I only like it with "ie" because I feel like I'd be forever correcting people on how to pronounce it. I know someone called "Louis" pronounce Lewis.

Aw I really like Heidi & Oscar , another two added to my list, thank you Smile

I know someone called "Louis" pronounce Lewis.

Only because they don’t know how to pronounce Louis.

Louie is a female name, dim of Louise. Using Louie indicates you know people who might not know how to pronounce the correct spelling. I wouldn’t advertise that personally.

Norwayswedeniceland · 06/06/2019 22:26

I love Lily. I also really like Ruby!
George is the only boys’ name I like from your list. Theo is ok only if short for Theodore

Tillygetsit · 06/06/2019 22:52

Leo and Ruby are my faves.

DramaAlpaca · 06/06/2019 23:59

Ruby, Lily & Leo for me, they are they only ones I like. Most of the rest are too cutesy for my taste.

Kokeshi123 · 07/06/2019 03:20

Girls: All OK apart from Harper (sounds ultra-American) and Luna (tic)

Boys: Frankie, Alfie, Brodie and Albie sound babyish and will date badly Louis is fine but only when spelt this way. Chester is Chest-o-drawers, not a good look. Theo, Leo, Arlo and Archie are all OK.

If you feel "meh" about all your names, time to go back to the drawing board--it's so much nicer to have a name you really love. All the names you have chosen are very "everywhere" and super popular at the moment, and there is nothing wrong with that but it might explain why you feel unexcited about them? Try some baby name books and look for something that isn't heard quite so often, perhaps?

Astronica · 07/06/2019 09:07

Best of girl list: Daisy, Lily, Ruby, Luna, Maisie, Mia. Cross off Harper.
Best of boy list: George, Theo, Archie, Leo. Cross off Brodie.

daisypond · 07/06/2019 09:25

Daisy -OK but too cutesy.
Darcie- no, downmarket
Lily- yes
Ruby- yes
Luna-no
Harper- horrendous, celeb obsessed.
Maisie-no, too cutesy
Mila- OK but very bland.
Isla- as above, plus it’s v popular
Mia-bland and forgettable

Frankie-too cutesy
George-yes
Alfie-too cutesy
Brodie-no
Theo-yes
Louie-makes you look ignorant. It’s Louis if you want that pronunciation.
Archie-too cutesy
Leo- yes
Chester- not keen but better than all the cutesy options
Albie- too cutesy
Arlo-very bland

CassianAndor · 07/06/2019 09:26

Daisy
Ruby
Luna
Harper
Isla
Mia
