I think all of them are totally acceptable lol. Usually to post here you have to be weighing up Tarquin against Persephone.

RubyPreciousJewel · 14/09/2018 10:13

Harrison and Amber are beautiful.

popsanddolls · 14/09/2018 10:13

Only one that’s not to my taste is Serena. All the rest are lovely

ShalomJackie · 14/09/2018 10:16

No to Harrison - others all fine.

Harrison is the new Tyler!

Nathan - Really don't like this, I think it sounds "common"
Joshua - Nice, classic if a little boring
Harrison - This was my baby name for a long time, and we changed our mind due to so many Harrison's - and used by some chavvy people! Such a shame because it's lovely

Lara - Quite "hard"
Amber - Absolutely beautiful
Serena - Very nice, have you considered Céline?

Hope I wasn't too harsh!!!

Nathan is my favourite off your boys list. Harrison is not really my taste and Joshua is nice but very popular.

I love Lara (was on my list but DP vetoed it). Serena is quite nice but doesn't shorten easily. Amber is ok but slightly less classy than the other two.

Nathan and Amber are best.

Harrison, no.

Sophronia · 14/09/2018 11:51

Nathan and Lara

EthelThePiratesDaughter · 14/09/2018 12:10

I prefer Harry to Harrison, but the rest of your names are lovely.

EthelThePiratesDaughter · 14/09/2018 12:12

Nathan isn't "common". Harrison is a bit, IMO.

IHeartKingThistle · 14/09/2018 12:29

I think Serena is beautiful.

ReginaPhalange89 · 14/09/2018 12:31

Nathan - lovely
Joshua - also lovely ! One of my favs but can't use . Boo!
Harrison - too common now. Also i much prefer Harris

Lara - nice
Amber - really pretty ! Also adding this to my list.
Serena - not keen. Feel like it's a completely different feel to your other likes. All automatically think of Serena Williams

Well as ySmileSmileou did invite judging...

Joshua See above
Nathan. Okay

Amber. Makes me think of Amber leaf tobacco
Lara. Nothing wrong with it. I just don't like it.
Serena. Awful sorry. It's like cross between
Selina and Sienna.
