What do you think of our shortlist?

[lampback]

25 weeks pregnant and don't know the sex...so still have a way to go. Got loads of girls names and not so many boys. Very happy to hear any suggestions too!

Girl:
Violet
Raven
Scarlett
Jasmine
Lily
Una / Oonagh
Amber

Boy:
Edison
Emerson
Oscar

What do you think?? Any you love or hate and for qhat reasons? Thank you for humouring me in my totally bored of being pregnant phase 😁

I love
Violet
Scarlett
Lily

Edison I love too. I know two now. It seems to be getting more popular.

I love Violet, Lily, and Scarlett

Not keen on the boys’ names. Oscar is good, but just not my style.

Girl:

I really like Lily & Amber! Beatiful.

Boys: Oscar is a lovely name. Never really thought about it before but I think I like Edison too?!

Edison was on our list and I love it, along with Lennon (Lennie) and Sullivan
Scarlett is my favourite on your girls list but I love that you have such a wide range of choice there ❤️

I like Sullivan but can't use it!

I like your girls names except Raven and Una/oonagh. I like Oscar from the boys list.

I like Violet and Lily from your girls list. Oscar is best from your boys.

Girl:
Violet love but popular
Raven love
Scarlett love
Jasmine dislike, dated
Lily awful
Una / Oonagh dislike and don't like how it will be said two different ways
Amber my fav

Boy:
Edison love
Emerson dislike
Oscar like put too popular

So Amber and Edison are my choice.

They're all pretty nice - Oonagh looks a bit ugly written down though

I like Jasmine, Lily, Una/Oonagh, Amber.
I only like Oscar from the boy list.

I like Violet and Raven (even though I think Violet is probably very popular); Oscar is the best of the boys' names on your list IMO, but I'm not mad about it.
But don't listen to me; my idea of a lovely boy's name is Lysander, which I think makes me a weirdo...

I like Violet and Lily - the others are a bit dated and I don’t like Una/Oonagh (plus I always want to count on Spanish although I know it’s uno)

I like Oscar, not keen on Edison although I like Edi, and Emerson (Emerson Lake and Palmer) just doesn’t look nice imo.

thank you everyone, always nice to hear other's opinions...would love to hear any other suggestions too, especially for boys

Oscar and Edison are both nice. Violet is beautiful.

Lily, Jasmine and Amber are nice but pretty much everywhere. I know several of each.

I cannot even begin to sum up how much I hate Oonagh. Please God, no....

Lily and Amber are beautiful. I really dislike Raven.

Not keen on your boys’ names but I am very traditional. Dislike ‘surnames as first names’ type names.

A very mixed bag of opinion!

I am unsure of Oonagh / Una because of the way different people could pronounce it OO-na or Yoo-na

We like Raven but would only use if baby girl had very dark hair and eyes (likely but not 100% - could be more brown hair / hazel eyes)

I think of the boys names we are veering towards Edison (nn Eddie) but would love ot hear other names to add to our list. I'm not mad keen on Emerson or Oscar...

Tristan
Ellis
Laurence
Jenson
Otto

Oscar and Una, but I can't abide the English pronunciation of it as EWE-na. So Raven of your girls.

@Clandestin

Oscar and Una, but I can't abide the English pronunciation of it as EWE-na. So Raven of your girls.

same here on the pronunciation of Una

I have a 7 year old Sullivan, do you like Lachlan?
I also love Emerson and Raven, Amber and violet from your girls list.

My favourites are Lily and Oscar.

I do like Lachlan but I don't like the potential nn of Lackey...

Hate raven. Sounds like some goth film but absolutely love the rest

All the Lachlan’s I know are known as Lock or Lockie (rather than pronounced Lackey), but if pronunciation is a concern in your area then stay away for sure.

I like them but they are very popular on name boards on MN.
