Rory and Declan are OKish, dislike the others.

RomillyTheRabbit · 15/11/2020 14:25

I like Rory and Declan is ok. Not keen on the others.

I like Tabitha, but not Talitha. Don't like Joanie. I remember Joni being a big hit on here a while ago, due to Joni Mitchell, but it isn't to my taste.

I dislike Riley for a boy, but don't mind it for angry for some reason. Same think with Blake.

If you like surnamey names for boys, how about:

Bennett
Hunter
Hudson?

Talitha is gorgeous, really underused (and while when written down it could be confused with Tabitha, it sounds fairly different said aloud "Tah -Lee-Tha" ).

Joanie is too nickname for me, Riley too surname. Declan and Rory are fine though, just not particularly my taste.

Talitha - lovely
Joanie - diminutive of Joan, would avoid

Rory - great
Declan - only if you have Irish heritage
Riley - surname

In my teaching career, Riley and Declan have always been the more....challenging, so that puts me off personally! I like Rory.
Joanie is petty. Not sure on Talitha.

I think Joanie is quite sweet, but she’ll probably always be having to spell it. Also she’ll be called Joan a lot.
Joanna is nice, or spell it Joni.
I like Talitha and think it’s a very religious and biblical choice, as long as that’s what you want.
Rory is nice, not so keen on Declan.

Flushii · 15/11/2020 16:06

I like Joanie and Rory

ANoTail · 15/11/2020 16:07

Rory and Declan are nice. Joanie sounds like a nickname. Joan is nice.

Whatsyourflava · 15/11/2020 16:22

Nice names
I find Rory a bit meh and boring but I'm obviously in the minority, it's very popular these days

Chilldonaldchill · 15/11/2020 18:38

Talitha - really like this
Joanie - I don't really like this as a stand alone name. It's quite sweet as a nn for Joan which is definitely not a common name nowadays. I could see it on a little one I think

Rory - lovely
Declan - ok
Riley - awful.

MikeUniformMike · 15/11/2020 18:43

Talitha - I prefer Talita,
Joanie - love it but would use it as a nn for Joan

Rory - likely to be very popular
Declan - fine
Riley - no
