Hi, this is my first post. I am a first time mum to be and have always loved thinking about what I would name my child. Of course name preferences have changed throughout the years since I was 8! Now I have to make an ACTUAL decision I’m feeling a little overwhelmed.

We are not finding out the sex of baby so need opinions on both boy and girl name possibilities please.

Boys:
Mason
Harry
Jacob
Ethan
Jack
Robert
Oliver (Ollie)
Jamie
George

Girls:
Grace
Penelope (Penny)
Lois
Isla
Aria
Erin
Daisy
Evie

Looking forward to reading opinions... good or bad!!

Jamie is the best of your boys names. The others are too popular and meh.

Not mad on any of your girls names but if I had to choose one it would be Aria as it sounds the nicest and is the least common.

I am not that bothered about the names being popular. Would rather know I like the name then try to find something less popular just to try to be different I think.

Congratulations!

Most of the names on your lists are very popular, not sure if that bothers you?

I like Harry, Jacob, Jack, Robert, Oliver, Jamie (prefer James “Jamie”), George, Grace, Penelope and Lois. I dislike Mason and Aria.

My favourites are Robert and Penelope.

To be honest, they're all such different kinds of names, that it's hard to give an opinion. If I had to choose and it was for my baby, I would choose Grace and George, but then I quite like traditional names.
