Thoughts Inn my list

[SleepingStandingUp]

Boy
Reuben
Xavier
Atticus
Zachariah
Gilbert

Girls
Illyana
Lilyana
Tatiana
Arya

Zachariah I'm not keen on (the spelling is too fussy for me) but the others I like. I don't like Gilbert but Gil is a great name.

I like Tatiana and Arya from your girls list, again it's the fussy spelling with the first two names.

I know the spellings are likely correct, just personal preference for me with long names.

Love Atticus and Arya.

Like Reuben and Arya

Boy
Reuben don't like, feel it's pretentious
Xavier ok
Atticus pretentious
Zachariah ok
Gilbert awful!

Girls
Illyana lovely and different
Lilyana again lovely!
Tatiana love it!
Arya love it!

Reuben - gorgeous
Xavier - really cool
Atticus - maybe a bit try hard
Zachariah - he will be born with a hat and beard and riding a horse
Gilbert - SO cool. Gilby is a cute nn too.

Girls
Illyana - not nice, sounds a bit naff / made up
Lilyana - too many 'Lily' type names around
Tatiana - don't like it - I think it might get shortened to Tatty or something too
Arya - really popular Indian name made suddenly popular in the UK by game of thrones. If you don't have Indian heritage I wouldn't.

I like all of your boys' names except Xavier, and I'm not sure about Gilbert. Zachariah is a nice name but has been spoiled for me by Z for Zachariah. Think Reuben is the best of the bunch (and not at all 'pretentious' ).

I don't like any of your girls' names, sorry. Tatiana is the one I dislike least. How about Dalia, Luminita, Nadia?

Xavier and Lilyana are my favourites.

Reuben - OK although reminds me of rueful
Xavier - I like this
Atticus - dislike, attic curse
Zachariah - like, and Zac is a good nickname
Gilbert - wet, and a surname

Illyana - don't like the "ill" sound
Lilyana - lovely, also Lily, Lilya, Lillian etc.
Tatiana - like although Tatty isn't great (shabby or potato)
Arya - too much like Aryan

Reuben and Tatiana are my favourites

Oh I do like Dalia, not keen on Nadia at all though
Luminita is a bit to Illuminati for me 😂

Zachariah is a bit too much - Prefer Zachary.
Not keen on any of the others.

Reuben - really love this, it’s my fave of all of your names.
Xavier - not keen
Atticus - a bit try hard
Zachariah - ok
Gilbert - really don’t like

Girls
Illyana
Lilyana
Tatiana
Arya

First 3 girls names not too keen especially spelling wise.
Arya lovely but prefer Aria spelling

I like Zachariah and Tatiana

Boy
Reuben - not my taste but inoffensive
Xavier - not a fan in honesty
Atticus - yes, really like
Zachariah - prefer Zac
Gilbert - really? No!

Girls
Illyana - seems a little fussy for me
Lilyana - prefer Liliana - really like
Tatiana - no
Arya - prefer Aria spelling, but love this

I like Xavier and Lilyana, but spelt Liliana.
Arya- taken from game of thrones? Not for me

Boy
Reuben - no.
Xavier - ok but people will use different pronunciations
Atticus - no
Zachariah - Zac/Zach/Zachary is very popular
Gilbert - Gil isn't too bad, but no.

Girls
Illyana - no
Lilyana - no
Tatiana - no
Arya - no

I thought 'boy'was one of your name suggestions then! Haha. I was thinking that was a bit unusual and id heard of guy but not boy! Until i realised...

So your list-

Boy - not an actual name 😂
Reuben- nice name. Although i have bad associations
Xavier- love. Although different pronounciations. I would pronounce 'zav-ee-arr'. How are you planning to pronounce?
Atticus- love
Zachariah- ok. I profer zac/zach.
Gilbert- dialike. Sounds very old fashioned in not such a good way to me.

Girls - also not a namr
Illyana- not sure how to pronounce?
Lilyana- ok. There seems to be many lily variants about at the moment though in my area
Tatiana- not keen
Arya- nice. Not too unusual but certainly not common

Just saw you like dalia.. how about Delilah?

Reuben - ok
Xavier - ok
Atticus - trying to hard
Zachariah - trying to hard, prefer Zach or Zachary
Gilbert - reminds me of snotty nose alien character. Gilby is not a cute nickname sorry its vile.

Illyana - will never be spelt correctly and is overly fussy
Lilyana - why not just Lily?
Tatiana - sounds like an ocean liner
Arya - trying to hard

@Likeagibbon hahaha

also, Zay-vee-er and il-i-yana

delilah has too many song connections

i quite like tallulah but i wouldn't

I'm waiting for Tatiana to turn up on this tread!

Ooh an Anastasia

I just love Atticus but I would never have the courage to use it. Please use it for me!!

I think that's where DH stands on it, especially as we're in a very working class area!

I like Xavier, Atticus and Gilbert (Gil is so cool!)

I'm not a fan of any of the girl names, but I do love Anastasia and Anya.
