I like:
Reuben
Raphael
Louis

Bronte
Clementine
Ottilie (Don’t like it spelt Ottolie though)

I also like Eden but for a girl, definitely not for a boy.

ariaa · 20/09/2018 16:13

Absolutely LOVE Eden for a boy - one of my favourite names ever.
I also really like Amos and Otto.
The only names out of your boys list that I don't like are Raphael and Mattathais.

Again, I really like Zellie, Etta, Luna, Nellie and Dora out of your girls name.
The only names I don't like are Nell, Ottoline (Ottolie is much nicer), Isadora and Raphaela.

Ricekrispie22 · 20/09/2018 16:42

I've only ever heard Eden as a girls name.
My favourite boys names out of your list are Reuben, Otto and Matteo.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 20/09/2018 17:03

Girls.Bronte Elke Luna India and Coralie are gorgeous.
Not feeling the others, sorry.

Boys. For start isn't Zola a girls name. (Zola Budd). Also Eden is fab for a girl. Very effeminate on a boy though.
Xavier Reuben Louis are nice. I also quite like ZebEdiah for a baby zebraWink

ReginaPhalange89 · 20/09/2018 19:27

Boys I like - Asher, Ari, Louis and Reuben.

Girls - Coralie, Aurelia . Nell and Zellie are cute but feel like they're very nickname-y

Sorry don't like an awful lot of them ! Just different taste to me

deptfordgirl · 20/09/2018 19:32

Much prefer Eden for a boy. I think it's a little twee for a girl. Also love Reuben and Asher. From your girls I love Nell and quite like Eva.

kenandbarbie · 20/09/2018 19:35

I like:

Boys
Arlo
Reuben
Xavier
Louis
Otto
Matteo

A lot of your names for boys are very Old Testament but not for girls?

Girls
Nell
Eva
Bronte
Nellie
Clementine
Coralie
Isadora
Elke
Seraphina
Raphaela
Ottolie
Aurelia

I think maybe try to picture yourself being called a lot of the other names as they are very difficult to carry off imo. I can imagine dc dreading telling people what their name is.

BackIntoTheSun · 20/09/2018 19:36

Only like Arlo & Raphael from the boys

Like Nell, Luna, Coralie, Isadora and Seraphina from the girls

helpmum2003 · 20/09/2018 19:37

Reuben Xavier Louis

Nell Clementine Aurelia

Those are my favourites - I won't add any - very long lists already!

TatianaLarina · 20/09/2018 19:38

I like -

Raphael, Xavier (if Zavee ay not Zayvee er) Louis, Solomon.

Nell, Raphaela and Aurelia.

I’d knock off Eden and Asher for being chavvy and Ava and Eva for being too popular.

daisypond · 20/09/2018 19:44

I'm not keen on most of your boys' names. I like Louis, Solomon, Raphael, Otto and Xavier. Similarly with the girls - I like Ottoline, Clementine, Isadora, Raphaela, Anouk. I like Nell but only if short for Eleanor or something.

WaffleFroggy · 20/09/2018 19:48

Don’t use Arlo. Although I agree it’s nice, every 2nd child I meet round here is called Arlo and I think it will really date.

Mattathias is a name.

rainbowlilac · 20/09/2018 20:30

Can't get over how rude some people can be over other people's name lists, you don't have to like everything but you don't have to be rude😊

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 20/09/2018 20:43

Did you mean Mike ?😂
OP asked for people's thoughts and suggestions, these are Mike's !
Mike is our resident superstar, and never fails to make me chortle.
Chill Rainbow, they're only names.😄
