I like Lewis, Oliver and George from the boys, and Lara from the girls.

Sophronia · 01/06/2019 19:23

George and Lara are the nicest ones.

Malyshek · 01/06/2019 08:09

If you like nicknames- I do too - you might want to pick longer names. Though you can always make it up. My son is Boris and I call him Borissenko, Borya, Boryenka, Borissovitch and Bobo all the time...

-Lewis - love
-George - really cute but I see this name as having an image of cute but smart but others may have a different opinion

  • Oliver - love it but very popular, maybe Olly instead
Mason - don’t really like it -Marley - I like it but I kinda see it as girls name
  • Chester - quirky and different
-Harley - not really

-Bella - very sweet and could but I struggle to see an older woman called Bella, maybe shorten a name such as Annabelle to Bella so she has the choice when she is older
-Leila - love it and considered it for both of my daughters
-Lola - I love it I think it has so much personality

  • Leela-Rose - not really, maybe Lyra-Rose or Leila-Rose but I’m not big on hyphenated names
-Lara - alright
yesok · 31/05/2019 21:44

Lewis & Lara are my faves from your list.
Leela-Rose is definitely not my cup of tea.

Proseccofuelled · 31/05/2019 21:35

Lila is pronounced Leela & is a much nicer name

Proseccofuelled · 31/05/2019 21:34

Oliver and George are really nice & Lara is ok. The rest are awful - cheap / tacky sounding (to me as one random person you’ve never met). You’ll never get a name everyone loves though.

AmyMaria2 · 31/05/2019 21:24

Thanks everyone & leela isn't made up by the way.. or maybe but not by me there is someone on hollyoaks called leela lol

Oliver and Lara

Leela??? Did you make that up?

JaneGlorianaVillanueva · 31/05/2019 20:58

Lewis - not keen
Oliver - love
George - lovely
Mason - not keen
Marley - not keen
Chester - not keen
Harvey - really dislike

Bella - ok but not my fave
Laila - nice
Lola - nice (although I follow someone on Instagram from Yorkshire who has a daughter called lola and she pronounces it "lerla" which isnt very nice
Leela-rose - really hate
Lara - quite nice, kinda posh :)

lolabellina · 31/05/2019 20:28

My favourites are Lewis and Lola

MikeUniformMike · 31/05/2019 19:23

Lewis - ok
Oliver - classic, very popular and only if you like Olly
George - classic
Mason - No
Marley - No
Chester - No
Harvey - I like it but it's considered a bit ch*v

*Bella - ok
Laila - prefer Leila
Lola - to nicknamey
Leela-rose - No
Lara - probably the nicest on your list

BuffySummerss · 31/05/2019 18:15

Lewis - ok
Oliver - very nice. Very popular
George - lovely
Mason - no.
Marley - no. Dogs name
Chester - it's ok. Only because I loved Chester Bennington though!
Harvey* - no.

Bella - it's ok.
Laila - ok. Better spelt Layla
Lola - it's ok
Leela-rose - Leela is hideous! Rose is lovely.
Lara - it's ok

Personally not a great fan of any of your girls names. Lola or Bella are the best of the bunch. Love Oliver and George from your boys list.

DonkeyHohtay · 31/05/2019 18:10

Lewis, Oliver, George and Lara are nice.

The rest are very "trendy" and Leela-Rose is downright awful. You did ask.

Eustasiavye · 31/05/2019 18:06

Lewis - don't like too surnamey for me.
Oliver - nice but very popular.
George - I don't like it, it just doesn't sound nice to me.
Mason - no too surname
Marley - reminds me of a dog.
Chester - ok ish reminds me of a chest of drawers.
Harvey - don't like it. A fat middle aged ride man.

Bella - nice but might get called Isabel.
Laila - nice but you might get lots of mis spellings.
Lola - nice but "she was a show girl"
Leela- Rose - no.
Lara - nice but I think it will become popular.

username55675 · 31/05/2019 17:02

Lewis - ok
Oliver- like it although very popular
George - same as Oliver
Mason - no
Marley - no
Chester - ok
Harvey* - ok

Bella - lovely
Laila - ok
Lola - my friends dog is called this so puts me of
Leela-rose- don't like double barrel names
Lara - ok

manicinsomniac · 31/05/2019 17:00

Why is it crazy to like Louis but not Lewis? I'm the other way around. I think Louis is okay but Lewis much, much nicer.
They don't sound alike at all.

Lobsterquadrille2 · 31/05/2019 16:43

Oliver and George are nice but there are masses of them. The only girls' name I like is Lara. How about Liana?

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 31/05/2019 16:29

Lewis - Nice name
Oliver - Boringly popular
George - A bit 'meh', popular though
Mason - Don't like it
Marley - Dog's name, I'm afraid
Chester - Could work (if surname nothing like drawers)
Harvey - Nice name

Bella - Lovely
Laila - Don't like this spelling. Layla?
Lola - Popular but nice
Leela-Rose - HIDEOUS; makes me think of the Futurama cyclops. Hyphenated (yuck) to boot
Lara - Beautiful name

Icklepup · 31/05/2019 16:25

George or Lara, none of the others are nice in my opinion.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 31/05/2019 16:20

I love Louis, but can't abide Lewis. Yep crazy I know.
Oliver and George are just okay. They're good names, but They wouldn't even feature in my top 1000 boys names.
Mason and Harvey Just screAm chav to me
Chester is just daft.
I prefer Marley for a girl.

Bella. Dislike.
Leela-Rose Awful
Lola. Awful.
Laila. Gorgeous.
Lara Nice name, but I don't like it.

Why has Leela the only name you're thinking of hyphenating.
Laila-Rose and Lara Rose go well together. You seem to like L names for girls, so I'll throw in some most ideas. Hope that's okay.
Leah. Liza. Linnet. Lacey. Lucy. Lilia.
Lorna. Lana. Laura. Louisa. Laura
Lydia. Leia. Lena. Lenna. Luna.

Pinkvoid · 31/05/2019 16:12

Lewis - prefer Louis
Oliver- very, very common but I have always liked it
George- again, extremely common but it’s a timeless classic. It will likely never go out of fashion
Mason- surname, not a fan.
Marley- surname, definitely not a fan. Very naughty boy called this in my DD’s class Wink
Chester - nope
Harvey- it’s ok but I wouldn’t use it

*Bella- I prefer Isabella
Laila- no
Lola- definitely no
Leela-rose- 10000% no
Lara- the best of the bunch

sawyersfishbiscuits · 31/05/2019 16:09

Lewis - fine inoffensive
Oliver - V popular but nice
George - popular but lovely
Mason - really not my cup of tea
Marley - no
Chester - I really like this
Harvey* - not a fan but inoffensive

Bella - v nice
Laila - prefer Leila spelling or name Leia
Lola - lovely
Leela-rose - sounds a bit cartoony and made up
Lara - nice, classier than others

Chester or Lara are the nicest imo x

taylorlynn · 31/05/2019 15:52

I like Mason, Marley & Chester

Really dislike Harvey & Lewis

I'm not keen on any of the girls names tbh but Lara is ok.

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 31/05/2019 15:21

Lara- LaLa
