Opinions on these names please. DH and I can't agree!

DH and I can't agree! I've talked myself out of most of these! Finding this naming business really difficult.

Girl:

Orla
Evelyn
Ava
Emmeline

Boy:

Miles
Milo
Benjamin
Franklin

Thanks for all the replies :)

I'm not due until next summer, very exciting!

Emmeline is top for girls - I like the nn Emmy and Millie. I do worry about people hearing Emily though. Ava, Evelyn are now scrapped due to over-popularity. Orla is second to Emmeline.

Miles is top for boys - I like that Milo could be a nn.
Benjamin is scrapped - DH really doesn't like it.
Milo and Franklin are scrapped now (too childish/ trendy)

We need more names on our list - for 2nd choice and middle names!

I just came on to say that I have a Ben (not Benjamin) and have only come across two others throughout his time at school - he's 13 now - but I see you've scrapped the name.

I love the name Orla, it is becoming a little more popular though.

Other names are:

Charlotte
Rachel
Leah

Jacob
Seth
Sebastian

I really don't like Orla.

My favourites are Evelyn and Milo.

I really like Emmeline and Miles. I think Orla is going to get really popular, I think it's the new Isla.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, really interesting to read.

That's interesting about Orla gaining in popularity - I thought it was quite unusual. I expect Orla Kiely has something to do with it!

I like Jacob and Charlotte - thanks

I also like Evan and Ethan. Boys names are so difficult!

I like Evelyn and Ava and Benjamin and Milo from your lists.

I know an Emmeline who is Mina for short.
