I love Elias and Ezra most. Both sound really good with Clarke.

Like Elena best from the girls' list.

Boys - I think George looks and sounds better with surname. Names with C in don't flow as well. Amelie for girl.

123Dancewithme · 29/06/2020 22:30

Henry Clarke sounds good.

I dislike George and Ralph with your surname. Ralph sounds a bit wet and George sounds very boring.

Erin's lovely.

I know the OP asked for rate and slate, but there's no need to be a complete wanker @ncqtime

I like Lucas and Lois the best from your lists.

Sooobooored · 29/06/2020 22:18

I just came on to also say I like them all except Ralph.

DramaAlpaca · 29/06/2020 22:18

All of the names on both lists are perfectly fine - with the exception of Ralph, which is truly awful. I'm not mad on Ezra either.

My favourites are probably Henry, Lucas & Jacob and Penelope, Lois and Erin.

I love them all except Ralph - my choices would be Ezra or Jacob, and Erin (my favourite underused, classic name that's not twee!).

ncqtime · 29/06/2020 22:12

What a load of meh. I presume you are a conventional sort. Ezra just makes me feel icky why is this name so popular?

sohelpmegod · 29/06/2020 22:12

Firstly, love ur asking peoples opinions! Of course it really doesnt matter as it's what you think but sometimes get some funny responses. My first bit of advice though would be to say it in whatever accent you hate the most and test the sound, and also think of any awful nicknames or having it shortened, see if u can live with the worst!

Love all tbe boys bar Ezra and Elias- sound pretty intense for a name, I don't know how else to explain that feeling, just intense, maybe reminds me of like biblical times I don't know?

Love all the girls name, really pretty! Lois, mega fan of that!!!

I think Jacob and Elias sound nicest with your last name (and less boring than the others)

For a girl, Amelie
