Can you help us decide?

[holesinmypants]

Baby due in a few weeks. Don't know gender.

What are your opinions on these and can you suggest any others in a similar style? We like simple names, traditional-ish but hopefully not crazy popular (although popular wouldn't always put us off)

Girls:
Hazel
Ada
Martha
Robyn
Nell
Cora

Boys:
Max
Robin
Dominic
Sebastian
Oscar
Harry

Thanks all!

Girls - My favourite is Hazel. Its very pretty! My favourite girls names are Summer and Daisy.

Boys- I like Sebastian but not sure on the NN Seb? I like Finley, Riley, Luca/Lucas at the moment.

Cora and Robin!

Sebastian is ok but agree that Seb isn't very nice.

Hazel's my favourite too I think that's what we're leaning towards, but it's nice to get other opinions - absolutely NO INTENTION of discussing any potential names with anyone in real life! Much to mil's disdain. Summer and Daisy are pretty too, thank you!

OH loves Sebastian for a boy. I'm on the fence. Don't dislike it but not particularly keen on the nickname options. Sebby maybe? Hmmm trying to steer him away from it anyway.
Same with Robin really, I love it but I don't love Rob/Robbie. Boy's names are hard!

Martha or Hazel!!! Lovely!!!
Not keen on your boys names to be honest OP but there’s nothing wrong with them- they’re just not ones I like (sorry)
Congratulations!

Ha! Me neither. We already have 2 boys and have used all the names we like! Hoping this one is a girl or he'll be nameless!

Other boy's names that we like but are hesitant to use because we know other kids called them:

Samuel (Sam)
Gabriel (Gabe? Not sure about nn tbh)
Raphael (Raffy)
Laurence (Laurie)

Some great names there, OP.

I love Hazel, Robyn or Martha. They all appeared on the list for my DD1 and for DD2 due in summer although we've decided on another name in the end.

I really like Dominic from your boy's list. My favourite boy's name is Alastair/Alistair, although I won't ever get to use it.

I like all your boys names but not keen on the girls. Don’t like Hazel or Cora at all.

Favorite girls name on your list is Martha.
Not keen on the others.
What about Marnie or Polly?
Oscar and Max are lovely on your boys' list. A couple of suggestions could be Owen or Isaac?

I love Hazel! Cora a close second for your girls names, not a fan of the others I'm afraid.

I love Sebastian, but not keen on your other boys names (sorry!) although Samuel is nice too.
Some suggestions for boys:
Jude
Francis
Edward (NN: Eddie, Teddy? e.t.c.)
Rory
Jacob
Isaac

Hazel and Robyn
Oscar and Dominic

For a girl I like Ada or Hazel and for a boy Oscar is my favourite

Nell is my favourite on your girl list, and I also like Robyn, though it feels a different style. I really dislike Cora.

I like Max, Dominic, Oscar and Harry on your boy list. Favourite is Dominic.

Thank you everyone. Still no nearer deciding!

I love classical names, but nothing on your girls list appeals to me, sorry.

I do love Sebastian from your boys though.

Current girls favourites are:

Olive
Laura
Bridget
Kate
Clare
Alice
Zara
Charlotte
Emily
Ella
Juliet

Robin and Robyn

Girls:
Hazel: I like and isn’t too popular, the only one I know is late 50s.

Ada: ok.

Martha: Fuddy and boring comes to mind.

Robyn: I really like this and again not popular.

Nell: Ok, but might end up been called Nelly the elephant by school bullies.

Cora: Pretty and not popular where I am.

Boys:
Max: Nice but popular

Robin: Again I like this.

Dominic: Ok

Sebastian: I like but may find its popular.

Oscar: Quite popular where I am.

Harry: Boring and very popular.

Hazel for a girl.

Max or Sebastian for a boy.

Girls:

Martha - getting popular
Robyn - maybe
Nell - yes, but not keen on Nelly
Cora - maybe

Boys:
Max- yes
Robin - maybe
Dominic- no
Sebastian - no
Oscar - no
Harry - yes

I love Hazel, Robyn, Martha and Cora from your girls list!

And Robin, Sebastian and Oscar from your boys list. I know a Sebastian who's nickname is Bash or sometimes Ash. It doesn't need a nickname though. You can insist on his full name being used. I have a very 'nicknamble' name but have always insisted on my full name and I've never had any issue.

How about :
Maeve, Iris, Eloïse, Flora.
Nathaniel, Gabriel, Silas, Tristan.

Great lists! I love Hazel, Cora and Nell for a girl and Robin, Max and Oscar for a boy.

definitely Hazel- this would (probably) be the name of my next daughter if I were to have one. a lovely short, sweet, classic and timeless name!
for boys I like Max, Oscar and Harry good luck! x

Love Robyn/Robin - I always wanted to be called Robyn when I was little, thought it was the coolest name ever!

Ada and Sebastian are my favourites by a long way.

I'm not too keen on Martha or Max but Hazel and Oscar are my least favourite.

I love Hazel (on my list!!) and Sebastian :)
