I love Hazel for a girl, Rosa is nice too. I like all the boys names, especially Theo and Ethan.

Sorellax0x · 29/12/2019 18:38

Thank you. I think Trinity is my favourite for now, also like Violet.

Really nice names. Only one I personally don't like is Aja. Reminds me of Ajax cleaner (sorry!)

Ava maybe, if you like that!

Sorellax0x · 29/12/2019 18:44

Thank you. Haha yes I see what you mean. I liked Aja but I wonder if people would mis-pronounce it, it's meant to be 'ahja'.

Sorry to say but Trinity makes me think of a dingle.
Also Valentina is lovely but said in the wrong accent is awful. Im in Yorkshire and heard someone shout it at a soft play and it made me cringe.
Like the rest and the boys list too.

Spied · 29/12/2019 18:46

Valentina is beautiful.
Rachel spelled Rachel is lovely, as is Rosa.
Hazel ok.
Aja, Trinity and Macie are not to my taste at all.
Of your boys I like Charlie best.
Alex is ok.
The others no.

Sorellax0x · 29/12/2019 18:48

Thanks for the feedback :) a Dingle as in from Emmerdale ? 😂

Your boys names are all nice, Rachael, Rosa and Hazel are OK, the rest are pretty awful, particularly Trinity.

Crazypanda85 · 29/12/2019 18:50

Ah okay, yes I'd pronounce Aja as 'aa-ja'

MikeUniformMike · 29/12/2019 18:50

For a girl:
Trinity - dreadful
Macie - awful, Macy or Maisie?
Valentina - Val, not keen
Rachael - ok, prefer Rachel
Aja - no
Rosa - nice
Hazel

For a boy:
Charlie - love
Harry - like
Arthur - ok
Theo - don't like
Ethan - every other baby seemed to be called this about 15 yrs ago
Alex. - fine

Sorellax0x · 29/12/2019 18:51

Thank you, I think i'm still set on Trinity ! I do know someone called 'Epiphany' though !

imfreeezing · 29/12/2019 18:51

I wouldn't know how to pronounce Aja (Ah-ya? Eh-ya? Ager!?) and Trinity is a bit sci-fi for me but the others are all lovely.

Sorellax0x · 29/12/2019 18:52

I prefer Macie with the ie spelling as the y spelling reminds me too much of Macy Gray ! Thanks for all the replies

OP posts:
Sorellax0x · 29/12/2019 18:53

I agree the prononciation of Aja would be too ambiguous for some.

OP posts:
FluffyEggsontoast · 29/12/2019 18:53

Love your boys names especially Arthur x

Sorellax0x · 29/12/2019 18:55

Thank you !

strawberry2017 · 29/12/2019 18:58

Yeah sorry as in an Emmerdale Dingle.
Blush

Sorellax0x · 29/12/2019 19:00

Haha that's ok 😂

For a girl:
Trinity - Very dated.
Macie - Chavvy. And I just see Maccy Ds.
Valentina - Trying to be posh.
Rachael - Plain.
Aja - Horrid looking and horrid sounding. She'll forever be correcting pronunciation.
Rosa - Pretty.
Hazel - Pretty.

For a boy:
Charlie - Abbreviation. Give him the proper full name and you can call him 'Charlie' for short. Then he can chose what he prefers when he's old enough for friends / colleagues / job applications etc.
Harry - Meh.
Arthur - Old man.
Theo - Don't like. ' Feo' sets my teeth on edge.
Ethan - Every one I've known is badly behaved and the name is screened across shops.
Alex - Abbreviation. Give him the proper full name and you can call him 'Alex' for short. Then he can chose what he prefers when he's old enough for friends / colleagues / job applications etc.

OhTheRoses · 29/12/2019 19:03

I'm sorry but Trinity represents The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit for me and feels a little sacreligious to me.

What about Verity?

Sorellax0x · 29/12/2019 19:07

Thank you for the feedback ! Yeah Verity isn't too bad.
For a girl I also like Frances
Blair (unusual I know)

OP posts:
Mamabear88 · 29/12/2019 19:09

I like all your boy names. The girl ones I like are Rosa, Hazel, Valentina and Rachael. I really don't like Aja, Macie or Trinity at all, sorry!

userabcname · 29/12/2019 19:16

I like Rosa for a girl and Arthur for a boy. I do quite like Trinity, although it makes me think of The Matrix. My newborn has a name very much disliked on mn as "too out there" so I won't discourage you from using it!

Sorellax0x · 29/12/2019 19:18

Thank you. Congratulations on your newborn ! Despite all the dislike for Trinity, i'm quite set on it 😂
