Moominfan · 26/05/2018 23:16

Gabrielle and calvin

Lindah1 · 26/05/2018 23:16

I love Maeve and Gabriella, none of the boys names jump out at me

OliveOrTwist · 26/05/2018 23:17

Issac is on my shortlist Smile I love Rory too but unfortunately it doesn't work with our surname.

From your girls list, Emma.

Sophronia · 26/05/2018 23:25

Maeve, Rose and Miles are my favourites

ellalouise90 · 26/05/2018 23:37

Would you consider Rosa instead of just Rose? 💖
I love esme!
I love Rory!
I love Ezra!

LawDegreeBarbie · 26/05/2018 23:39

I like Emma and Erin for a girl and Ezra and Isaac for a boy.

Lucy - love it
Poppy - too 'weak' for me
Jasmine - beautiful
Rose - love it
Maeve - too 'old lady'
May - love it
Gabriella - too frilly
Emma - a bit boring
Esme - too trendy
Eva / Eve - lovely bit popular
Erin - ugly

Rory - hard to say
Max - a lot to live up to
Miles - posh
Casper - friendly ghost
Calvin - Klein
Teddy (Theodore) - too cute and popular
Jake - nice, solid name, quite popular
Noah - too trendy
Zachary - American to my ears
Ezra - very trendy
Isaac - nice

I like lots of your girls' names so if we have similar taste you may like
Olivia, Susannah, Maria?
My boys' names are very different though so I can't help there.

RavenWings · 26/05/2018 23:58

Girls:
Lucy - meh
Poppy - bit weak and wet
Jasmine - beautiful
Rose - I like it. Also like Rosa as a pp suggested.
Maeve - nice
May - rarely see this as a first name, it's always a filler middle. It's ok. I'm not wild about it.
Gabriella - nice. I'm not keen on anything Ella though, there's just too many of them.
Emma - meh
Esme - ok
Eva / Eve - noooo. Way too over used and bland.
Erin - name for Irish-Americans, no.

Boys:
Rory - ok
Max - no, boring
Miles - no
Casper - the friendly ghost.
Calvin - Klein. I do like it though!
Teddy (Theodore) - I like Teddy with Edward, not a Theodore fan at all.
Jake - fine
Noah - meh, bland and boring
Zachary - like this a lot
Ezra - like it a lot
Isaac - nice

userabcname · 27/05/2018 09:42

Gabriella and Noah are my favourites.

Frosty66612 · 27/05/2018 09:42

I like jasmine, rose and esme on the girls list. Lucy is quite nice too.
On the boys list I like Jake and Max

Tooteary · 27/05/2018 09:49

Gabrilelle is elegant, so much nicer than Gabriella which just sounds a bit of a mouthful.
Lucy is lovely.

I like max and Issac for the boys.

Icklepup · 27/05/2018 09:53

Maeve and Calvin!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 27/05/2018 10:10

Jasmine and Zachary.

ER1212 · 27/05/2018 10:12

We really like Rory too, also Ronan which is not as popular but will everyone think we're big Ronan Keating fans 😂?!

daisypond · 27/05/2018 10:20

I like most of your names. I particularly like Rose or May as first names. I know they're quite popular as middle names where they can appear a bit as a filler name, but I don't get that impression when they're used as first names. They have a classic simplicity about them that I like. I like Lucy as well as Gabriella. I'm less keen on Eve/Eva and I really don't like Esme.

For boys, I really like Miles and Rory. I like Max, but only as a short form for something longer. Similarly with Jake, though I'm not wild about Jacob. Casper is OK. I don't like Ezra at all.

RedDwarves · 27/05/2018 10:44

Love:

Lucy
Rose
Maeve

Miles
Casper (prefer it spelt Caspar)

Theyhaveallbeenused2 · 27/05/2018 10:45

From your list..eva and ezra.
My suggestions Nancy and Rafferty

catalinablue · 27/05/2018 14:17
