~Pippa - I met a little Pippa and thought it was very sweet. Her full name was Phillipa - which I'm not 100% on but I think it's fine. Pippa itself does seem a little like a nickname, although I do like it despite
~Amelie - Sweet, I like it
~Esme - Nice enough
~Delilah - Not a fan
~Alessia - Hmm not sure, it's fine
~Ottillie - I met a little Ottillie and really wasn't sure at first. I'm still not 100% but so can see why someone would like it.
~Eliana - Seems fine
~Rosalina - Feels a bit much for me unless she has a nn - there are probabky plemty of nice options. I like Rosa.

Boys:
~Ezra - Fine, cool
~Oakley - Not keen
~Hendrix - Cool, like it
~Colbie - Not for me
~Jensen - Fine enough
~Caleb - Not a fan but it's fine
~Jonah - Like it
~Fabian - Not unless you're Italian

To be honest, I’m not keen on your names in general.
I like Pippa (short for Philippa) and Alessia is nice. None of the others.
None of your boys names, except possibly Fabian. Are you happy with the Fabian Society connection?

Love all of your names, we've got very similar taste especially as my DS is Jenson. My favourites from your list are Delilah and Oakley. Another couple of names you may like are Everly for a girl and Parker for a boy.

Greenbook320 · 22/08/2020 19:25

Love Esme best, it's on our list x

PurBal · 22/08/2020 19:26

@GreenTiles Ezra is a Biblical name, he led exiles to Jerusalem.

OP none of the boys name are to my taste but I love all your girls names except Pippa because I think it's a nickname

PlantPotting · 22/08/2020 19:40

Favourites from your girls list is Delilah Ottilie and Esme

Favourite from boys Caleb Jensen and Oakley

Really love those names but not so keen on some of your others

MikeUniformMike · 22/08/2020 20:04

Girls:
~Pippa - ok
~Amelie - no, overused and will date badly
~Esme - no
~Delilah - awful
~Alessia - not sure
~Ottillie - no, dislike
~Eliana - no. Yet another El- name with the added unpleasant AH-nuh ending
~Rosalina - no. Rosalind is so much prettier.

Boys:
~Ezra - no. Dislike
~Oakley - no
~Hendrix - Great guitarist but awful as a first name
~Colbie - just no.
~Jensen - Interceptor.
~Caleb - East of Eden. I like it but others won't
~Jonah - ok, but yet another OT name
~Fabian - no

I don't think we have the same taste.
