Hugo - nice, quite popular.

Cassias - it's Cassius. Quite like it - prefer Cassian.
Aidan - OK
Cassian - great.

Frank - great if short for Francis or Franklin. Too nick namey on its own.
Vincent - no, thuggish.

John - Great - overdue a revival
Dominic - nice
Benjamin (Ben) - nice if a little dull
James - ditto, although James nn Jimmy is more unusual
Mason - hard no.

Joel - nice, underused.

Harris - meh.

Alexander - nice, getting quite popular. Decide on your short form though.
Spencer - meh
Fraser - meh
Joseph - a nice classic
Frederick (Freddie) - done to death.

Adrian - Ok
Isaiah - great.
Maverick - NO. You aren't giving a comedy name to a goldfish.
Macauley - No. Naff.

Ciaran - It's OK.

Girls

Francesca - lovely
anastasia - fussy but OK
Isabella - done to death
Ariana - too fussy
Autumn - no, low rent
Holly - OK for a Christmas baby but pretty twee
Amber - it's OK
Felicity - nice, getting popular
Harriet - fine, a bit twee
Elizabeth - a lovely classic, and so many short forms
Camilla - nice enough, she'll end up one of zillion Millys though
Esmée - done to death, and annoying pronunciation issues
Amelia - done to death
Alexandra - nice, but decide on your short form
Emily - fine, overused. Emmeline or Emma probably better.

Lucia - 3 pronunciations, 2 are nice, 1 isn't (Loo-sha) - so probably a bit of a pain
Matilda - Nice, but quite overused
Cassidy - No, low rent.

Boys.

Hugo - I always read it as Huge-o. It's okay though.
Cassias - Not my taste. I like Casper or Caspian though.
Aidan - I dislike all the Aiden names. (Jayden, Kaden, Zayden ect.)
Cassian - Not my taste.
Frank - I can't imagine if on anyone under 30.
Vincent - It's nice. I like Vinnie as a nickname.
John - Once again, can only imagine it on an adult.
Dominic - I really like Dominic.
Benjamin (Ben) - Always dislike this name but I don't know why.
James - It's a nice name but way too popular for my liking.
Mason - It's a nice name.
Joel - Not my taste but I don't dislike it.
Harris - I prefer Harry or Harrison but it's okay.
Alexander - It's okay.
Spencer - I really like Spencer. I think it would suit almost anyone.
Fraser - I dislike Fraser. Makes me think of shaving cream for some reason.
Joseph - A bit boring but not awful.
Frederick (Freddie) - Makes me think of Freddy Krueger and that creepy five nights of Freddy game that was popular a while back.
Adrian - It's nice, not too common but well known.
Isaiah - Again, nice and not too common yet well known.
Maverick - I really like Maverick.
Macauley - Makes me think of Macaulay Culkin. It's okay though.
Ciaran - Not my taste at all.

Girls

Francesca - Gorgeous name.
Anastasia - Beautiful name with many nickname options.
Isabella - I like it but it's become so popular. It feels like every second child I meet is named Isabella.
Ariana - It's nice.
Autumn - It's okay.
Holly - It's cute. Not as popular as it used to be.
Amber - I really can't stand Amber.
Felicity - I also can't stand Felicity.
Harriet - I don't hate it but it's not my taste.
Elizabeth - Boring IMO. But I do like Eliza as a nickname.
Camilla - I adore it. Camila was on my list. Love both Cami or Milla as nicknames.
Esmée - Prefer just Esmé. It's nice.
Amelia - It's nice enough but a bit over done.
Alexandra - It's okay.
Emily - I think I'd like it if I didn't know so many Emily's.
Lucia - So cute but pronunciation could be an issue.
Matilda - It's an okay name.
Cassidy - I dislike Cassidy, along with Cassie.

I don’t love any of the girls names but would probably go with Elizabeth from your list

DaisyJoy1 · 25/08/2022 14:35

Hugo - nice, but so overdone lately. 5/10
Cassias - really cool! 6/10
Aidan - very boring. Overdone a few years ago, now dated
Cassian - the best on the list! A saints name so has a strong history, very classy and strong sounding, but also has a very cool feel to it. Uncommon but not ridiculous. I think it will get more popular soon but hopefully not much more as it’s on my list too! 10/10
Frank - fine but so trendy, loads of them in my hometown, fits the grandpa chic vibe if you’re into it. I like it but not that excited by it.
Vincent - don’t like
John - don’t like although I want to
Dominic - nice sound. Familiar but uncommon. Strong but soft. 6/10
Benjamin (Ben) - nice but just a little dull. 5/10
James - nice, like nn Jimmy. 6/10
Mason - yuck! This doesn’t belong on this list. A Kardashian name, weak and a bit chavvy.
Joel - it’s fine. 4/10
Harris - dislike
Alexander - cute and strong at the same time. Nice nicknames 8/10

Spencer - a nice enough sound but nothing really special about it 2/10
Fraser - see comments for spencer
Joseph - love!! 9/10
Frederick (Freddie) - cute but every second baby boy is a Freddie these days. 4/10
Adrian - no
Isaiah - love this! Not used as much as it should be. I’d definitely keep this on the list. Strong and rare and cool. 10/10
Maverick - just no
Macauley - 1000x no
Ciaran - meh

Girls

Francesca - very pretty, strong feel, nice nicknames, 7/10
anastasia - lovely meaning but might end up a Stacey. 5/10
Isabella - done to death which is sad as it’s a lovely sound
Ariana - I like this but do tend to immediately think ‘Grande’. 6/10
Autumn - pretty but lacks substance somehow. 4/10
Holly - pretty but feels a little dated - 4/10
Amber - see comments for Hollie
Felicity - lovely sound, lovely meaning, lovely nicknames, strong history. 9/10
Harriet - love nickname Hattie! Pretty. 8/10
Elizabeth - so many great nickname options, but a little overdone, although it is timeless. 7/10
Camilla - I’d assume you were a fan of the royals. Feels dated 5/10
Esmée - no, done to death, started off nice now feels very chavvy, knock it off the list
Amelia - see comments for Esmee
Alexandra - strong and classy but would end up as an Alex which I like more for a boy. 5/10
Emily - boring
Lucia - I like this, a saints name which is a plus in my book. Sweet. 8/10
Matilda - nice but overdone.6/10
Cassidy - no, but love Cassia
