otis or jonah are the only boys names I like!

It depends on your surname If it starts with an L for example Mabel, Orla Ottillie etc may not sound so good with it

Alba reminds me of that granny from the TV series
I love Orla and Camille
Clover reminds me of cows.

Otis and Luca for me, I also prefer Maximilian. Finn rather than Finneas.
Rex, Felix and Scout are more suitable for pets - but I have met children with the name Rex.
Definitely not Wilbur - your child will never forgive you.

alba yes if you are Scottish
violet a name of awesomeness
ottillie hate it, twee
matilda awesome
orla fine if Scottish or Irish
martha lovely lovely but becoming quite popular
daisy never loved it, never will.
meredith ok
camille meh
mabel now you’re talking
ginny Virginia?
clover is a pet cow or rabbit

otis soooo many
finneas sooo many
jonah a fair amount but a good name
spencer don’t have a second boy and call it Mark. Can’t say I like it
felix ok
rex yeah baby! As in Rex Harrison
wilbur the pig from Charlotte’s Web
luka girl?
scout girl?
maximillion Maxim?

congratulations by they way!

alba - ok
violet - pretty but common
ottillie- eh
matilda - the movie makes me like it more but not love
orla- not my style
martha- cranky office manger vibes
daisy- love love
meredith - overrated
camille- love, and comes with nns Cami and Millie

ginny - love and much less common than one might think

jonah- I know it's a nice name it's just not my favorite
spencer- 9/10 LOVE
felix- cool dude
rex- cool dude's brother

alba - really like it. Elegant and unusual
violet - not keen. Sounds and looks too much like violent
ottillie - not keen. I'd probably assume French origin.
matilda - love it but very popular if that bothers you.
orla - not keen. Has a claggy sound in the mouth, somehow.
martha - really like it. Both sweet and strong.
daisy - it's ok. Pretty name, bit unsubstantial maybe.
meredith - not keen. Doesn't sound feminine to me though I know it is.
camille - not keen but I do like Camilla.
mabel - has grown on me recently. Old lady-ish but also cute and quirky.
ginny - like but only as a nickname - Georgina? Genevieve? Prob not Virginia!
clover - I feel like this should be a cow's name but I really like it. What Katy Did.

otis - not keen. I'd assume Germanic origin.
finneas - odd spelling? I know a Phineas? Not sure if that's the same name.
jonah - like it. Don't think I've ever met one.
spencer - like it.
felix - love it. I suppose there's a cat association but it's a lovely name.
rex - not keen. Sounds like either a King or a dog, not sure which!
wilbur - not keen. Seems a bit weak somehow.
luka - like it but never seen it with a k.
scout - like it but I'd think girl. Not sure why because Scout Finch was a nickname.
maximillion - quite like it but would become Max and I've never seen that spelling.
