Judge away!!! :)

[hedwigger]

Opinions on my shortlist please!!!
Also other suggestions that I might like based on these as I'm struggling now -with boys names more than girls names!

Boys
Ezra
Grey
Romeo
Rusty

Girls
Asha
Effie
Frances (or Francis?)
Gloria
Harrie
Noa
Rory
Rosalie

Ezra is awesome. The other boys names are not my thing at all.

Of the girls names I like Noa and Rosalie. Asha is quite nice too. Not a fan of Rory or Harrie at all.

Boys
Ezra - lovely
Grey - awful
Romeo - truly awful
Rusty - horrific!

Girls
Asha - meh
Effie - cute
Frances - lovely but this is the girl spelling
Gloria - lovely
Harrie - I like Harriet
Noa - nice
Rory - short for Aurora? Nice
Rosalie - lovely

I think you are on track with your girls names but the boys aren’t great. What about:
Arlo
Flynn
Acer
Caleb

Francis is i for im and e for er!

Of your girls' names, Rosalie is the nicest by far, followed by Frances.

I don't like your boys' names at all, they aren't my cup of tea. Ezra is the least worst.

I suggest you move Rory from your girls' list to your boys' list - it is a boys' name after all - as that's a very nice name. Just not for a girl.

Ezra is good. The rest of your boys' names are NMS. What had you thought about but cut from your original longer list?

The girls' are all fine but not loving Frances or Gloria much. They feel a bit 'old' for a child (even though a child becomes an adult but I can't imagine an 11 yo Gloria very easily).

Love Ezra!

None of these are really my thing as I like traditional names.

Boys
Ezra - Passable, could be a cool kid with a name like that. Not sure if I like it for an adult
Grey - A dull colour
Romeo - An expectation to live up to
Rusty - Awful. Never heard it before. Like a rusty piece of old metal.

Girls
Asha - ok
Effie - Reminds me of an abbreviation of a swear word. Sorry, that's probably just me being silly.
Frances (or Francis?) - Ok if not a little geeky
Gloria - ok
Harrie - Prefer Harriet
Noa - ok
Rory - I'd say more of a male name.
Rosalie - ok

Ezra and Rosalie. Lovely names.
Not too keen on others

Asha is a nice girl's name if you are Indian - a little odd if you're not.

But you might like Asher for a boy (one of Joseph's brothers in the Bible).

Like PP said, Rory is also a good boy's name.

Ezra is fine - the other boys' names are not great.

Rowan
Eli
Bennet
Austin

I really like Ezra but none of your other boys names.
I like Rosalie too.
Noa (the one I know is Jewish)
Asha (only Ashas I’ve come across are Indian )

Other suggestions:
Gabriel
Asa
Noah
Rory
Leon
Leo
Lorcan
Lucas
Tobias

Henrietta(Hettie)
Florence (Florrie)
Antonia (Toni)
Francesca (Frankie)
Leonie
Cara
Rosa
Leah
Nora

Please no for rusty (what if he's ginger) sorry OP

Ezra is very popular atm if you’re ok with that.

Frances is the best name ever for a girl

Ezra is a great name.

'Rusty Rivetts' is a name of a children's tv character (boy) however I think Rusty would be really nice for a girl.

How about Ezri for a girl? You won't meet many!

Boys
Ezra - not a fan.
Grey - love it, but for a middle name.
Romeo - great name. I think you'd get people commenting about the Beckhams though.
Rusty - no. Dogs name.

Girls
Asha - too boyish
Effie - too cutesy. Nice nickname though.
Frances (or Francis?) - too date. Frances is a girls name. Francis is a boys name.
Gloria - Awesome ñame. Don't know why it's not more popular.
Harrie - short for Harriet or Henrietta, but not on its own.
Noa - okay.
Rory - boys name.
Rosalie - nice, a bit boring.

I like Ezra and Frances or Gloria

Boys
Ezra - lovely, though maybe a bit popular now
Grey - a colour, not a name
Romeo - definitely not .
Rusty - no. That's a nickname. Awful as a first name

Girls
Asha - there's a takeaway near me called Ashas, so no.
Effie - I actually like this but most people don't , maybe use it as a nn for a longer name ?
Frances - too old fashioned . Frankie is cute though
Gloria - makes me think gorilla
Harrie - t? Harriet is nice. Harrie isn't
Noa - Noah ? Boy's name.
Rory - boy's name
Rosalie - kind of cute ! Prefer Rosie

I don't normally comment on the baby names threads but you ask for judging so that makes me think it's ok!
My now adult DCs have unusual names so I like them in general but you do have to think carefully.

Boys
Ezra - I know a boy called Ezra, he's 20 now and he's an excellent man so I like it.
Grey - grey is a drab colour but also I think of the 50 Shades books, 30 years from now your son won't want a name associated with a badly written book about a sexually coercive man. So no.
Romeo - Poor kid. Romeo in R+Juliet is a weak dreamer. Plus the Beckhams have a Romeo and it sounds like you're copying. No.
Rusty - no. Just no.

Girls
Asha - as others have said, it's an Indian name but I like it.
Effie - effing hell? No, it's silly.
Frances - it's ok, a bit plain and horsey. If you're horsey then fair enough.
Gloria - I love it, it's fabulous.
Harrie - I like it but it is very masculine.
Noa - I like it but again, it makes me think of Noah the boys name. How about Noah for a boy?
Rory - it's a boys name, firmly. I'd put it on your boys list.
Rosalie - it's nice but very 'normal' compared to your other names, do you want a normal name?

First thread where i like any name!!!

Boys
Ezra- I’ve never liked it but it’s quite popular now so am clearly in the minority
Grey- no
Romeo- no
Rusty- no, sounds like a dog

Girls
Asha- okay, not great
Effie- I really love this. Maybe a ‘more complete’ name, such as Elizabeth, with this as a nn?
Frances (or Francis?)- okay
Gloria- hate it
Harrie- no
Noa - no
Rory- no
Rosalie- pretty

Ezra and Rosalie

Ezra and Rosalie are great.

Clearly no Gilmore girls fans. Rory is definitely a girl's name to me OP!

From your boys list I love Ezra and like Grey as a middle name only. Romeo and Rusty! Are awful

From your girls list

Asha - not a fan
Effie - I like it but feel it needs a full name
Frances (or Francis?) - I love Francis for a bit but not keen On Frances for a girl. I find it stuffy. Love Francesca though
Gloria - pretty. I prefer Gloriana though
Harrie - is it missing a 't'?
Noa - no
Rory - cute as a nn
Rosalie - not my style. Much prefer Rosalind or Rosalin or simply Rosa

Ezra and Frances are lovely! Also p.p suggestion of Rosa is stunning.
