Please be honest! :)

Please help my husband and I - we are so undecided! The baby is due in 5 weeks and we're still no nearer! All go with our surname and the initials wouldn't spell anything ridiculous! Do you like / dislike any of the following?:

GIRLS
Hazel
Amber
Robyn
Holly
Rosa
Rowan

BOYS
Rex
Leo
Max
Rory
Ralph

Love love love Rex!

Hazel and Rosa are lovely from your girls list!

Did I mention I love Rex?!

Of the girls I like Amber and Robyn the best. Robyn was on short list for my nearly 2 week old. We would have gone for Robin though. (I have a recent thread on this choice!)

Boys - I really love Ralph! Not keen on Rory and think all the others are nice enough.

Love Hazel - very underused nowadays!

Have you considered Rowena as an alternative to Rowan? Also very underused nowadays.

I like Leo and Ralph too.

Hazel and Rory

I really like Hazel, Amber and Rowab for girl and Rory for boy. Not keen on the rest.

Rowan obviously not Rowab!

Rex - dog (and yes, I'm aware loads of dogs now are Milo and Charlie etc. Still feels Labrador-y to me!)
Ralph - bit wet sounding
Max - meh, again a bit doggy.
Rory - grand
Leo - also grand

Hazel - lovely
Amber - ehh no. I find it a tiny bit strippery or something.
Robyn - nothing wrong with it...I don't like it thiugh and I can't quite put my finger on why
Rosa - gorgeous
Holly - fine
Rowan - really don't like

To be very honest with you, as a teacher I find the current trend of -y and -ie names makes them all seem a bit insipid and blend into one another (the names that is, not the children). Milly, Molly, Lily, Sophie, Rosie etc. So personally I wouldn't choose a name along those lines.

I like Rowan and Holly best from the girls.

I like all of the boys names except Ralph.

My favourites are Holly and Rory :)
