I like all your boys’ names apart from Sonny and Wyatt. My favourites are Harry, Max and Flynn.
Your girls’ names are mostly not to my liking but I do love Cleo.

Noshowwithoutpunch · 01/10/2021 17:27

Delilah is my favourite from your girls list.
I also like Elsa.
Prefer Eve to Evie.

My favourite from your boys names is Sonny (although you won't get much love for it on mumsnet). I think it's a cool name.
I also like Max.

Mummyofmandb · 01/10/2021 17:35

For girls names, I like Delilah. For boys, I like Finley - prefer Finlay spelling though.

DotDotDotDotDot · 01/10/2021 19:29

I love Cleo and Elsa from your girls list for first names. I like Dorothea and Evangeline for middle spots. Least favourite girls name from your list is Kaia - K names mostly seem a bit naff to me now thanks to the Kardashians/Rooneys.
From your boys list I really like Max, Flynn and Miles. I prefer Finn to Finley. Good luck choosing.

DotDotDotDotDot · 01/10/2021 19:33

Forgot to add my suggestions.
Maybe Iris or Lois?
Otis or Fraser?

Real mix of names there tone-wise!

Cleo - lovely
Evangeline - nice but lots of evas and evies about
Dorothea - like
Kaia - absolutely not, v downmarket
Evie - no way, there are 600000000 of them
Tallulah - nice although trendy
Elsa - not after frozen
Etta - meh
Delilah - nice but trendy
Opal - never considered it before but could be nice

Noah - nice
Finley - nice
Miles - nice
Roman - bit try hard
Callum - inexplicably hate this name
Harry - snooooze
Flynn - try hard
Wyatt - horrible, v American
Max - fine, popular
Sonny - no

MrsBertBibby · 02/10/2021 21:54

Elsa and Max are the only ones I really like.

Nina or Edith
Conrad or Torin

MissyB1 · 02/10/2021 22:12

I like Dorothea but that’s literally the only one sorry.

My suggestions
Celine
Mary
Alice
Rhiannon

Conal
Francis
Gabriel
Joseph

MyLifeNow20 · 02/10/2021 22:27

I have a 7yr old Delilah, love it! Also love Tallulah and Dorothy (which DD nearly was)
Boy I like Sonny, Finley and Noah x

Chunkymenrock · 02/10/2021 22:33

Cleo and Miles. I dislike all the others I'm afraid.

@TenThousandSpoons

I like all your boys’ names apart from Sonny and Wyatt. My favourites are Harry, Max and Flynn. Your girls’ names are mostly not to my liking but I do love Cleo.
Congratulations!!💐

Out of your girls list, I only like Cleo (sorry).

I like most of your boys list except Sonny, Wyatt & Roman, I like Max best x

Whatever you call your baby, they'll grow into that name. Such a lovely, exciting time!!

mathanxiety · 02/10/2021 23:43

I like:

Cleo
Tallulah
Elsa

Miles
Roman
Callum
Max

Rainbowqueeen · 02/10/2021 23:48

I would pick Cleo and Max as my faves from your list

Pixilicious · 03/10/2021 00:36

Cleo and Max I love. Not keen on any of the others

Rockmehardplace · 03/10/2021 01:32

I would prefer Thea over Dorothea.
Evangeline is pretty.
There are far fewer Eve’s than Evie’s and just sounds classier to me

I like pretty much all your boys names.,

35andThriving · 03/10/2021 16:00

I like these ones. I wouldn't like to be called Evangeline because it's too close to Evangelical for me. Delilah is nice but I can think of 2 popular songs with the name in and I think it could get tiresome having people sing them to you.

Cleo
Dorothea....Prefer the full name Dorothea, as just Thea would be an anagram of Hate.
Evie...This is nice. It's really popular too, if that bothers you.
Elsa
Opal

Finley
Miles
Roman
Callum
Harry
Flynn
Max
Sonny

Personlly I don't like Wyatt much as I think it sounds like somebody struggling to say Riot.

Hope you find something you love Smile

Fivebeanchilli · 04/10/2021 21:06

I love some of your names and really dislike others. There seems to be quite a disparity between style amongst your list.

Cleo - I like this but don't love it. I still think she would get a lot of "Renault" comments
Evangeline - I like it but it's a bit flowery for me. And Evie is such a popular (and dull) name that I'd worry that would become her nn
Dorothea - I completely love this name!
Kaia - sorry but I think this is awful. Really down-market. I really like Maia though.
Evie - see above. Meh.
Tallulah - I'm not keen on this either at all, seems in the same mould as Kaia for me
Elsa - lovely but Frozen might make this a bit tricky
Etta - nice but better as a nn for Henrietta
Delilah - it's ok. I think there are too many Leila/Lila/Lola names at the moment though so it would probably get lumped in with them
Opal - it's ok. It reminds me of a car though.

I would choose Dorothea Cleo

Noah - nice enough but very popular
Finley - really lovely but again very popular. I prefer the Finlay spelling personally but I think Finley is more popular
Miles - lovely (as is Milo)
Roman - no. Very popular and very much in the Kaia/Tallulah vein for me
Callum - I'm not a fan but I don't hate it. I much prefer Cameron.
Harry - nice
Flynn - really lovely. My favourite.
Wyatt - nope. Nothing attractive about this for me
Max - nice
Sonny - really don't like this either. See above for Roman etc.

Flynn is my favourite but I don't like it with Miles or Max as it's a bit blunt. Flynn Milo or Flynn Maximilian or Flynn Harry would be my picks.

And congratulations...
