Hi everyone Smile
We’re not sure if we’re going to have a boy or girl yet. I’d love some feedback on our final baby name list- or if you have any suggestions to add. I like slightly more unusual names (literary or a bit hippy vibe) and dh is drawn to the popular top 20 type names but doesn’t like that they’re so popular Hmm
so we’re trying to find a compromise lol Grin

Girls:
Juliet
Aurelia
Stevie
Frida
Lara
Silver

Boys:
Jude
Caspian
Evan
Ernest (nickname Ernie)

I don't usually like boys names for girls, but due to the great Stevie Nicks, I think it is lovely. Frida is a bit marmite for me; today I like it. Juliet is ok. Don't like the others.
Caspian is ok. Don't like the others.

I like Lara and Evan the best.

Whatalottachocca · 13/03/2021 11:15

Aurelia and Jude. (Though actually, I really prefer Aurelie).

Odile13 · 13/03/2021 11:14

I like Juliet and Frida / Jude and Evan

LolaNova · 13/03/2021 11:13

Caspian! Not Cassias!

LolaNova · 13/03/2021 11:13

I LOVE Stevie and Frida! Utterly gorgeous! Aurelia and Juliet are pretty too. I’m less keen on Lara and Silver. I did know a girl called Silva once and it really suited her.

Your boys names are all great. Cassias and Ernest are particular favourites of mine.

Girls:
Juliet - love, was on our DD shortlist
Aurelia - too princessy for me
Stevie - seems like a nickname
Frida - makes me think of cows for some reason!
Lara - fine, don’t love it
Silver - too out there for me

Boys:
Jude - love but prefer as a nickname for Julian
Caspian - ooh, like it but bold
Evan - love
Ernest (nickname Ernie) - bit too trendy for me with the ‘old man name’ fashion

My daughter is Lara so obviously that's my top girl's name. From your list I like Jude best for a boy

Ithinkhedidit · 13/03/2021 11:11

I like Juliet. How about Sylvie? Absolutely love Ernest! On my shortlist if we ever have another boy.

Diamondella · 13/03/2021 11:10

For me, Juliet and Evan are way way way more favorable than any of the other choices, both great names.

IstandwithJackieWeaver · 13/03/2021 11:09

Juliet and Lara. Don't like any of the boys' names.

TheBusiness · 13/03/2021 11:08

I like Juliet and Evan.

EvilOnion · 13/03/2021 11:08

I like Juliet and Lara for girl.

I like Evan for a boy.

Stevie is nice for both :)
