Finals

Alexandra and Isaac are my faves x

I like Frances as a girl's name but love Francesca. Charlotte too. Marianne = Anne-Marie?

So pleased my name is favoured here, although I've personally never been called by the nn.

Martha and Rory.

Love Esther and Reuben

Charles often gets Chuck. How about Chick as a nickname for Charlotte?

Esther - yuck.
Marianne - feels a bit prim.
Louisa - Nice name. The wheeze sounds puts me off a bit.
Martha - frumpy
Ava - lovely
Eva - even lovelier
Frances - doesn't get frumpier than this.
Juliet - beautiful
Lillian - Lily and Liliana are lovely. This is the frumpy version.
Amy - nice, classic.
Alexandra - (would use Ally as nn) Timeless classic. Can't go wrong.
Charlotte - beautiful. Charlie ruins it imo. Just use the full name. It's the same length.

Oliver- nice
Aaron- nice
Isaac- nice.
Matthew- lovely
Francis - not my cup of tea
Connor - love but worry it's a naughty boy name
Reuben- nice but might not date well
Rory- lovely

Esther or Eva

Isaac or Rory.

Love love love Louisa, Juliet, Charlotte. And Amy, Marianne, Esther and Alexandra are also excellent. For boys, Isaac, Aaron, Matthew, Reuben, Rory are superb. Also like Oliver too but the popularity puts me off.

Marianne and Reuben for me! Ava, Eva and Oliver are incredibly popular in my area...they’re everywhere.

Esther -yes
Marianne - yes, favourite. Classic but slightly quirky and not common.
Louisa-yes, classic and elegant.
Martha-too dull and worthy servant.
Ava- no, too bland.
Eva-as above.
Frances- yes. Classy and not cutesy.
Juliet- ok but I prefer Julia.
Lillian- yes.
Amy- no. Too bland. Don’t like names that end in y sounds.
Alexandra -yes, classic.
Charlotte - no. I find it downmarket. It’s the ch at the start.

Oliver- no, a bit boring.
Aaron- no, OT names for boys are going out of fashion.
Isaac- no way. Downmarket.
Matthew-yes but a bit dull
Francis - not too keen but Frank is good
Connor - ok ish
Reuben- no,another OT name
Rory- yes, favourite

Esther meh, housewives of cheshire try hard to be quirky name

Marianne nooo its so boring and old and will get mixed with mary ann mary anne

Louisa no too doc marten

Martha stewart! Arthur marthar dont like it its very outdated and dull

Ava ugh not another ava

Eva meh

Frances really bad. Sorry.

Juliet romeo joke for ever

Lillian ok

Amy chavvy

Alexandra (would use Ally as nn) ally baba? Alex nn is better. Its the best name on your list

Charlotteshe will be called char. Too easy to do.

Oliver too many olivers in the world.

Aaron very boring

Isaac love it

Matthew no because matt is a nn i dislike, door mat.

Francisnooo, try hard.

Connorno

Reuben no

Rory the racing car? Gilmore girls?

Not keen on Esther but really like Martha (not old lady at all) and Juliet. Like your boys' list, particularly Matthew, but dislike Connor.

Like all of the girls names except Eva/Ava just because they're overused.
All of the boys names are fairly common in my area with exception to Matthew, Francis and Rory (and they're names that stand the test of time too).

*Francis (sorry spelled it wrong in my post)

I like Juliet also Charlotte and Alexandra. Not sure about the boys names. I like Frances because it's different I have never met any

Girls

Esther - love it. Old family name for me and have always loved it.

Marianne - like it a lot.

Louisa - pretty - have known it to be confused with Louise.

Martha - nice but a bit overused possibly.

Ava - thin

Eva - thin and gets mixed with Ava a lot.

Frances - love this. Strong and pretty. Have always thought the Male/female ending s should be the other way around !

Juliet - Like this with stress on either first or last syllable. Less fond of jules which may be inevitable.

Lillian - nice. Rather an ‘old’ name? Due more use I think.

Amy - nickname short for something else ???

Alexandra (would use Ally as nn) A bit boring I think but like ally.

Charlotte ( this is our fave but I like to use nicknames but I hate chat or lottie. Don't mind Charley but wouldn't go mad for it. Any other suggestions?) Like it. Also like char. Not lottie.

Boys

Oliver - boring only through overuse. Like it nonetheless

Aaron - thin slightly weak. Pronunciation can cause confusion.

Isaac - like it

Matthew lovely.

Francis Like for a girl. Less fond for boy (ending seems feminine to me!)

Connor - in absence of Irish links no.

Reuben - not fond. Think of a sandwich.

Rory - but if a mouth twister.

Good luck op and congrats.

Love Rueben but maybe because that's my ds name lol with Finnley

And yes I know they are spelt the way the book says.

Love Erin too but your choice Ava

Esther - Don't like how my tongue has to move in my mouth to pronounce it!

Marianne - I like it. Lot's of shortnened versions to choose from and very 'pretty'.

Louisa - Dated.

Martha - I like it. Solid name.

Ava - Okay.

Eva - Okay.

Frances - Frumpy, Laura Ashley mum.

Juliet - Okay.

Lillian - Dreadful.

Amy - Easy, short and snappy, timeless.

Alexandra (would use Ally as nn) - Okay.

Charlotte ( this is our fave but I like to use nicknames but I hate chat or lottie. Don't mind Charley but wouldn't go mad for it. Any other suggestions?) - Dotty, Charlie, Tee, Arlo, Shar, Harlo - lot's of other nicknames. I like it.

Oliver - I like it.

Aaron - Harsh sounding. He'll always have to go first if things are done by name (hard if he ends up being shy).

Isaac - Okay.

Matthew - I like it. Solid.

Francis - Dreadful as a girl name. Even worse as a boy name.

Connor - Chav.

Reuben - Meh.

Rory - Don't like it. Let's hope he doesn't have a Jonathan Ross speech impediment!

Esther - like. A bit unusual but a classic.
Marianne - not keen. Quite a fluffy name imo.
Louisa- it's ok, no strong feelings either way.
Martha - Not a nice sounding name to me.
Ava - love.
Eva - prefer Ava.
Frances - dislike.
Juliet - my favourite on the list.
Lillian - quite like, like Lily too if shortened.
Amy - lovely, like a lot.
Alexandra - beautiful. Joint favourite.
Charlotte - don't like, sorry. A bit boring!

Oliver - like although would be tempted to sing "never before has a boy wanted more!" at every meal.
Aaron - dislike.
Isaac - love! I have one so biased.
Matthew - really like. A strong classic name.
Francis - dislike
Connor - dislike, least favourite on here.
Reuben - don't like at all.
Rory - ok.

That's a long final list lol

Esther - love it and love Essie as a nn

Marianne - I really like it, it has a classic feel

Louisa - nice enough just not for me

Martha - it's OK

Ava - I find it a bit dull

Eva - nice, much better than Ava just not for me

Frances - I find it harsh sounding on a girl, though love Francis on a boy. I love Francesca

Juliet - it's OK

Lillian - love it especially with Lil as the nn rather than Lily

Amy - I like though prefer the Aimee spelling

Alexandra (would use Ally as nn) - nice though not a fan of Ally. Prefer Andi

Charlotte - I like Charlotte nn Charles but like you I'm not a great fan of Lottie, plus Lottie's are everywhere

Boys

Oliver - it's nice but so so popular

Aaron - I like it

Isaac - like it

Matthew - it's OK

Francis - love it

Connor - dislike

Reuben - like it

Rory - like it

From your boys the only one I can get excited about is Francis

From your girls I like Esther, Marianne and Lillian best

I find Lilian and Marianne just too frilly. Like they’re two names masquerading as one. Almost sounds a bit like all the Gracie-Rae type names I hear a lot. That’s just my opinion, know others will disagree

Love amy Martha Ava and Eva

Boys love Oliver and Connor

Esther - dislike
Marianne - beautiful classic
Louisa - swoonworthy, I love saying it
Martha - hate
Ava - so dull
Eva - so dull
Frances - not keen prefer on a boy, I like Francesca

Lillian - not keen
Amy - bit too dated to my generation but actually lovely
Alexandra (would use Ally as nn) - beautiful
Charlotte ( this is our fave but I like to use nicknames but I hate chat or lottie. Don't mind Charley but wouldn't go mad for it. Any other suggestions?) - nice but I cant get excited by it

Oliver - boring
Aaron - like also like spelling Aran or Arran after the islands
Isaac - not keen
Matthew - dated but nice
Francis - like this
Connor - not keen
Reuben - like
Rory - my favourite as it's my sons name

I would choose Louisa Marianne or Alexandra, not 100% sure for boys

Boys

Oliver - Great name. I know it's popular, and what I said about Ava, but I'm being hypocritical here. Can't go wrong with it as a name.
Aaron - Bit common imo now. Not a huge fan.
Isaac - Good name. Classic. Favourite on the list.
Matthew - Good strong boys name. Will never go out of fashion. Second favourite.
Francis - No. Old man name. Dislike intensely.
Connor - Not a fan.
Reuben - Eeeeeeehhhhh. Not a name I would personally pick. It's an ok name though.
Rory - Too cutesy. I really don't like it.
