I am not pregnant yet and probably wont be for another year but I want to have a list that I can refer back to. So I will mention the ones I like and the ones I dislike will be left out and then can compare it to my partners list.

I am fairly fussy with what names I like. My daughters name is Hollie so want something that wont clash with that. Their surname will begin with a Y so equally not something that will clash with that either.

If I was to say what kind of names I like I'd say for girls I like feminine but not overly cutesy names. For boys I like classic, strong names that don't sound like old men.

Thanks for your input. I know it sounds very premature (yes, it is) but I am a bit anal about things like this.

Thanks :)

Oscar - nice name but it's my cousins name so naturally that's out, though of course fine for a middle name. We were thinking for a boy though Gregory or Charles as a middle name.
Carla - nice
Lois - don't like
Carys - nice but maybe very Welsh?
Alexandra/Alexa - nice actually also like Alexis.
Georgia - nice
Fraser - OK
Nicolas - OK
Gregory - See above. Plus also very personal for our family, so likely to be a middle name or even one of 2.
Matthew - Love Matthew but my partners brother is Matthew.
Lawrence - OK
Anna - very pretty, like it.
Mary - nice for middle name, but it's my grandmothers first name.
Emily - quite nice.
James - quite plain but OK
Vincent - OK
Patrick - OK
