Girls - I'd go for Anna or Lucy. Like Orla too. Molly and Mia are over-used. Use Georgia not Georgie.

Boys - Not too keen on your boy's names except for Jude and Rhys.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/08/2012 15:48

Anna or Jude - don't like any of the others, sorry, other than cameron but wouldn't use that because of old pork face.

Littlecherublegs · 08/08/2012 15:55

Like Anna, Mia and Georgie (though prefer Georgia) for girls

Like Rhys and Harris for boys

My favs would be Anna and Harris - lovely!

Sirzy · 08/08/2012 15:59

Pheobe, Anna or Lucy for girls

Only really like Rhys from the boys list

BonaDea · 08/08/2012 16:35

I'm a big fan for Ruaridh, but we live south of the border so I'm worried no one will be able to pronounce it!

VolAuVent · 08/08/2012 16:36

Phoebe, Anna or Lucy for a girl; all lovely classic names.

Ruaridh, Cameron or Jude for a boy.

TenthMuse · 08/08/2012 18:45

Girls - Keep Phoebe, Anna and Orla

Lucy OK but massively overused. Would ditch Molly, Georgie and Mia

Boys - Keep Jude, Euan and Fraser

Would personally choose either Anna or Phoebe and Jude (I'm in London with no Scottish connections, so some of the others would sound a bit odd!)

manicinsomniac · 08/08/2012 18:47

Anna - lovely
Lucy - like it
Molly - like it
Georgie - lovely but as a nn for Georgina
Orla - like it
Mia - it's ok

Ruaridh -it's ok
Cameron - like it

I would go for Anna or Georgina and Harris or Fraser I think

AndWhenYouGetThere · 08/08/2012 19:11

Phoebe - keep
Anna - lovely - my favourite for a girl
Lucy - okay but popular
Molly - not as nice as the rest of your list
Georgie - lovely as a nn Georgia/Georgina/Georgiana
Orla - not as nice as the rest of your list
Mia - not as nice as the rest of your list

Ruaridh - not sure on pronunciation - Rory?
Cameron - a bit too PM for me
Campbell - too many isabel/annabel's have spoilt the bell ending for a boy for me.
Rhys - like
Jude - really like
Euan - really love this - my favourite for a boy
Harris - lovely, very cool
Fraser - like it

Ruaridh - ok
Cameron - ok
Campbell - horrid
