Never heard a boy called Avery....there’s 2 little girls at GDs school called Avery tho

DramaAlpaca · 02/04/2021 22:36

I'm sorry, your boys' list isn't to my taste at all.

I like Sybil and Sylvie from the girls' list.

wanderedlonelyasacloud · 02/04/2021 22:37

Sylvie and Lucan

SleepingStandingUp · 02/04/2021 22:38

Avery ✔️
Lucan it kind feel like it wants to be something else. Lucas is fine but I love Lucien. ✔️
Elian 〰️
Ivan as much as I love Vikings it's a ✖️
Irvin bleurgh ✖️
Ansel again it's like it's stuck between names, Hansel and something else ✖️

Girls-
Sylvie old lady ✖️
Audra it's quite cute actually ✔️
Sybil no, it's awful ,✖️
Della as a NN it's ok bit I'd prob go with something longer like Delilah or Delphine. I love Delphine 〰️
Anya I'm not keen on it, it feels a bit unfinished ✖️

So Avery and Lucien or Audra and Delphine NN Della

Kollamoolitumarellipawkyrollo · 02/04/2021 22:40

Sylvie and Anya are nice. Your boys’ list I find harder as not my taste. Elian maybe.

RachelRavenRoth · 02/04/2021 22:42

Boys-
Elian
Ansel

Girls-
Sybil
Anya

MySocalledLoaf · 02/04/2021 22:46

Elian
I almost like Audra, but it just seems such a missed opportunity to use Audrey.

Fullmoonagain · 02/04/2021 22:46

Sylvie - lovely but she will forever be spelling it!
Ivan

TempsPerdu · 02/04/2021 23:21

Struggling with your boys’ list... I actually really like Ansel but it sounds dangerously close to an offensive word that leaves it ripe for teasing unfortunately.

Your girls’ list on the other hand I really like. Would be a choice between Sylvie and Anya for me.

partyatthepalace · 02/04/2021 23:38

Sylvie is lovely or Sybil is quite nice
Ivan is Ok - if you were up for a tweak then Lucian or Elias are great

Really wouldn’t call a boy Avery, I know it used to be a boys name - but so did Evelyn.

Merename · 02/04/2021 23:39

LOVE Ivan. Sybil fave girls from list.

partyatthepalace · 02/04/2021 23:39

@Fullmoonagain

Sylvie - lovely but she will forever be spelling it! Ivan
Why? It’s not that unusual and becoming more popular.
TheDaydreamBelievers · 02/04/2021 23:47

Avery
Lucan - like Lord Lucan? Least favou
Elian - favourite
Ivan - nice
Irvin - nice
Ansel

Sylvie - favourite
Audra - sounds like a greek mythical creature
Sybil
Della
Anya - also nice

Laquila · 03/04/2021 13:20

Elian is unusual, I like it (also love Elio)

I agree that Lucan sort of sounds as though you meant to go for Lucian or Lucas (sorry!)

I like Ansel, and also Anselm. There's another name that's similar to these two that's on the tip of my tongue and I can't remember it, it's very annoying. If I remember it I'll update!

From your girls' list I think Sylvie is my preference but Anya is also nice, and not very popular. As a pp said, Delphine is also lovely, and you might also like Auden? Both of these were on the girls' list.

Laquila · 03/04/2021 13:25

Just been looking at boys' names beginning with A - so many lovely names! I also like Anton, Albin, Avram and Amos.

DotDotDotDotDot · 03/04/2021 13:28

Ivan is the only boys name I’d use from your list. I like Della, Sylvie and Anya from the girls side. Maybe Adela?

MMM2 · 03/04/2021 13:29

Just Anya, not keen on the boys names.
