Love Hector and Alexandra!

How about Adelaide, Dorothea, Douglas or Harris?

I love Lucy and Zara. I loathe Ivy, reminds me of Ivy Tisley from Corrie or a little old lady in a care home.

OP, if you really like the name Cora then I wouldn't be put off because your dog's name sounds similar. With the greatest of respect to your dog, Cora will be around a lot longer than the dog will - and how often are you going to be using their names in the same sentence anyway?

You can find potential issues with almost any name, but if you've found one that you really like I wouldn't be put off that easily. Just a thought

Hector - i really like but not sure i'd have the confidence to use it
Harvey - truly awful
Rex - only if you're naming a dog
Archie - too over-done a few years ago
Oliver - it's a sound name but popular
Luca - ok but merges into all the Lucas / Lewis / Louie type names
Maximilian - ok
Arnie - awful
Jacob - ok
Finley - nice but popular
Zachary - nice

Ivy - nice but feels very "of the moment" in terms of name trends
Emilia - ok
Sienna - not a fan
Phoebe - nice
Zara - nice
Lucy - nice
Lyra - awful
Elodie - awful
Pippa - ok
Alexandra - ok
Amelie - ok
Niamh - nice
Verity - nice
Cora - nice

Fave boys name from your list: Zachary. Girl: Sienna.

Rex, Jacob and zachary

ivy, Cora and lyra

I like Oliver, Luca and Finley, but they're all massively overused, really popular.

Not keen on Maximilian, Rex or Zachary. I just don't like the sound and they're all a bit doggy.

Archie is dull and overused.

Arnie as in Schwarzenegger? Definitely no.

I like Hector and Harvey and neither are massively popular.

Jacob would be my choice. Lovely.

Actually really like all the girl names. I have a Zara so I'm biased on that one but there are no others in her school/clubs so quite unique.
Boys - I like the last 4 in your list.

I like all of those names.

I have two boys whose names are on your list!

One of the girls names is my daughter's middle name!

Firstly, congratulations 😊

Boys:
Hector - not keen, not sure why!
Harvey - ok
Rex - like it but reminding me of Toy Story dinosaur!
Archie - cute.
Oliver - don’t like it, only because a boy in DD’s school is an Oliver and he’s naughty!
Luca - love it.
Maximilian - not too keen.
Arnie - Arnold Schwarz.. and so on!
Jacob - yes.
Finley - too cute maybe? Maybe won’t suit a 40 year old!
Zachary - Zac for short, ok.

Girls:
Ivy - cute.
Emilia - really cute.
Sienna - nice.
Phoebe - cute.
Zara - nice but not too keen.
Lucy - nice but again, not too keen.
Lyra - No
Elodie - Like it.
Pippa - No, knew a Pippa who wasn’t very nice!
Alexandra - No
Amelie - Yes
Niamh - too popular these days.
Verity - cute.
Cora - cute.

just my opinions!

Alexandra Cora

Oliver Luca or vv

Hector - Not for me
Harvey - Seems more like a surname
Rex - Is your child a dinasour??
Archie - It's okay, will get a lot of royal connotations
Oliver - It's fine but quite popular now and a bit plain
Luca - Lovely name
Maximilian - I love Max but not so much this as it's too long

Arnie - I actually quite like it
Jacob - Lovely
Finley - It's alright
Zachary - Quite nice

Girls:
Ivy - Gorgeous
Emilia - I like it but it'd get misspelt a ton and it's a bit plain
Sienna - I think it's nice enough
Phoebe - Lovely
Zara - I've never liked this makes me think of a shop
Lucy - Yes, this is so pretty
Lyra - Beautiful, one of my fav girls names
Elodie - Beautiful too
Pippa - This is so pretty
Alexandra - It's quite nice
Amelie - I love this
Niamh - Pretty too
Verity - It's nice but I'm not one for virtue names
Cora - Apples. Also don't do it considering your dog is Dora lol

Fav boy name would be Luca and I like Jacob+Zachary too. I love most of your girls names but favourite would be Lyra and then I adore Ivy, Phoebe, Lucy, Elodie and Pippa too.

Oh what a shame!
Yeah, it wouldn't be good to rhyme with the dog.
Choosing a name is so hard!

Hector & Niamh my faves from those!

My faves are Harvey and Rex and Lyra, Elodie and Cora (although prefer Cara).
