I only like Alice and Bea of your girls names, and Leo and Caleb of your boys. I don't like names ending in 'ie' in general, which rules out quite a few of yours.

Is Bea actually pronounced B? If so it’s really awful.

Is Kit short for something?

ReginaPhalange89 · 09/04/2019 12:19

Girls:
Effie - I like this !
Alice - lovely, timeless name suits all ages
Frankie - not keen, I like Francesca though with Frankie as a nn maybe
Pippa - cute for a kid but can't picture it on an adult
Iona - don't like this . Meh.
Josie - ok , sounds like it should be short for something but don't like Josephine
Bea - dislike
Lois - dislike
Violet - quite like this

Boys:

Freddie - cute but very common
Noah - love this
Ash - not as a full name , I like Asher !
Caleb - nice , it seems dated to me these days though, It was very common 8/9 years Ago
Charlie - like this
Leo - like this

Out of them all I like best - Alice , Effie , Charlie and Noah !

AuntieStella · 09/04/2019 13:10

Effie - I don't think thus queen the works as a stand-alone (effing s euphemism wouid also put me off)
Alice - lovely, classic
Frankie - again don't like as standalone
Pippa - OK
Iona - OK
Josie - like
Bea - doesn't work, other than as a nickname
Lois - not my taste, but a good name
Violet - lovely

Freddie - lovely as a nickname and just about OK standing alone
Noah - OK
Ash - don't like as stand alone
Caleb - OK
Charlie - OK (ish)
Leo - like
Kit - lovely (but I wouid use as a nn for Christopher)
Harry - like

MikeUniformMike · 09/04/2019 13:13

Kit and Harry.
Harry is fine but it seems that most of the people I know has a Jack or a Harry.
Kit - ok short for Christopher but is getting too popular and it has been used by the Rooneys, so it's a No.

e22aed247a · 10/04/2019 17:54

In answer to some of your questions, Effie, Josie, Frankie and Bea would be stand-alone names as I don’t like the longer variations

OP posts:
e22aed247a · 10/04/2019 17:57

Freddie, Ash, Kit and Leo would also not stand alone names.

OP posts:
TatianaLarina · 10/04/2019 18:53

Violet or Iona or Beatrice not Bea. Dislike all the others.

Noah or Leo. Don’t like the others.

NutMeghan · 10/04/2019 21:18

I love Alice and Caleb the most.

I would avoid Violet. I always hear violent and vile.
