Matthew Joel - Matthew is nice, but I don't think it works with Joel. There are very difference style of names. Plus I have an unfathomable hatred for the name Joel. Grin
Gabriel James - not keen on Gabriel tbh
Christopher Laurence - I absolutely love this. Really really classy.
Jesse Alexander - prefer Alexander Jesse, seems to flow better.

Girls
Laura Evelyn - I like!
Georgia Ellen - not keen but can't put my finger on why.
Anna Kathryn - nice. Prefer the so Catherine.
Kate Alexandra - as with Alexander, I think the order would be better reversed. Alexandra is such a fantastic name.
Tess Elisabeth - hate the name Tess, sounds like a sneeze.
Amy Louisa - a bit cutesy
Georgina (Georgie) Beth - nice !

My favs are Christopher Laurence /Lawrence and Alexandra Kate

Boys
Matthew Joel - I agree with @BatleyTownswomensGuild that Joel doesn't work as well with Matthew. James, Alexander and Laurence all seem to go better. Or Matthew Joseph?
Gabriel James - i don't like Gabriel, it's too feminine for me
Christopher Laurence - i like it, maybe quite an "old" name i think it works.
Jesse Alexander - i really don't like Jesse, it's also too feminine and the connurtation of being a Jessie isn't good!

Girls
Laura Evelyn - nice, I don't think there's many Lauras around these days
Georgia Ellen - I don't like Georgia, I imagine it to be the name of the class bitch! With Ellen it sounds like one of those awful double-barreled American names
Anna Kathryn - nice, Anna is one of my favourite names
Kate Alexandra - also agree it's better reversed
Tess Elisabeth - it's ok, I prefer Tessa to just Tess
Amy Louisa - like Amy, prefer Louise to Louisa as it's a bit less frilly
Georgina (Georgie) Beth - I prefer to Georgina to Georgie but it feels very 80's and I don't like Georgie, it's too cutesy.

Not helpful, I really like them all!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 11/11/2020 14:19

Matthew Joel. I'm not keen on Matthew but its a good strong name. I wouldn't pair it with Joel, though. The vibe of the same together is okay its more the sound that doesn't really go, imo.
Gabriel James. Gorgeous. Gentle yet strong at the same time. I don't think it sounds feminine at all. Plenty of names become feminine when you add an Elle or A to them such as Daniel-Danielle. George-Georgia . No one bats an eye lid at those names. However its becoming quite popular if that bothers you.
Christopher Lawrence. Fab. Christopher sounds really refreshing now.

Jesse Alexander. I'm not a fan of Jesse, sorry. Plus I'm not feeling it with Alexander, either.

Laura Evelyn . Laura is nice. I'm not keen Evelyn though
Georgia Ellen. Its okay.
Anna Katheryn. Gorgeous
Kate Alexandra. Gorgeous. However PPs took the words out of my mouth or keyboard rather. I think Katie Alexandra sounds better.

Tess Elisabeth. Lovely. Although I think Tessa Elisabeth sounds better.
Amy Louisa. I love Amy. My sister is Amy (Aimee) and I was always jealous that she had the pretty name. I agree though Amy Louise is better.
Georgina Beth. I'm not a fan of Georgina, sorry. However I love Beth as a middle name. Georgia Beth would be lovely though as would
Laura Beth
Anna Beth
Amy Beth.

Pick the First Name that goes best with your surname, then choose a middle name.

I'd pick Matthew and Tess.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 11/11/2020 17:27

Like the pp, I don't think middle names are important (unless they clash horribly with your surname) so I won't comment on them.

  1. Matthew - pleasant classic name, not overused (just don't like nn Matt).
  2. Gabriel - Nice, less common classic.
  3. Christopher - nn Chris is slightly dated, but nn Kit instead is nice.
  4. Jesse - sounds a bit too feminine in the UK
  1. Laura - love it, classic but some consider it dated because of overuse in the 70's/80's.
6.Georgia - a bit 90's for me.
  1. Anna - beautiful, so simple and classic, international name.
  2. Kate - nice but only as a nn for Catherine/Katharine.
  3. Tess -Romantic and beautiful but as a nn for Tessa/Teresa would give her more options.
  4. Amy - very classic but not my taste personally.
5.Georgina (Georgie) - hate Georgie, but Georgina nn Gia or Gigi is okay.

Gabriel James and Tess Elisabeth.

JoeBidenIsGreat · 11/11/2020 17:31

All fine by me, OP.
Christ(topher) & Laura, if I had to choose faves.

TheVanguardSix · 11/11/2020 17:33

Jesse James is what I'd go with!
But from your list, Matthew Joel and Anna Kathryn.

formerbabe · 11/11/2020 17:38

Matthew Joel both nice but don't sound right together

Gabriel James Not keen on Gabriel

Christopher Laurence best of the bunch

Jesse Alexander dislike Jesse, like Alexander

Laura Evelyn incredibly dull

Georgia Ellen love Georgia, dislike Ellen

Anna Kathryn really gorgeous

Kate Alexandra nice enough

Tess Elisabeth don't work together, gives me a lisp if I say it

Amy Louisa very sweet

Georgina (Georgie) Beth nice but prefer Elizabeth to Beth

Firebird83 · 11/11/2020 21:11

Christopher and Anna.

MercyBodle · 11/11/2020 23:05

I like Matthew Joel and Christopher Laurence. Not a fan of the other boy names.
I like all of your girl first names.
Laura Evelyn - love Laura, don't like Evelyn and don't think they flow well together. Laura Kathryn?
Georgia Ellen - love
Anna Kathryn - love
Kate Alexandra - love
Tess Elisabeth - love
Amy Louisa - works well and like Amy, but my least favourite
Georgina/Georgie Beth - love
Your girls' names must be just my style because I can't pick one of them.

janetmendoza · 11/11/2020 23:24

Best boys names are Matthew Gabriel and Laurence best girls name are Louisa and Georgina. Happy to help!

DepuisToujours · 12/11/2020 17:29

I love all your boy names, except Matthew Joel. I'm not that keen on Matthew or Joel.

I love these girl names:

Kate Alexandra
Tess Elisabeth

And love Louisa, but I'd probably make it a first name.

Great lists!
