Winterwonderland12 · 30/11/2018 14:42

I like Lydia, Margo and Greta

reeny19 · 30/11/2018 14:42

Ethel, Heidi are the best girls names
Jonah the best for a boy’s name

JollyGiraffe · 30/11/2018 14:43

Also Eli, Ezra

YahBasic · 30/11/2018 14:44

Tahani just reminds me of the Good Place. Love Margot (prefer the T) and Noora.

Also love Tadhg and Jonah. It’s quite an eclectic mix. Suggestions - Cormac and Caleb.

ReginaPhalange89 · 30/11/2018 14:48

From your girls I like Lydia , Reina & Cesca although I'd prefer Francesca nn Cesca.

Boys I only really like Jonah.

ernjas · 30/11/2018 15:14

Cesca - is this pronounced 'cheska'? If so, I prefer it spelled like this.
Margo - hate this
Vilde - don't like
Ethel - don't like
Delija- like Delilah but not this
Heidi - hate this
Lydia - it's okay
Greta - like this
Noora - 'Nora' is okay
Reina - love this
Tahani - don't like
Sancia- don't like

Jayden - always think it's quite chavvy
Isaiah - it's okay
Jonah - love
Ingram - don't like
Tadhg - don't like
Ignasi - don't like
Ezequiel - 'ezekiel' is nice
Ares - could grow on me

daisypond · 30/11/2018 16:27

They're a mixed bag - all massively different and from completely different cultures.
Cesca - looks odd. I like Francesca, though.
Margo - not spelled like this. I like Margot a lot.
Vilde -never heard of this.
Ethel -I can't get "old lady" out of my head, but I possibly do like its anglo-saxonness.
Delija -never heard of this.
Heidi -not keen. Too cutesy and twee.
Lydia -yes.
Greta -not keen. It's a version of Margaret, as is Margot.
Noora - I don't know this name. Is it Finnish?
Reina - maybe
Tahani - don't know this name.
sancia - never heard of this. Is it a real name? Quite like the sound.

  • Boys
Jayden - no. Isaiah - OK, but not keen Jonah - no - it's a word in the dictionary. Ingram - hm. surname type name. Tadhg - if you're Irish Ignasi - Inigo is better if you're in the UK. Ezequiel - never heard of this. Ezekiel? Ares - as in the god of war? (will be called arse at school) No.
Icklepup · 30/11/2018 17:32

I like Cesca and Ares.

LegoPiecesEverywhere · 01/12/2018 07:02

Greta and Tadhg

Pinkgin50 · 01/12/2018 07:04

Jonah and Lydia

17caterpillars1mouse · 03/12/2018 13:52

I really like

Cesca - as a nn for Francesca
Ethel
Heidi
Lydia
Greta
Noora though prefer Nora

I only like Jonah from your boys list

TempsPerdu · 03/12/2018 18:03

A real mixed bag here! Love Greta (although massively biased as DD is Greta). Otherwise I’d keep Heidi, Margot (but only spelled this way) and maybe Cesca, although I’d use Francesca as a full name.

Only like Jonah from the boy’s list.

CloserIAm2Fine · 03/12/2018 18:18

Lydia for a girl
Jonah or Isaiah for a boy

pipilangstrumpf · 03/12/2018 19:47

Lydia and Ezekiel

DramaAlpaca · 04/12/2018 01:47

Hmm. I've never seen such a cultural mix of names on one list.

Anyway, Lydia is the only girls' name I like, and Tadhg the only boys' - but only if you have Irish heritage.

But I have to say, Ethel??? Really? It's about a hundred years too soon to even think of reviving Ethel. It's hideous.

Time40 · 04/12/2018 01:58

I like Lydia.

I don't like any of your boys' names. I especially don't like Jayden. Jonah is the best one, though.

Please don't call a child Ethel. Please.

Astronica · 04/12/2018 09:46

My clear favourite is Greta, which I love. I also don't mind Cesca, Reina and Lydia.

Boys: I quite like Ingram and Tadgh. I'm not keen on any of the others.
