I like Poppy, Jasmine Isaac and Zachary.

The others aren't truly awful or anything though.

I love your list. Poppy seems, erm, well pop-y at the mo, I wanted it for a girl when having DS1, DH vetoed it. Have heard of a lot of them recently. None of the others though, they are all lovely. Try out all the initials, with middle names if you're having them, and with your surname... now there is a fun evening of entertainment. ohhh i wish i could tell you what someone suggested for one of mine - lets say it was ridiculous with our surname.

I really like Jasmine, but it wouldn't go with our surname. Please use it!

Poppy is also gorgeous, though agree is suddenly quite popular.

That is a real mix of names though- certainly not a theme going on there!

ok i'll give you the gist. close friend kept going on about her fave name heidi. and I agreed I liked it too. so it kept going on and she had pretty much convinced herself that we should call any daughter of ours Heidi. trouble is that our surname sounds rather like "Hi"

My favourite of your girls names is Jasmine. Poppy is lovely, but very popular.

I like both Isaac and Zachary out of your boys names ...they can both be shortened to Zac, which i love

I like your boys names, not so keen on your girls names though, although Poppy is sweet.

I like Ilya, Elia, Amelie, Ana, Ava, Lucia, Mathilda

Your boys' names are fab. In order of preference: Patrick, Isaac (spelt this way), Zachary.

Not so in love with the girl's names for a variety of reasons but don't want to put you off names you really like, since it's hard enough coming up with a list!

Jasmine is Ok, a bit downmarket and I never know whether to pn it jazz-min or jazz-meen

Issac is lovely but needs to be spelt Isaac otherwise its pn is-ack

Simone - horrible and whiny sounding

Coco - trying waaaaaay too hard

Zachary - ok

Poppy - very twee and I prefer the other flower names...Daisy, Rose, Lily??

Patrick - is nice

Jasmine - OK
Issac - Love this name, but prefer traditional spelling (Isaac)
Simone - quite sweet and unusual
Coco - horrible, looks like you want to me a celebrity, reminds me of a Chimp (because there were a famour Coco the chimp who loearned sign language)
Zachary - sort of alright, prefer Zacharius
Poppy - nice but there are 3 Poppys in our M&T group
Patrick - nice

My ds is Patrick. He's the only one in his school, and so far everyone likes it, or at least doesn't dislike it. No one as ever mispronounced it or mis spelled it, teased him about it. He likes it and once he was talking properly had no problem saying it (once he got past enchantingly calling himself Matmick). We still like it and are glad we chose it.

Don't like Coco-but when I was a little girl, Coco was a famous clown so I have a vision of wid red hair and a red nose!
