Far too many to comment on. Some of them are nice, some are awful. Jace for example, please don't.

I like Nathan from your boy list.

I like Annie, Elise, India, Georgina, Rosa and Tara from the girl list.

Least favourite boy names are Ashton, Cade, Camden (as in Camden in London?) and Jace.

Least favourite girl names are Acacia, Carys and Hallie (makes me think of halitosis).

AuntieStella · 03/06/2017 21:54

My thoughts/associations:

Alfie - like, but prefer as nn not standalone
Ashton - too surnames for me. How about Ashley?
Cade - don't like
Camden - a borough, not a person
Cole - Old King.....
Ethan - like
George - like
Harvey - like
Jace - don't like, other than as nn for Jason
Jordan - ok
Liam - like
Lucas - like
Nathan - lovely
Oliver - like
Reagan - Shakespearean girls name, and a shitty character to boot
Reece - don't like, but a perfectly ok name
Tristan - like a bit

Acacia - Avenue
Alexa - new online service, wouldn't right now just in case
Annie - ok, but prefer as as nn
Carys - ok
Chelsea - rather unfashionable, in the wrong sort of way
Chloe - ok
Elise - like
Elodie - like
Georgina - lovely
Hallie - prefer speaking Halle
India - ok
Leah - ok
Lucinda - lovely
Madison - Square Gardens, too clunky
Rosa - lovely
Roseanne - ok
Sabrina - lovely (but witchy)
Selena - like
Summer - ok
Tamsin - ok
Tara - maybe ok
Tia - Maria
Vanessa - lovely

17caterpillars1mouse · 03/06/2017 22:03

Alfie - it's ok as a nn for Alfred but I don't like it as a stand-alone name

Ashton - dislike it. I just think Ashton Kutcher

Cade - meh it's just a bit blah. I prefer Cain which is similar

Camden - hope don't like this either sorry

Cole - I really like Cole even more if it's a nn for Nicholas. I once her a Kohl which is erm... interesting

Ethan - I want to like it but I just don't

George - nice but they are everywhere

Harvey - it's ok

Jace - no

Jordan - seems a bit dated to the 1980's to me

Liam - nice as a nn for William

Lucas - lovely and not overused

Nathan - I like it

Oliver - we know so many baby Oliver's

Reagan - too American politics for me

Reece - it seems like a 'naughty boy' name. Rhys is a better spelling

Tristan - nice though I prefer Tristram

Acacia - nope don't like

Alexa - I like but now people will just think of the Amazon product

Annie - love but prefer as a nn (Anneliese, Annabel, Rhiannan, Anwen)

Carys - nice enough

Chelsea - dated like Jordan

Chloe - I like as a nn for Clotilde

Elise - pretty

Elodie - nice but not my style

Georgina -love

Hallie - ok
India - dislike
Leah - a pretty classic

Lucinda - prefer just Lucy

Madison - eurgh

Rosa - gorgeous

Roseanne - lovely

Sabrina - love it but please not with a brother Harvey

Selena - pretty
Summer - nice but always think it won't age well

Tamsin - pretty and underused

Tara - nice though I prefer other ara names more (Lara and Zara)

Tia - Maria

Vanessa - lovely and classy

dotdotdotmustdash · 03/06/2017 23:40

How about Alexia instead of Alexa? I was at school with an Alexia and she was very cool. Leah is my Dd's name, it doesn't mean 'tired eyes' as another poster mentioned - it isn't clear where it originated but it can mean 'weary' but it's more commonly translated as 'Mistress' or 'Ruler'.

Of your boy's names my favourite is Cole.

BewareOfTheToddler · 03/06/2017 23:47

Of your boys names, I like George, Lucas and Tristan - you definitely don't hear the latter very often.

Of the girls names, I love Elodie and really like Leah - also rather like Tamsin, which strikes me as having a similar "feel" to Tristan (unusual) - but might be just me!

felizsun · 04/06/2017 00:57

i love acacia
and cole
