...so please can I have your opinions on my baby name list.

Girls:

Neve
Halle
Nellie / Nell
Maeva
Sasha
Audrey
Camille
Primrose

Boys:

Frederick / Fred
Rex
Gregory
Reid

I don’t LOVE any at the moment but this is the same list we’ve had since our first was born 2 years ago and I can’t find any names to add to the list yet?

I like Sasha and Camille. I prefer Freddie to Fred/Frederick. Im not keen on the other names sorry.

I love Fred and Audrey

Girls:

Neve - I like this, and this is my favourite spelling.
Halle - I like, but prefer the Hallie version.
Nellie / Nell - I like Nell, but Nellie just makes me think of the elephant.
Maeva - Never heard, but like Maeve.
Sasha - It's OK.
Audrey - I like this.
Camille - I quite like.
Primrose- Love this. My favourite on your list.

Boys:

Frederick / Fred - I prefer Freddie as a name on its own.
Rex - It's OK. Never met one.
Gregory - Not keen on this at all.
Reid - Never heard of and unsure.

I think Neve and Camille are lovely.
Reid is my favourite from your boy’s list.

Neve- prefer Niamh spelling
Halle- Hallie spelling again
Nellie / Nell- love Nell, not a fan of Nellie
Maeva- Maeve is lovely not sure about Maeva
Sasha- ok always think of it as a boy’s name
Audrey— like
Camille- it’s ok
Primrose- like but a bit flowery

Boys:

Frederick / Fred- nice
Rex - like but common dog’s name
Gregory- it’s ok
Reid- ok

Halle-- bit spelt hallie

And Reid

Girls:
Nell
Sasha,
Camille

Boys:

Rex
Gregory - just ok

Of your boys choices I only really like Frederick (nn Fred).

Of your girls, Camille, Neve and Audrey are all nice imo (although I know some people find Audrey a bit marmite). I love Maeve, but Maeva looks made up and Nell is lovely, but not Nellie (the elephant?)

Thank you for comments.

So I’ve always loved the name Nell but my boy is called Noah. So does Noah and Nell look too twee or cutesy try hard?

Camille and Frederick (nn Freddie) are my favourites from your list, not keen on any of the others, sorry.

I like Camille and Freddie/Fred

If you have said Maeve, that would have been up there too!

I think Nell as a nickname is good. But would be to Penelope. Which would work with Noah.

My friend just had twins called Noah and Charlie

I watch Made in Chelsea and there is a Maeva in that so that’s where I got that name from, I prefer it to Maeve. However, it’s not my favourite.

I think I’m liking Camille the most at the moment. I don’t know about the boy names I’ve got. There’s nothing that really sticks out for me.

I’m not keen on Penelope only because I know of too many around here in the last 3 years.

Charlie is quite nice actually. I hadn’t thought of Charlie.

Will you be finding out the sex, to help your decision making or keeping it surprise?

My neighbour is called Camille and I think it's really pretty and a bit different. Has the same vibe as Emily, Charlotte, Lucy and Sophie for me.

I find boys names difficult! Her boys are Zachary/Zach, Noah & Charlie and I like all the names.

Neve - Niamh is lovely, don't like Neve
Halle - quite bland - blends in with Ellie, Molly, Tilly etc.
Nellie / Nell - Nell is nice I prefer it as a nickname though. Dislike Nellie
Maeva - sounds a bit made up to me
Sasha - I think of this more as a boys name
Audrey - rising in popularity, but I don't see the appeal
Camille - nice name, I prefer Camilla
Primrose - I love Primrose (you might not get a lot of support on here though!)

Frederick / Fred - love it
Rex - not a fan
Gregory - lovely choice, unusual but not bizarre. Also like Gregor
Reid - no

No we aren’t finding out and we didn’t with our first either I like the suspense too much!

If my first had of been a girl he was going to be called Genevieve, once I had him in my arms and saw how tiny he was I just couldn’t picture a baby having such a big name. That’s why I’m trying to keep to quite short names I think.

I do like both spellings of Neve, I just lack any connections to Ireland unfortunately so felt a bit funny using that spelling.

I love Maeva and it's also on my list MIC is my trashy guilty pleasure.

My least fave for a girl is Primrose. The full version feels a bit overly flowery, and Prim sounds...well...prim.

Camille is stunning, and I also really like Sasha. Like Maeve but not Maeva. Not keen on the others or any of your boys’ names I’m afraid (although if I had to pick one I’d go for Frederick).

Nellie

Halle - sounds made up and down market
Nellie / Nell - love Nell but ideally as a nn for Eleanor or similar.
Maeva - it sounds really odd to me with the a but Maeve is nice.
Sasha - v 70s revival! Nice enough.
Audrey - don’t like it much.
Camille - don’t like this, but do like Camilla
Primrose - no - extremely wet

Boys:

Frederick / Fred. Like both, Fred as nn.
Rex - no, awful, downmarket.
Gregory - nice enough.
Reid - no, awful, downmarket.

Maeva on MIC is quite hard to pronounce

Greta? Martha? Mabel?

I really love Audrey. How about verity or felicity

I think Nell sounds lovely with Noah

If you like Made in Chelsea how about Tristan, Hugo and Spencer haha. They are all nice names and established in own right

Rex is nice. How about Axel.

Rex, Maria and Sarah are my favourites from your list

Sasha! My phone autocorrected!!

I also think Nell would be fine with Noah
