Ultimate faves probably Louis and Marianne or Esther. Lovely lists!

I like Grace, Louisa and Eleanor but I'm not keen on any of the boys names,sorry.

Astronica · 06/10/2019 01:35

I like most of your girl names: Sophie, Eleanor, Esther, Frances, Emily, Jennifer, Grace, Lucinda, Miriam, Francesca. Hard to pick a favourite from these - sounding good with the surname is important to me. Easier to say which I dislike which is Ava and Evelyn. However I'll narrow it down to Eleanor, Miriam and Francesca as my top 3.

Boys - I love Edward and Louis, and like all the others except Francis which I really dislike.

Nothing stands out as being awful.

I'm not mad on Lucinda or Francesca, and Grace is only OK as a middle name to me, but the rest of the list are fine. I love Sophie, Marianne, Louisa & Evangeline, and possibly Miriam.

As for the boys, I don't like Isaac at all. John is fine as a middle name & Charlie is best as a diminutive of Charles - but the rest are fine. My favourites are Matthew, Oliver, Edward & Louis.

Eleanor, and Esther, John and Edward. All classic, but not at all overused. Esther and John are the best.

Ginandplatonic · 06/10/2019 02:07

Boys: Louis and Edward are faves but like them all except Zachary and Isaac

Girls: Like them all except Ava and Evelyn. If I had to pick a favourite it would be Eleanor.

Tillygetsit · 06/10/2019 02:36

My faves are Marianne and Isaac.

AutumnalLeaves38 · 06/10/2019 03:01

Eleanor and Isaac

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 06/10/2019 03:38

Frances & John

LoreleiRock · 06/10/2019 04:26

Esther is the only name I like from your list.

LarkDescending · 06/10/2019 04:53

Lovely lists.

I like many of the girls, but especially Sophie, Louisa, Lucinda and Marianne. Not at all keen on Ava or Evelyn.

For boys I really like Edward, John, Louis and Matthew - all strong choices. The only real personal dislikes are Isaac and Zachary, and I’d put Charlie in the no pile as less substantial than your other choices.

Rainbowqueeen · 06/10/2019 05:00

Lucinda and Isaac

Agree with PPs who say none of them are awful. Although I generally think girl when I hear the name Francis

fantasmasgoria1 · 06/10/2019 05:03

I like Evangeline and Matthew. I don't like Frances or francesca. A girl at school was called Frances and people used to call her franny which is horrible! Eleanor isn't bad and Grace is reasonable! But as always on these types of threads everybody's individuality shines through!

Love: Edward and John

IggyAce · 06/10/2019 07:46

Girls I’d pick Evangeline or Jennifer. Not really a fan of the boys names but if I had to pick it would be Matthew or Edward.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 06/10/2019 07:48

I like Sophie and Louisa.

And Matthew, Charlie, Zachary, Oliver and Louis.

I very much dislike Frances/Francis.

Bucatini · 06/10/2019 07:51

My favourites are Esther, Sophie, Miriam and Edward.

Least favourite is Evangeline.

Peachbubble · 06/10/2019 08:35

Sophie, Louisa and Emily. Not keen on any of the boys' names, sorry.

MrsBertBibby · 06/10/2019 08:51

Esther or Miriam from the girls

Isaac or Matthew from the boys.

MissHenty · 06/10/2019 10:05
