Love Cecily and Ottilie. I don’t mind the other girls names.
From your boys list, I like Asher and Rowan best. Not keen on the others.

Rosalie - beautiful, love
Daphne - love too! Kind of unusual yet everyone will know of the name so it's a great choice.
Willa - not my taste personally. Willow is ok though.
Ottilie - I like it, very sweet. I keep seeing / hearing about this name so not sure if it's becoming super popular.
Cecily - it's ok.
Polly - like!

Rowan - not a fan
Tristan - really like actually, quite a strong name
Emmett - don't like sorry
Ezekiel - nice, on our list for a boy
Asher- it's ok
Winston - love!!! I want this on our list for a boy but so far DH has said no.

Top choices: Daphne and Winston.

Rosalie - love it but actually prefer simplicity of Rose though that may be too popular for you.
Daphne - I don't like the sound of this name prefer Delphine
Willa - one of my favourite names ever
Ottilie - I love this name and love the nickname options too
Cecily - too harsh as S sound for me. Sounds like Silly
Polly - love this name so much. Joint favourite and very underused.

Rowan - much more popular than your other choices so could be too popular for you especially as Roman with an M is so popular too (and both still rising so will have risen further by the time baby here). Now both Rowan and Roman so popular at the same time they merge into one for me. Also Rory, Ronnie, Ronan, Rohan....
Tristan - one of my favourites - love it
Emmett - nice choice
Ezekiel - not heard this name before
Asher - love this name
Winston - love this name

You have some great choices. My favourites are Ottilie, Polly, Willa, Tristan and Asher

Rosalie - not keen, a bit too like Rosie Lee
Daphne - makes me think of the mother in 'Just Good Friends' (1980s tv comedy)
Willa - don't like. Willow is better
Ottilie - dislike
Cecily - dislike, but I do like Cicely
Polly - like a lot

Rowan - nice but so many similar names are popular
Tristan - ok
Emmett - no
Ezekiel - no
Asher - no
Winston - like a lot

Daphne and Tristan!

FluffyEggsontoast · 18/09/2020 09:35

Favourites are Willa, Polly and Tristan. All really underused. Nice list. Also like Ottilie.

Least favourites are Ezekiel and Rowan which I prefer for a girl but not a name I'd consider anymore as getting very popular at same time as Roman (and Rory and Ronnie and others).

I love Polly & Emmett 😍

Rosalie and Cecily are nice, although I prefer Cecilia to Cecily.

I like Tristan and Ezekiel best of the boys options.

I love Emmet, Ezekiel, Asher and Winston! I dislike Ottilie, Rowan and Tristan. The other names are all nice. 😊
