I like all of them but Stephen

I like Meg and Natalie from your girls and Sam and Max from your boys best.

Good lists!

Girls - all lovely. Juliet is my favourite
Boys - I like all of them except Ned

All lovely.,

I really like Stephen. I love short names in general but for some reason I don't like Steve.

Not a fan of Stephen and Martha but the rest are all lovely.

For a girl I would say Juliet or Meg
For a boy Max or Ned

Great lists!

Particularly like Martha & Elsa.
Natalie is nice though I don't like Nat.
Love Megan but dislike Meg.
Juliet is ok.

Love Zach!
Max is nice, Sam is ok, not keen on Stephen and really don't like Ned.

I like them all apart from Martha & Max. I've never liked the name Max and Martha I just can't warm to.

I really like Natalie & Juliet.

I don't like any of the boys names. Ned is a horse to me.

Don't like Meg or Natalie but really like Martha (actually love) and Elsa.

From your list I like Martha, Meg, Juliet, Sam and Max.

Girl - elsa, boy -ned

Elsa or Ned.. fabulous names!!

Love Juliet, Martha, Meg, Max, Ned, Zach. A bit lukewarm on the others....

Love Martha and Zach best

Love Martha.

Love Ned but only as a nn.

Juliet and Max for me.

I have a Meg!! Bloody love it.

We had Max and Travis for our boys names so hapoy to say to you:

Meg or Max

Martha and Max are my favourites from your lists

My parents were all set on calling me Stephen back in 1970. Not heard of many babies with the name nowadays, which could be a good thing.

Juliet is my favourite girls name off your list, followed by Meg & then Martha.

Ned, Zach & Max are my favourites from your boys list in that order.

Thanks everyone, especially to those who said great lists
