Please judge my baby names (which is your favourite)

[DragonPoop]

Hi everyone
We’re not sure if we’re going to have a boy or girl yet. I’d love some feedback on our final baby name list- or if you have any suggestions to add. I like slightly more unusual names (literary or a bit hippy vibe) and dh is drawn to the popular top 20 type names but doesn’t like that they’re so popular
so we’re trying to find a compromise lol

Girls:
Juliet
Aurelia
Stevie
Frida
Lara
Silver

Boys:
Jude
Caspian
Evan
Ernest (nickname Ernie)

Juliet or Aurelia for a girl, Jude for a boy (although he is the patron saint of hopeless cases!). I don't like Stevie for a girl but it would be cute for a boy.

Lara and Juliet.

Evan, but I prefer the spelling Ivan.

Juliet and Caspian.

We almost called our DS Caspian. We loved Evan, too.

I like them all!! If I had to choose one name from each list, they’d be Juliet and Evan. Or maybe Stevie and Evan. Bit I’d probably wimp out and use Stephanie.

1.Juliet - gorgeous, elegant, romantic and underused yet well known
3.Aurelia - beautiful, elegant, exotic but make sure you like the nn Rae or Aura since it may be shortened.
5.Stevie -okay but prefer as a cool nn for Stephanie
4.Frida - pretty, exotic, Scandi cool
2.Lara - lovely, romantic, simple, well known but not overused yet
6.Silver - too much, Silvie or Silvia (spelt this Italian way if preferred) are more useable

Boys:
3.Jude- fine, just not my taste (reminds me of Judas plus quite trendy)
2.Caspian - lovely but quite brave (really like it though!)
1.Evan - nice, simple, well known but underused
4.Ernest (nickname Ernie) - either dated or too hipster trendy imo and Ernie is very muppet

Apart from Ernest, I like all of your choices. Jude and Frida are my favourites.

Love Stevie as long as a nn for Stephanie
Love Lara, but popular and blends in with all the Lola/Lyra/Lila/Lily’s, so I wouldn’t.

Like Freda (this spelling more standard)
Like Juliet, but prefer Julia as less fussy

Aurelia is a bit Disney princess
Silver is odd - but Sylvie / Sylvia are lovely

Other thoughts - Lois, Adela, Serena, Cassia, Marianne, Rosanna, Imogen, Rosalind, Honor, Esther, Thora

Jude - love it, underused
Caspian - really like it, unusual but not weird

Ernest (nickname Ernie) - ok - sweet but getting super popular

Evan - it’s fine, is popular, but sort of blends with all the Ethan/Ezras and is a bit blah

Other thoughts: Cassian, Nathaniel, Tobias, Diggory, Silas, Linus, Luke/Lucas, Joel, Jethro, Jesse, Lysander, Hector

I like your shortlist op
Girls:
Juliet-3
Aurelia -1
Stevie-5
Frida -2
Lara- 6
Silver -4

Boys:
Jude-0
Caspian-1
Evan -4
Ernest (nickname Ernie) -2

Silver is my favourite girls name- it’s beautiful! And Jude is great too

Love Lara, Frida, Jude and Caspian

Silver, Frida or Caspian

Love Aurelia
Like Lara

Love Caspian & Jude

Girls:
Juliet: beautiful name, love it!
Aurelia: nice but a bit too fancy for everyday life I feel.
Stevie: I like this, unusual and quite cool.
Frida: nice enough but not my cup of tea.
Lara: nice but a bit dull.
Silver: too try hard for my taste.

Boys:
Jude
Caspian
Evan
Ernest (nickname Ernie)

All nice except Ernest, too
Many comedy connotations..... fastest milkman in the west, Bert and Ernie, the importance of being....

Would just be a definite no from me.

I love Caspian.

Stevie & Jude

I like Juliet and when I saw Silver was going to say Sylvie like another PP said.
Ernie is cute too.
