I know a surprising amount of little Freyas so despite liking it I would give it a miss.

Nigel is just wrong. Don't care for Sac either.

I prefer the girls to the boys list personally!! Lots of the girls names are nice like Anastasia and Juliana. Nigel and Quincy Hmm just trying too hard Grin

I did massively raise my eyebrows at Sac!!

survivingspring · 23/03/2012 10:08

I quite like Sac - thought it might go with my unusual surname 'Ospuds'..

PercyFilth · 23/03/2012 10:28

I used to know a Jordi. It's the Catalan version of George and is pronounced Geordie (not Yordi). That used to trip a lot of people up :o

cakeismysaviour · 23/03/2012 13:28

Ok, I have my narky head on today so I will be a bitch quite harsh...

Girls:

Maddy - Not a name, its a nickname.
Isis - Can't decide if its good or bad.
Alanah - Terrible
Poppy - OK
Isabella - Pretty, but boring
Freya - Nice
Imogen - OK
Zaiya - Not for me
Molly - Really terrible
Murphy - One of the worst girls names I have ever heard
Arabella - Pretentious
Francesca - Nice
Juliana - Awful
Gia - Ok, on a child of Italian background
Maya - Crap
Lola - Crap
Anastasia - Bad, bad, bad
Nico - No
Jasmine - Ok
(all aged 4-9yrs)

Boys:
Quincy - Very, very bad
Joshua - Ok
Zac - Ok as a nickname only
Nasario - Ok
Fabian - No
Dylan - Might use for a dog
Michael - No
Cody - Terrible
Noah - Good
Jordi - Crap
Jaiden - Really crap
Stan - Nickname
Ellis - Bad
Charlie - Nickname... Its Charles, CHARLES
Aiden - Ok
Nigel - A name that should be consigned to history, never to be heard again.
(4-10yrs)

My verdict - a very poor selection of names.

See, I told you I was narky.

QZ · 23/03/2012 14:21

I think perhaps they had a lot of American models this season?

TuesdayNightClub · 23/03/2012 15:49

What cake said, other than Michael which I am fond of with the right surname and brothers called Gabriel and Raphael

LucyManga · 23/03/2012 15:58

I love Isis, Gia, Francesca and Anastasia. The rest are vanilla.

CheshireDing · 23/03/2012 19:32

God I have a Poppy Arabella, what does it mean that it's in the Boden catalogue? I thought that was clothes Hmm

Clearly am not pretentious enough to know about Boden

Cydonia · 23/03/2012 21:11

Glad I'm not the only one wondering what a 'Boden name' is ....

thegreylady · 23/03/2012 22:13

Laurence Olivier had a grand daughter named Isis I love it-it is the name of the Thames as it flows through Oxford

Mostly prety unimaginaitive everyday names - the type that most people love on here. A few exceptions though and a few are (hopefully nicnames) apart from that it's the same old vanilla rubbish that boden does so well.
