This is in order of our preference...

Zara
Milla
Sasha
Pippa

Freddie
Leo
Caspar
Ned (Edward, Edmund)
Rocco (slightly unsure - half think it is very cool, half think it is a bit dogs name/naff for an adult!)

I like Zara most from your girls list. Not sure about the others, they're "ok" but nothing I would personally use.
Not sure about your boy's names. I know a Rocco and it's grown on me but seemed very "out there" when i first met him. I know a dog called Ned so that's swinging it for me and every other child seems to be Edward / Ted / Teddy at the moment. Leo and Freddie are ok, I don't like Caspar.

Sasha and Caspar (but I'd call him Cass).

DoctorBambino · 25/08/2021 14:03

I like Pippa the most from your list, I also like zara and Milla but not keen on Sasha

I know way too many Freddies, Leo is nice, not keen on Caspar, Ned is cool and
Rocco seems a much braver choice than your others but I like it. I think I'd go Ned or Leo.

Sasha or Pippa
Leo or Ned

Pippa is usually short for Philippa isn't it? I'm
Personally not keen on putting a short version on a BC but that might just be me.

I like Mila spelt with one L. And I also like Freddie.

I love Milla, Zara, Sasha, Leo & Casper!Smile

Anon778833 · 25/08/2021 14:08

I wouldn't put Freddie on the BC tho

Balonzette · 25/08/2021 14:13

Zara and Caspar

Chunkymenrock · 25/08/2021 14:22

Sasha, Zara, Caspar, Leo. Nice names apart from Milla which reminds me of milia (white spots) or a miller.

Zara and Caspar

Lovely choices

TatianaBis · 25/08/2021 14:26

Zara and Caspar. I like Edward but 'Ned' = Scottish version of 'chav'.

KirstenBlest · 25/08/2021 14:32

Zara - nice but it's also a shop
Milla - don't like
Sasha - nice but would use Alexandra on the bc
Pippa- nice but would use Philippa on the bc

Freddie - ok but I don't like Fred
Leo - lovely but overused
Caspar - nice but too 'current'
Ned (Edward, Edmund) Don't like Ned
Rocco - don't like

ellenpartridge · 25/08/2021 14:33

Leo from the boys. Zara or Pippa for a girl

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 25/08/2021 14:53

Casper and Zara

user1493494961 · 25/08/2021 15:25

Zara and Ned.

Marguerite2000 · 25/08/2021 15:30

Zara for a girl.
Ned/Edward for a boy.

wouldukissafrog · 25/08/2021 15:36

Pippa and Edmund but I prefer Eddie to ned

Amz6219 · 25/08/2021 15:42

Zara and Leo

Knittingupastorm · 25/08/2021 15:45

Pippa

From the boys list Edward, but I wouldn’t shorten to Ned.

Largethighsbadeyes · 25/08/2021 15:47

Pippa from the girls list

DotDotDotDotDot · 25/08/2021 15:50

I love Zara and Caspar. Leo is lovely too but so popular recently. Pippa means lots of rude words in other languages, just check previous threads about it to see if it bothers you.

LizzieBet14 · 25/08/2021 15:56

Zara & Leo

SW100 · 25/08/2021 16:19

Rocco is my dogs name so I’m biased and love it. I do also know a couple of children called Rocco and think it’s very cute for them.
I also really like Freddie, but prefer Frederick on birth certificate, I think it gives them more options when they’re older. Also a bit biased towards that name because it was my Grandad.
Not keen on Ned, actually come across more dogs called Ned than Rocco. I like all your other boys names and the girls are all ok, none of them stand out to me.

GintyMcGinty · 25/08/2021 16:38

Zara and Leo

I don't really like the others.

SnitchyBitch · 25/08/2021 16:57

Sasha/Caspar
