I'm not keen on Mason or Leela-Rose.
Some people will say Marley is the dog's name.
I like the others

Whatareyoutalkingabout · 31/05/2019 14:05

Lewis - alright, but I prefer Louis
Oliver - nice but very popular if that bothers you
George - I don't like this but everyone else does
Mason - really dislike
Marley - really dislike
Chester - really dislike
Harvey* - really dislike

*Bella - this is very sweet
Laila - don't like this but I don't know why
Lola - it's okay
Leela-rose - really dislike - is Leela a real name? I also hate hyphenated names
Lara - alright

Favourites are Oliver and Bella

CakeRattleandRoll · 31/05/2019 14:16

Favourites are Lewis and Lara.

goldensugar2 · 31/05/2019 14:18

I don't like any, sorry.

If I had to choose, probably Mason and Lara.

HappyDinosaur · 31/05/2019 14:20

I like Oliver and George but Mason is a bit tacky (to me) and Lewis is quite wet (again to me!)

Laila is pretty but I prefer it spelt Layla, Lola is also very nice.

Peachbubble · 31/05/2019 14:20

I like George and Lara

goldensugar2 · 31/05/2019 14:24

Oliver has been the top most popular boys name for years! There are so so many already...

CallMeRachel · 31/05/2019 14:27

Lewis - yes
Oliver - yes but hugely popular
George - ok
Mason - I dislike
Marley - A dogs name (movie)
Chester - No
Harvey* - A dogs name

Bella - yes
Laila - yes, beautiful name but I prefer Layla
Lola - Too tongue tie
Leela-rose - No

Lara - yes, good strong name

userabcname · 31/05/2019 14:28

George or Oliver for a boy and Bella for a girl

Sexnotgender · 31/05/2019 14:30

Lewis - lovely
Oliver - nice but very popular
George - same as above
Mason - don’t like
Marley - terrible
Chester - terrible
Harvey - don’t like

Bella - dislike
Laila - ok
Lola - dislike
Leela-rose - absolutely dreadful
Lara - lovely

manicinsomniac · 31/05/2019 14:36

I love Lewis and Lara

I like George, Harvey and Laila

The others are all okay but don't jump out at me in a positive way.

AmyMaria2 · 31/05/2019 14:37

Thanks everyone.. leela & mason are a no then.. partner wasn't keen on these either.
Nicknames are a big thing for me, so Oliver is mainly because I like Ollie, Lewis I like Lew, harvey I don't mind Harv, Chester Marley and George are just names I like & I think Lara and Bella are the favourite girls names, I like belle but not sure what Lara would be shortened too..

You don’t need a nickname. Why look for one? That will come with school.

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 31/05/2019 15:21

Lara- LaLa

taylorlynn · 31/05/2019 15:52

I like Mason, Marley & Chester

Really dislike Harvey & Lewis

I'm not keen on any of the girls names tbh but Lara is ok.

sawyersfishbiscuits · 31/05/2019 16:09

Lewis - fine inoffensive
Oliver - V popular but nice
George - popular but lovely
Mason - really not my cup of tea
Marley - no
Chester - I really like this
Harvey* - not a fan but inoffensive

Bella - v nice
Laila - prefer Leila spelling or name Leia
Lola - lovely
Leela-rose - sounds a bit cartoony and made up
Lara - nice, classier than others

Chester or Lara are the nicest imo x

Pinkvoid · 31/05/2019 16:12

Lewis - prefer Louis
Oliver- very, very common but I have always liked it
George- again, extremely common but it’s a timeless classic. It will likely never go out of fashion
Mason- surname, not a fan.
Marley- surname, definitely not a fan. Very naughty boy called this in my DD’s class Wink
Chester - nope
Harvey- it’s ok but I wouldn’t use it

*Bella- I prefer Isabella
Laila- no
Lola- definitely no
Leela-rose- 10000% no
Lara- the best of the bunch

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 31/05/2019 16:20

I love Louis, but can't abide Lewis. Yep crazy I know.
Oliver and George are just okay. They're good names, but They wouldn't even feature in my top 1000 boys names.
Mason and Harvey Just screAm chav to me
Chester is just daft.
I prefer Marley for a girl.

Bella. Dislike.
Leela-Rose Awful
Lola. Awful.
Laila. Gorgeous.
Lara Nice name, but I don't like it.

Why has Leela the only name you're thinking of hyphenating.
Laila-Rose and Lara Rose go well together. You seem to like L names for girls, so I'll throw in some most ideas. Hope that's okay.
Leah. Liza. Linnet. Lacey. Lucy. Lilia.
Lorna. Lana. Laura. Louisa. Laura
Lydia. Leia. Lena. Lenna. Luna.

Icklepup · 31/05/2019 16:25

George or Lara, none of the others are nice in my opinion.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 31/05/2019 16:29

Lewis - Nice name
Oliver - Boringly popular
George - A bit 'meh', popular though
Mason - Don't like it
Marley - Dog's name, I'm afraid
Chester - Could work (if surname nothing like drawers)
Harvey - Nice name

Bella - Lovely
Laila - Don't like this spelling. Layla?
Lola - Popular but nice
Leela-Rose - HIDEOUS; makes me think of the Futurama cyclops. Hyphenated (yuck) to boot
Lara - Beautiful name

Lobsterquadrille2 · 31/05/2019 16:43

Oliver and George are nice but there are masses of them. The only girls' name I like is Lara. How about Liana?

manicinsomniac · 31/05/2019 17:00

Why is it crazy to like Louis but not Lewis? I'm the other way around. I think Louis is okay but Lewis much, much nicer.
They don't sound alike at all.

username55675 · 31/05/2019 17:02

Lewis - ok
Oliver- like it although very popular
George - same as Oliver
Mason - no
Marley - no
Chester - ok
Harvey* - ok

Bella - lovely
Laila - ok
Lola - my friends dog is called this so puts me of
Leela-rose- don't like double barrel names
Lara - ok

Eustasiavye · 31/05/2019 18:06

Lewis - don't like too surnamey for me.
Oliver - nice but very popular.
George - I don't like it, it just doesn't sound nice to me.
Mason - no too surname
Marley - reminds me of a dog.
Chester - ok ish reminds me of a chest of drawers.
Harvey - don't like it. A fat middle aged ride man.

Bella - nice but might get called Isabel.
Laila - nice but you might get lots of mis spellings.
Lola - nice but "she was a show girl"
Leela- Rose - no.
Lara - nice but I think it will become popular.

DonkeyHohtay · 31/05/2019 18:10

Lewis, Oliver, George and Lara are nice.

The rest are very "trendy" and Leela-Rose is downright awful. You did ask.
