and she spelt her name like that. If I saw it written 'Luca' I'd probably think it was a boy but that's not necessarily an issue.
Reina - not keen
Romy - also not hugely keen.

Jonah and Roman from your boys list

Etta, Hazel and Romy from your girls list

:)

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 07/10/2018 10:16

Etta and Roman.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 07/10/2018 06:34

Jonah & Hazel

ReginaPhalange89 · 07/10/2018 06:19

Boys
Emrys - dislike this
Jonah - lovely
Prince - absolutely not ! Sorry that's a really horrible faddy name and he'd likely hate it
Roman - don't like, prefer Ronan

Girls
Etta - really nice
Hazel - nice
Luca - love this for a boy!
Reina - is this pronounced Ray-na? If so I like it !
Romy - no . So faddy and 2018

Duvetdaysbliss · 06/10/2018 08:43

I really like Etta and romy.
Don’t like any of the boys names sorry.
Do like Luca for a boy though

anatol · 06/10/2018 07:55

Luca is NOT a unisex name. It's an Italian boy's name.

Eleanor90 · 06/10/2018 07:44

Jonah or Roman
Etta or Hazel

NOT Prince!!

Eeevvvveee · 06/10/2018 05:04

Boys
Emrys - I've seen this a few times recently but no clue how to pronounce it
Jonah - love!
Prince - no, definitely no
Roman - this is fine but I don't love it

Girls
Etta - sweet
Hazel : sweet
Luca - boys name
Reina - seems a bit Kardashian to me
Romy - lovely!

MrsFoxPlus4 · 06/10/2018 03:07

Have to vote in favour of Roman & Romy! I have a daughter called Romani :)

kettleonplease · 06/10/2018 03:00

Luca for a boy, or Jonah
Etta or Romy for a girl

Sungura · 06/10/2018 02:32

I like any of your girls names, but for the boys, I only like Jonah.

Picknickers · 06/10/2018 00:17

Emrys and Hazel. Both great.

whatausername · 05/10/2018 23:12

Prince is horrendous. Luca is a male name to my mind. Lucy or Lucia would work better for a girl/woman.

BackforGood · 05/10/2018 22:57

I like Emrys if you have Welsh blodd - I think I'd get fed up of the question though.
I like Johah
Prince is especially awful.

Hazel is the only one of your girls's names I like. Well, I don't really like it, but it is better than the rest.

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 05/10/2018 22:38

I like Etta & Hazel

Sorry not a fan of any of your boy's names

BurtTyrannosaurusMacklin · 05/10/2018 22:34

Boys: love Emrys and Jonah, HATE Prince and Roman

Girls:
Etta - love
Hazel - nice
Luca - associate more as a boy’s name so wouldn’t choose it myself although nothing inherently wrong with it. Maybe Lucia?
Reina - not a massive fan
Romy - don’t like

Narya · 05/10/2018 22:28

Congrats on your pregnancy OP. In general these names aren't really my taste, but Jonah is quite nice. Hazel is my favourite of your girls names. Luca is definitely a boys name imo.

Budgieinaberet · 05/10/2018 22:27

Etta 🌟

Shadow1234 · 05/10/2018 22:24

Roman and Emrys (lovely names)
Luca and Romy (so pretty)

I know a Romy and a Luca - both 22.

finallychangedmyusername · 05/10/2018 21:07

Jonah is great, as is Luca (for a boy). Romy is nice as a nickname for Rosemary and I like Etta as a nickname too, for Henrietta or Juliet or even Violet.

DollyDayScream · 05/10/2018 20:48

I'm not sure about any of your names.

Roman and Romy are ok, the others aren't great (IMO).

How about...

Rowan (boy)
Mallory (girl)
