Juliet

Erin
Daisy
Rosie

Rowan

Thank you

Juliet - Boring
Freya - It's ok
Maria - Only if you have Latin heritage
Erin - Very blah
Daisy - Love it!
Rosie - Love this one too

Rowan - Its ok, kind of feminine though
Finn - Nice
Alexander - Love it, but maybe too popular?
Jude - Would assume it was short for Judith

I really like Freya, Alexander and Finn.
Not a fan of Erin, Maria or Juliet, they seem very dated to me. Daisy and Rosie are ok but a bit cutesy.
Rowan is ok but there seems to be a lot of talk about it on here so I suspect it could be really popular in that age group. I really dislike Jude.

Agree, I like Jude a lot but there is another in the family which puts me off a little bit.

I love Daisy :)

My top 2 boy names from that list are Alexander Jude :) both great names! If I had to choose one, it would probably be Jude! I feel it suits both a little child, to a full grown adult!
