Thoughts on my name list

I love Hector! Not sure about girls names...

I much prefer your girls names. I like Juliet and Diana best.
I think August and Gideon are awful.
The only one of your boys names I like is Patrick.

I like them all except August.

I like August and Juliet best. Alice is popular.

Girls:
Alice - I like this. It's popular. But it's classic and pretty and strong. Popular for a good reason
Diana - not sure this is due a revival yet. It's just Princess Diana to me
Juliet - I like this and much prefer this spelling to the other.
Marina - I can't bear this. It just reminds me of a harbour.
Vita - it's ok. Not really my style but it's not horrible.
Boys:
August - I like this.
Gideon - I like this
Hector - I LOVE this
Patrick - don't like this at all, feels very dull and 80s

I would love to hear any thoughts on other names which might appeal, especially for boys. For context, these are some of the names I like that he doesn’t:
Girls:
Polly - gorgeous, so refreshing after a million Holly and Mollys
Valentina - a bit fussy for me
Boys:
Lysander - don't like this, I like Shakespeare but this is ott
Robin - too girly. I can't see Robin on a boy any more

And some names he likes that I don’t/ think are too popular:
Girls:
Holly - boring
Lily - boring
Boys:
Dylan - boring
Flynn - I really like this and I don't think it's too popular. There are a lot of Finns / Fins though!

Out of all the lists I would pick Juliet or Polly and Hector or Flynn.

Other ideas:

Girls:
Eloise
Aria
Sienna

Boys:
Theodore
Laurence
Solomon

I like Vita and Diana from your girls list, and LOVE August (nn Gus is adorable!) and Hector from your boys.

I love Valentina and it was a strong contender until I told my parents and mum kept saying "Valentino" and now it's completely put me off!

Harriet, Jemima, Verity, Adelaide

Henry, Neil, Owen, Kevin

Not on your list but how about Victor?

Alice - like it a lot
Diana - Yes. Do it.
Juliet - ok. Not keen on Jools. A bit too linked with Romeo?
Marina - yes
Vita - makes me think of Ryvita

Boys:
August - no
Gideon - no
Hector - What the Hec, it's better than the previous two
Patrick - really like it

Girls:
Polly - like it a lot
Valentina - no
Boys:
Lysander - no
Robin - too many R names around at the moment

And some names he likes that I don’t/ think are too popular:
Girls:
Holly - nice but no
Lily - nice but no
Boys:
Dylan - dislike
Flynn - not keen

Patrick for a boy--it's such a nice solid name. I am not keen on your other boy choicesGideon is Giddy, Hector is another word for nag, and I would assume an August was a girl.

For girls, Marina and Juliet are the nicest. Alice is OK. Not sure about Diana. Vita makes me imagine a breakfast bar or nutritional supplement.

August is amazing

Girls:
Alice - it's nice enough, a little bland

Diana - pretty but very associated with the people's princess

Juliet- nice enough, just not my style

Marina - I like it, pretty but unusual. Pretty sound

Vita - I quite like it, but prefer Marina

Boys:
August - I like it and like Auggie as a nn

Gideon - I like it. I used to know a lovely adult Gideon

Hector - it's OK, I've heard it a few times in the last few years - do you like Dexter, I think it has a similar vibe?

Patrick - love it, lovely classic name, not overly used. I know a gorgeous 4 year old Patrick

I love Marina! Hector and August are great too.

You might think I'm mad but could you compromise with Dylan for a girl? I love Dylan spelt that way for a girl and I have known of a few so it's not so out there

ILOVE August. Hate all girls names

I have a young hector and wherever we go we never meet any others with that name so it's not popular but people always love it. I'm tempted to say use it as long as ur not in London near me 😂😂

Oh and not keen on Lysander - but I do know a very lovely Leander (who goes by Leo).

Really lovely lists OP (apart from Gideon, which I must say is horrendous!) Love Vita and Alice - Vita was on our shortlist for DD and Alice is now one of her middle names (we decided it was just that bit too popular as a first name). Also like Juliet, and Holly is very pretty too.

Of your boys’ list August is the standout for me - great name.

Girls’ ideas:

Cleo
Sylvie
Greta
Etta
Miranda
Helena
Lucia
Hermione
Cora
Rosa
Gaia

Boys’ ideas:

Magnus
Torin
Stellan
Gustav
Laurie
Gabriel
Orson
