Love Kit and Miles. James/Jamie is ok but prefer William/Wilf/Billy.
Do you like Willa for a girl?
Susannah “Suki” or “Zuzu” - both nicknames urgh. Susie would be cute and retro these days.
Eve “Evie” - boring, overdone
Felicity “Flick” - very jolly hockeysticks and makes me think of a redhead with thunderthighs
Flora - margarine
June - permatanned wrinkly old lady. Unless actually born in June. In which case, cute.
May - boring unless (see June)
Louisa - horsey, hard woman to hounds, no nonsense but not pretty
Marianne - Dashwood, always. Wibble.
Heidi - just no. Lonely goatherd.
Caroline - I went through a hormonal pregnancy phase of loving this name as the feminisation of Charles. Might be due a revival. NN “Caz” tho?
Juliet “Jules” - yes very posh. Stress on the Ju to be really poshest - not the et. Its JOO-liet, not Julie-ET
Violet - love it even if association of lavender smelling old ladies. Can’t help seeing “violent” when written down tho.
Lily - boring, wet
Elizabeth “Eliza” - nice, posh enough, boring tho
Marielle (prn. “Mary-Elle”) - are you American? No one English would pronounce it that way, it’d be Marry-Elle. Don’t give your child any name they would constantly have to correct others on how to spell or say.
Tessa “Tess” - it’s ok, I think it’s a bit of a Beverly or Elaine (retro but not cool)
Zara - gorge, apart from the shop associations
Rose - lovely
Nadia - edgy and cool, lovely
Natalie - bit 80s. I love Nat for either gender tho.
Sylvie - see Tess
Diana - see Tess (another one I hormonally liked)
Dahlia (prn. “Doll-ee-yah”) - English pronunciation more likely to be “Dah-Lee-ya” or even “day-Lee-ya”
Charlotte - it’s ok. It’s not my fav. Do you like the nn Charlie?
