For a girl, What do you think of:

Boys:
Campbell
Xander
Hudson
Cooper

Girls:
Paisley
Zaria
Payton
Harper - too Beckham?

Any other suggestions?

If you are coming on to tell me how awful a name Addison is, too late! She's 3 now and suits it perfectly so clearly we have different tastes Wink

Love all the boys, don't like any of the girls sorry. Especially Paisley. Do you want more / alternatives / just opinions?

What about Fraser for a boy?

ChristineDaae · 20/07/2013 10:55

Yep all suggestions welcome!!

Mackenzie
Quinn
Leigh
Lauren (not sure that fits your brief but just thought I'd throw it in there)

Do you like Eve? Eva or Ava

badtime · 20/07/2013 12:16

Paisley is dreadful (I am from NI, so the name has certain associations for me).

xyla · 20/07/2013 13:07

Tenley
Austin

I know a lovely 16 year old girl called Tate. Is that the style you are after ?

Thumbwitch · 20/07/2013 13:18

NOT Cooper, unless you are THAT big a fan of Private Practice.

Other boy names are fine though, and I also like Fraser.

Paisley and Payton are horrible names, IMO. I don't mind Addison but I can't cope with those two.

Harper - well, Harper Lee predates the Beckhams by a LOT so no issue with that.

ZolaBuddleia · 20/07/2013 15:05

I like all your boy choices, but not inspired by the girls.

Avery?
Greta?
Greer?
Wren?

Wishfulmakeupping · 20/07/2013 15:07

Parker or carter for a boy?

GirlWithTheDirtyShirt · 20/07/2013 15:11

I like Payton and love Harper. I also like Estée.

I think boys names are much more difficult. I quite like Xander. I'd probably go with Sebastian.

ChristineDaae · 20/07/2013 18:01

I LOVE Avery but would be way too greys anatomy! Never watched private practice...I assume there's a cooper?
I like Tate but seems like a boys name?

Tate can be short for Tatiana.

Your names:
Boys -
Campbell -- I prefer Cameron to Campbell.
'Camp' is too tempting to wags even though it's not pronounced that way.
Xander -- dislike. Sounds a bit precious. I knew an Alexandra who called herself Xan. She was a bit up herself.
Hudson -- not bad. Hudson river valley is gorgeous.
Cooper -- I know a doberman mix named Cooper but known affectionately as Pooper. I think the rhyme would suggest itself to other boys in school too.

Girls -
Paisley -- Not bad and would go with Addison.
Zaria -- not bad but a bit frilly/girly with Addison.
Payton -- I really dislike this name but would go with Addison.
Harper - I really dislike this name but would go with Addison.

Suggestions:
Girls:

Elliott
Ellison
Everly
Emerson
Emery

Hayden
Harleigh
Sydney

Taylor
Bellamy
Haven

Kendall
McKinley
Maclaren
Kennedy
Tierney
Delaney
Quinn

Boys:

MortifiedAdams · 20/07/2013 20:11

I know an Addison whose brother is Robbie.

ChristineDaae · 20/07/2013 21:39

Math I like a lot of names on your lists! Quite a few on there that we scrubbed for particular reasons but a few we haven't thought of

Aubrey/Aubree for a girl?

Thumbwitch · 21/07/2013 01:05

ChristineDaae - yes there is an Addison and a Cooper in Private Practice. (If you're a Grey's Anatomy fan, how is it you've never watched PP as well? It's a spin off - despite everyone sleeping with everyone else in it, I quite like it :) )

manicinsomniac · 21/07/2013 01:53

I like all your suggestions except for Paisley.

They've already been suggested but my immediate thoughts for another girl were Avery, Kennedy, Kendall, Aubrey, Bailey, Taylor and Emery and for a boy, Parker, Austin and Carter.

Otherwise:

Boys:
Ashton, Caleb, Cory, Jesse, Tyler, Phoenix, Maddox, Mason, Porter, Preston

Girls:
Adalyn, Aubrey, Brooklynn, Briley, Brynn, Cleo, Dakota, Farryn, Falon, Genesis, Gracelyn, Jordan, Jayla, Jada, Jazzlyn, Kayla, Kendra, Kenzie, Madison, Morgan, Piper, Payson, Rowan, Reagan, Riley, Reese, Sutton.

sleepingbeautiful · 21/07/2013 05:57

Hudson and Harper are the best of your list.
Paisley is absolutely awful. Why would you want to be named after an ugly pattern?

Eastpoint · 21/07/2013 06:11

Piper - girl

Boy
Lyon
Sloan
Walker
Mitchell
