I love the name Aurora

Boys names, I like Noah best

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 26/08/2017 18:39

I like Rose, Willow, and Theo.

17caterpillars1mouse · 26/08/2017 19:14

I like

Rose - though prefer Rosalind or Rosalin

Isobel but this spelling or Isabel. I think it looks nicer with the simplier spellings

Ava

Saffron

Iris

From your girls Isobel is my favourite (it's my dd's middle name)

Boys I like:

Finn - maybe Finnish or Fintan for a longer name
Noah
Ezra - it's very of the moment though

Chaffinch4 · 26/08/2017 19:18

Rose or Iris are my favourites from your girls list.

Atticus is a fabulous name! Please use that if you have a boy.

Love Saffron. Actually really like herb/botanical names

early30smum · 26/08/2017 22:19

I love every name on both your lists with the exception of Spencer.

If I had to choose I'd pick Esme and Noah but really you can't go wrong with any of them!

Orangebird69 · 26/08/2017 22:21

Girls - Iris
Boys - Noah

I don't like any of the other options at all.

Jooni · 26/08/2017 22:23

Idris

HeteronormativeHaybales · 27/08/2017 00:28

Iris and Atticus are my favourites. I also like Aurora, but think the pre-ordained 'nickname' could go either way - it could be tremendously cute evolving into tremendously cool, or she could hate, loathe and detest it.

twinklestar2 · 27/08/2017 00:32

Ava and Noah

Sophronia · 27/08/2017 02:50

Rose and Ezra

MammieBear · 27/08/2017 08:51

Esmae and Atticus are my favourites as Esmae means beloved and Atticus for it having the heroic association of to kill a mocking bird.

CakeRattleandRoll · 27/08/2017 10:20

Esme, Iris and Theo are my favourites.

Liadain · 27/08/2017 12:29

Girls:
Rose - unusual as a first name, I like it. Also Rosalie or Rosanna?
Isabelle - nope. Its just a bit blah now - the Linda of the new generation.
Esme - very pretty
Ava - nah. I know you aren't concerned with popularity but you have much nicer options than this and Isabelle.
Saffron (nn Saffy) - lovely name.
Aurora (nn Rory) - no. Looks beautiful written down but imo the sound of the name isn't great and a bit overly disney princess.
Iris - meh.
Willow - beautiful name.

Boys:
Atticus - no.
Finn - it's ok. Fionn is similar, if that interested you.
Oliver - nah
Roman - nah
Noah - ok
Spencer - a bit surnamey for me
Ezra - love this one
Theo - ok but not great

I think my favourites are Rose, Ezra, Finn and Saffron.

grufallosfriend · 27/08/2017 15:01

Love Atticus and Aurora! Both beautiful classics that aren't overused. Great choices!

em0290 · 28/08/2017 11:22

Thanks all!x

Hi I really like the name Malachi but I was also thinking about Malachi-Ray. What are your opinions on this name??

Mrsknackered · 25/09/2017 13:19

Both my of my sons names are on your boys list and I had Saffron and Iris as top contenders if they were girls!
Rose, Saffron and Iris are my faves for girls
Roman, Ezra and Noah for boys.

As it would appear we have similar tastes we also had these on our lists:

Raphael
Soren
Axel
Otis
Jasper
Otto

Raya
Honor
Liberty
Manon
Mabli
