I like George or Toby from your boys list and Lara from the girls list.

Tillygetsit · 06/06/2019 23:08

Rowan or Lola for me. Your boy's names are lovely but I'm not so keen on the girls names. I especially dont like the dull in Dulcie. Sorry.

OldAndWornOut · 06/06/2019 23:10

Rowan and Lola for me, too.

mothertobe789 · 06/06/2019 23:14

Really like all the boys names except Chester and also like all the girls names except from Dulcie!
My favourites are Toby and Mila :)

DramaAlpaca · 06/06/2019 23:53

I only like Lewis, Oliver & Lara.

Least favourites would be Chester, Harvey, Noah & Dulcie.

Lewis - middle of the road kind of name
Oliver - one of my favourites
George - classic
Marley - reminds me of the dog or the ghost in A Christmas Carol
Chester - haven't quite made up my mind on this one
Harvey - never met a nice one!
Ezra - quirky and I like it
Arlo - I've never been able to see/hear it as a name, rather odd
Noah - my absolute favourite name
Rowan - I went to school with a female Rowan which makes me think of it as a girls name despite knowing it's a boys name.
Max - love it and don't hear it too often
Toby - love it and never hear it

Bella - one of my favourites but overused recently
Laila - pretty but there'll be confusions over spellings
Lola - really like it
Lara - classic and simple
Mila - too many ways to say it
Dulcie - really? Not a fan

Your boys list is much nicer than the girls list. I like George and Lara best.

Malyshek · 07/06/2019 18:25

Hope I can help !

Lewis - I like it, classic but not that common atm. And Lew is a cool nickname.
Oliver - I'm biased because it's my brother's name... But apparently very popular
George - I like this name better in other languages (Yuri, Georg, Jurgen, Joran...) not so much the english George
Marley - Dislike it. I dunno. Sounds a bit like a made up american name. Or like Harley Davidson.
Chester - Really dislike. I just hear the word "chest". Doesn't sound like a real name to me (could bz because I'm not american)
Harvey - old-fashioned. Don't love the sound.
Ezra - I like it. Not sure what nickname would work though. Ez ? It reminds me of the main character in that star wars cartoon :)
Arlo - Not super keen. In a similar vein I prefer Arno (or Arnaud)
Noah - I like it. But nicknames are gonna be tricky. Nono ?
Rowan - fits a girl better I think
Max - I like it, but it's better as the diminutive of Maximilian I think.
Toby - I like Tobin better

Bella - not keen. Reminds me of that character from twilight. Also it's overly popular atm.
Laila - Not bad, though also popular
Lola - No. It lacks the beauty of Laila. It sounds like a cutesie nickname for her real name.
Lara - yeah, but everyone will probably make the connection with Lara Croft. I'd suggest Lyara instead. Or Lyra.
Mila - not bad but better as a nickname for Milena or Milana.
Dulcie - no... Sounds like "dulce de leche". Doesn't sound like a proper name to me.
