Have we done this before?
Please add one girl and one boy name to the list - one that is always bound to be loved on Mumsnet.
No Gracie-Maes or Kaydens here thank you.

Ok I will begin.

I can't believe two of you said Ptolemy.
That would get such a pasting here!
You are both being silly.

What about Frederick? In Real Life, I always get a Hmm face when I tell people that my Freddie is actually named Frederick, but everyone on Mumsnet seems to love it!

There was once an entire thread devoted to slamming Persephone Hugless

Ummm, trying to think - there's always someone who doesn't like most names!
Too popular, too 'out there', too posh, too 'chavvy', too naughty, too boring, too 'try hard', too safe, too w,x,y and z!

How about .... Isaac and Amy

Seren and Meredith aren't "MN" names, they're just Welsh names Confused

I like a fair few of the names listed. Rocking at the idea that Oliver is a "Mn name" aka middle and up themselves name though. Ditto Harry and indeed a fair few others.

Ottilie and Elodie are the most often mentioned yet never seen in real life names I have come across on Mn
