Popular names

[Chlosavxox]

I know they're all very common so no one needs to point that out

What's your favourite out of the girls and boys list? Obviously if you think they're all awful then just ignore this thread

Girls:
Isla
Aria
Isabella
Mya

Boys:
Theo
Albie
Oliver
Teddy

Isabella
Oliver

I like Isla & Isabella.
Not that keen on the boys names but if you twisted my arm...Theo. And if you use Theodore then Teddy is the nn.

@PsychosonicCindy that's my thought! My boyfriend loves Theodore and I love Teddy so I think that'll be our compromise if we have a boy

Fab, sorted then! 😂

Theodore is good because you can have Teddy when he's little, but he might prefer Theo when he's older.

For your girls names, I prefer Isabella then Isla. Though I prefer Isabel to Isabella, tbh.

Aria and Theo are my faves! I used to love Isabella but the popularity did ruin it for me 🤣

Isabella & Oliver.

Isabella
Theodore

Aria is naff and will date.

Isabella, although popular is beautiful. I would choose that or Oliver.

Isla and Isabella

Theo

I don’t like Teddy, but you could have it as a nn of Theodore.

Theodore - as pps have said it gives you /your child the option of nicknames Theo or Teddy. Nice to have a longer name on the birth certificate.

Oliver is also nice, classic.

Albie is a cutesie nickname for a baby but not a proper name for a grown man imo. Albert is fine.

Of the girls list I like Isla the best, yes it is popular but it is also very pretty and chic. Followed by Mya, which I don't think is as popular now.

Isabella is just too too ubiquitous for me, and a bit frilly and wishywashy.

Aria is a bit naff and of the moment.

Isabella and Theodore.

Isla snd Oliver

Isabella and Oliver from me

Isla and Isabella are lovely. Not keen on the other two.

Oliver’s very nice. Love the other boy’s names as nicknames, with the longer name being the proper one, ie Theodore, Albert and Edward or Edmund.

If I was having a boy he was going to be Albie. But it's a girl and she will be Aria. 😊

Isabella and Edward but not Teddy. If you aren't going to use Edward then I'd go for Oliver.

Isla and Theo

By Mya do you mean Mia or Maya? Maya is lovely, the Mya spelling looks odd.

Mya? I thought the general spelling was Maya (which I love). Or Mia if you are going for MEE-a pronunciation.
I like both Maya and Mia but Mya looks very wrong.

Boys - I like Theo and Oliver. Teddy I really really hate as a name.

Ahh you’ve got a gorgeous list

Girls I love Aria or Isla

Boys I love all those names, maybe Theo or Teddy best but I really love Oliver and actually haven’t met one yet under 5yo despite it being no 1 name

@MissHenty I thought the same I've actually never met any babies/toddlers with these 'popular' names, only Isabella! Some people are put off by popular names but my names Chloe I grew up with 4 people in my class with the same name and I loved it

I've defiantly seen it spelt 'Mya' a lot - Mya was number 173 out of the top 1000 in 2017! pronounced literally how it's spelt, I don't like the 'Mia' spelling as I feel like people would say Mee-ah.

But I think Isla is my favourite anyway so it doesn't matter

Girls:
Isla - pretty
Aria - pretty
Isabella - not to my taste
Mya - not to my taste

Boys:
Theo - love!
Albie - not to my taste
Oliver - I like it, its popular for a reason!
Teddy - ok but maybe a bit too cutesie for my taste!

I've defiantly seen it spelt 'Mya' a lot - Mya was number 173 out of the top 1000 in 2017!

Yes but Maya is number 37 and is the more accepted spelling.
