Score out of ten!

Penelope - 6/10 nice name I also think Penny is quite cute. I’ve only ever looked after one, I used to say her name like envelope to make her laugh.
Elizabeth - 6/10 nice, lots of options.
Clementine - 4/10. I know there’s nothing wrong with this name but I hate it.
Hermione - 5/10 I actually like it but I’d just assume the person was a huge Harry Potter fan. I am a Harry Potter fan but I always find it a bit cringe when people use their kids to advertise their favourite fandoms. I realise it’s a classic name etc but it’s just so so linked with Harry Potter that it would be most people’s first thought.
Phoebe - 5/10 it’s okay.
Madeline - 6/10 I like it, would probably be called Maddie.
Zoey - 4/10 I just think it’s a bit blah compared to a lot of your choices.
Felicity - 8/10 so nice. Reminds me of a Malory towers girl!
Beatrice - 9/10 I really like Beatrice.

Toby - 7/10 nice friendly name
Digby - 2/10 feels like he’d wear short trousers and say ‘yah’ before every sentence.
Lochlan - 4/10. It’s ok.
James - 6/10 decent name nothing really to say about it though. Like a safe choice.
Oscar - 3/10 I don’t like it but I don’t really know why.
Charles - 7/10 nice name, I like Charlie too.
Zachary - 8/10 I like Zac for short, I’ve only ever looked after one Zachary and he was lovely.
Maxwell - 8/10 nice, I like Max too. Friendly name.
James - lol I guess I’ll give it an extra point if you like it enough to put it twice.
Caspian - see Hermione.

Phoebe, Beatrice, Zachary, Caspian.

Don’t like the rest.

I love Madeline, and Zoe (without the 'y') and I also like Phoebe, Clementine and Elizabeth (very classic).

For boys I really like James and Zachary, and Caspian is maybe OK. Toby is a bit of a dogs' name and Digby is definitely a dogs' name (isn't there a cartoon Old English sheepdog called this?). Charles, well sounds a bit pretentious (although Charlie is cute) and reminds me of the prince, I don't like him. Lochlan, very Australian somehow (is it Rupert Murdoch's son?). Maxwell - coffee. Just Max is nice though.

Penelope - 6, ok and I know some nice Pennys
Elizabeth - 10. Love it, but it would get shortened
Clementine - 1 Clammy sounding and too fruity
Hermione - 3 too Harry Potter, too long
Phoebe - 6 nice but gets misspelt a lot, don't like Phoebs
Madeline - 7 - I don't like Maddy/Maddie/Mads
Zoey - 0. Zoe is nice Zoey is not
Felicity - 4. Nice meaning but too long and prissy
Beatrice - 6 - ok

Toby - 6 - ok
Digby - 1 - dog's name
Lochlan - 1. Lachlan is much nicer but not all can say ch
James - 9 - Love it but doesn't go with all surnames. Not keen on Jim
Oscar - 3 - ok for a pet
Charles - 9 - like it and Chas/Charlie
Zachary - 6 - too popular but I like it
Maxwell - 4, I like Max but Maxwell is a surname
Caspian - 5, a bit too unusual and too CS Lewis

Penelope - 7/10

Girls - we obviously have really different taste in girls names (but similar in boys names) so do take this with a pinch of salt
Penelope - 4 - for some reason I just have never liked the name and find it a bit drippy
Elizabeth - 8 - lots of great nn choices, I like Libby
Clementine - 4 - just too frilly - and orangey - for me
Hermione - 3 - I don't know, I just find it quite annoying as a name, possibly because I find the HP character quite annoying, and also it makes me think of hermaphrodite
Phoebe - 4 - Same as Penelope
Madeline - 5
Zoey - 4
Felicity -7 - nice meaning
Beatrice -7

Boys
Toby -10 -Love it
Digby - 3 -it sounds like an Edwardian lounge lizard with a moustache
Lochlan 7 - I prefer Lachlan, I didn't realise it could also be spelt
James - 10 - excellent name!
Oscar - 7 - OK, I find it a bit meh because I know quite a few
Charles - 8
Zachary -7
Maxwell - 5 - I'm afraid it just says instant coffee/ sex offender to me
Caspian - 6 - I do like it but it is too fantasy-land/ Narnia for me, like naming a child Aragorn or Aslan

Clementine - 6 Love as a full name and like nickname Minnie (the Clementine I know is a Minnie) but don't love Clem/my.
