Susannah “Suki” or “Zuzu” - Love Susannah with nn Suki, such a happy name.

Eve “Evie” - Done to death.

Felicity “Flick” - Like Felicity but prefer nicknames Flo, Fliss or Cici. Don't like Flick at all.

Flora - Love. Has a really sweet, retro but also fresh feel.

June - very pretty and still rare as a first name.

May - No, done to death

Louisa - Pretty.

Marianne - Pretty.

Heidi - A bit trendy and cutesy and dull

Caroline - Pretty and underused. Love nickname Carrie

Juliet “Jules” - Like Juliet, dislike Jules

Violet - Pretty but bit overdone now

Lily - Done to death

Elizabeth “Eliza” - pretty, but very popular

Marielle (prn. “Mary-Elle”) - This isn't how most people pronounce this - it's usually said "Mari-Elle". I think both are too frilly but especially dislike "Mary-Elle"

Tessa “Tess” - love this! So sweet and fresh

Zara - a little bland but also so pretty it almost doesn't matter

Rose - a little bland but also so pretty it almost doesn't matter

Margot/Margaux - used to love, but it's got so popular so quickly. I'm afraid it will date badly

Nadia - don't like

Natalie - It's pretty but a bit dated

Sylvie - Pretty but trendy, but prefer Sylvia

Diana - Dated and too linked to the princess. Would assume you were a superfan

Dahlia (prn. “Doll-ee-yah”) - This isn't how it's pronounced, and nobody will say it like this. So a hard no.

Charlotte - pretty but a little dull

Boys:

Miles - nice

Christopher “Kit” - nice

Robin - nice

James “Jamie” - James is nice but prefer Jim/Jimmy as a nickname. Jamie is boring

Griffin - Dislike. Reminds me of ugly things and/or monsters.

From the girl's list, I like and would shortlist:
Susannah, Flora, Zara, Rose, Juliet, Tessa, Caroline, and Marianne

I'd keep as middle name options:
June, Elizabeth/Eliza, Sylvie, Louisa

I'd lose the others.

I like and would use all the boy names except Griffin which I think is really ugly. I also hate Jamie but like James. My favourite names from the boy's list are Miles and Christopher.
