I like Ivy and Beau the best.
Bodhi or Remi are nice. I was at school with a girl called Beau and thought it was cool (was jealous Grin)

Jasmine and Maximilian both stand out to me as by far the best names.
( WTF is Gower about?)

Luredbyapomegranate · 15/12/2021 06:57

Robin - love it
Ruby - like it, bit overused.

Rosie - way overused. Twee as a full name
Ivy - lovely but overused
Ava - way overused.
Jasmine - nice, getting popular
Ada - I don’t like it as harsh, but now very popular
Mary - nice underused classic
Nora - I hate it, Honor instead?

Rex - name for a dog/downmarket
Otto - getting popular, but makes me think Nazis
Albert - way overused
Maximilian - great
Gower - what?! No - sounds like Glower
Henry - nice but way overused.
Rafi - not a full name, but Raphael nn Rafi is nice
Rafiq - odd unless it’s part of your heritage
Beau - quite like it
Gene - hate it. Also associate with naughty boys

I think all the names are nice. I like Nori better than Nora.

Mumofgirls2017 · 15/12/2021 06:54

Favourites are Ivy, Nora, Ada and Rosie for girls abs Henry, Rex, Otto and Albert for boys.

Think Mary is nice and will be unusual but will also seem v dated and not ready for comeback. Jasmine, Ruby and Robyn (prefer spelling) are fine but I’d say are about to date fast. I’m not too familiar with Rafi or Rafiq but may be from different culture. I’m not keen on Gower at all. Others are ok.
