Can Lux be both m/F? Have only heard it as being a girl's name!

Heratnumber7 · 21/04/2019 19:05

Sorry OP, but I don't like any of those.

PinaColadaPlease · 21/04/2019 19:09

Lux sounds like a bar of soap (and believe there may actually have been soap called this)!

I loke Ellis as a boy’s name but not keen for a girl. From your post I would choose Hallie and Aiden (or Ellis). Hallie is quite popular though if that bothers you.

bridgetreilly · 21/04/2019 19:18

The only one of the names you have listed for girls that is normally a girl's name is Allie, or maybe Hallie. Please pick girl names for a girl.

Of your boy choices, I like Alistair.

Marlena1 · 21/04/2019 19:21

Love Hallie, Finn and Aiden

Icklepup · 21/04/2019 19:21

Of all your names I only like Lux for a girl.

BigSexyCrimeUnit · 21/04/2019 19:21

Really not keen on any of the girls name.

Haillie - weird spelling of Hayley.
Allie - a nickname not a name.
Brogan - ok
Reece - no, just no.
Lux - a soap.
Ellis - a boy's name. I know it's sometimes used for a girl but traditionally it is a boy's name.

I like all your boy's names except Lux.

MikeUniformMike · 21/04/2019 19:23

Oops. Aiden is ok.

AWishForWingsThatWork · 21/04/2019 19:35

Your only actual girls' names are Luc and Hallie/Allie, and none of those are very nice.

Finn and Ellis are nice for boys.

koality · 21/04/2019 20:08

I like Hallie, Allie and Reece are OK.
Hate Brogan, Lux and Ellis sorry.

For the boys names, I like Arlo best. Alistair and Aiden are nice.
Finn is OK. Hate Lux sorry.

koality · 21/04/2019 20:10
  • I don't mean hate, that;s a bit strong. Wouldn't pick though.
Twelve8Ts · 21/04/2019 20:11

Lux, Reese and Finn

BlueMerchant · 21/04/2019 20:13

Hallie and Aidan are the nicest.Really dislike Lux and Arlo

DramaAlpaca · 21/04/2019 20:15

I dislike all the girls' names, sorry.

I like Finn & Alistair, & Aiden is OK but prefer it spelled Aidan.

I can't get my head around Lux. I don't like it all.

LadyWithLapdog · 21/04/2019 20:16

Lux definitely was a bar of soap. Like Rexona. I think they are still available on the Continent.

florascotia2 · 21/04/2019 20:47

Sorry if this is discouraging, but as well as being a brand-name for soap, Lux is also an international unit of scientific measurement en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lux It would be a bit like calling a baby 'metre' or 'gram'.

afterashowerr · 21/04/2019 21:28

Hallie and Finn are lovely

Whoops75 · 21/04/2019 21:32

Bumblebeesmum · 21/04/2019 21:33

Argh that’s a whole list of not for me I think - but I like Hallie & Arlo

Roseredwine12 · 21/04/2019 21:46

Girl names

  • Hallie / Allie short for Hayley and Alison? On their own it's not great.
  • Brogan - sorry I find this a very ugly name
  • Reece boys name
  • Lux no, no, no
  • Ellis lovely as a boys name not for a girl

Boy names

  • Finn ok prob the best
  • Alistair ok
  • Lux (again)no
  • Arlo ok
  • Aiden ok
HopeMatters · 21/04/2019 22:09

The Brogan I know is the kindest, happiest woman: for that reason I love the name now.

ABitOTT · 21/04/2019 22:12

I know a female Ellis in her twenties. Had only heard of it as a boys name before I met her. Only boys name I like on your list is Arlo. Lux would be OK if it wasn't a soap bar & Rees is now going to be tainted by that Rees-Mogg knobhead.

Disappearedtothe80s · 21/04/2019 22:35

Girl names

  • Hallie / Allie - prefer Allie and best of the bunch
  • Brogan - awful
  • Reece - I mean other than Reese Witherspoon (which isn't actually her BC name), I have never heard a female Reece
  • Lux - awful
  • Ellis - it is ok, a boys name but still better than the above three.

Boy names

  • Finn - lovely
  • Alistair - not keen
  • Lux (again) - awful
  • Arlo - faddy
  • Aiden - love
shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 21/04/2019 22:37

I don't like any of your girls names, Hallie or Reece are best of a bad lot imho

I much prefer your boys names (except Lux), Alastair or Arlo would me my choices
