•Elizabeth - fine
•Freya - lovely
•Francesca -too long for me and I don't like Frankie
•Esther - its too religious for me, I know a couple who were named Esther because they were born at easter
•Thalia - it depends on how you pronounce it, I knew a Tahlia (ta-li-a) years ago which I quite like.
•Dahlia - not really keen, too close to darling for me

•Nathan - belongs in the 90s/80s, I like Nathaniel / Nate though.
•Owen - dated again
•Shea - awful
•Isaac - meh
•Caleb - really like
•Ezra - not keen
•Robert - I like it as a middle name though but seems too old fashioned for a first name
•Anthony - awful, awful. I know a couple who go by Ant..
•Connor - really dated, my kids went to school with loads who were all born in the late 90s/early 2000s.
