All 0/10 except Seren 6/10.

I contradicted myself. Caspian and Caspar both nice, but Caspar loses marks because of the misspelling potential.

Aurelia is the best of the girl's names but I don't like it much - too similar to Amelia, Oreelia/Owrailya/Oraylia ...

Asher - brimful of. Not keen
Caspar - ok, will get spelt Casper, Kasper and Kaspar
Caspian - sea. Like
Idris - gaining popularity with the welsh and muslim communities
Judah - too similar to Judas

Arietta - 'Arry ate a
Aurelia - bit too frilly. Different ways of saying it
Eadlin/Eadlyn - not seen or heard it before. I'd probably hear it as Evelyn (eev-lin)
River - I'd think she was a boy
Seren - don't like it

Caspian is the clear winner of the boys' names, Caspar a close second
I don't like any of the girl's names

0 to 3 out of 10 for all of them except Seren, sorry.

I'd give Seren a 5 out of 10.

I have an Asher, so I'm biased! Can't say I'm keen on any of the others though.

SummerBummers · 19/10/2022 19:47

I don’t really like any of them, sorry. On the whole they’re all a bit try hard.

Only Caspar and Aurelia. I won’t pass comment on the rest.

With Idris, people may presume you are a massive fan of the actor. When asking your son what his name is, the reply is likely to be “Like Elba?” It will become tedious for him.

Asher - 7/10 super cute
Caspar -8/10 great choice but I prefer with a K
Caspian - 9/10 I’ve always loved this! DS1 had a Caspian in his year and it’s just lovely:
Idris - 9/10 always loves this. Makes me think of happy times in wales growing up
Judah - 5/10 lovely name and I like I to one of the lesser used biblical ones but I’m not fond of Jude which would be an obvious NN

Arietta - 9/10 cute and unusual
Aurelia - 4/10 just not a fan. Lots of girls called this where we live, not bothered by popularity just don’t like it the more I hear it
Eadlin/Eadlyn - 2/10
River 5/10 - cute but most rivers I’ve met are boys so I always think it’s a boys name
Seren - 9/10 such a great choice. Timeless
