Asher
Caspar
Caspian
Idris
Judah

Arietta
Aurelia
Eadlin/Eadlyn
River
Seren

Boys: I really like Judah and Asher is quite nice.

Idris is OK but I can only think of Idris Elba, it's so associated with him.
Caspian hm OK I suppose, but very geographical (plus Narnian prince). Caspar, sorry I can only think 'friendly ghost'!

Girls Seren is nice although I prefer Serena.
Eadlin - never heard of this, not particularly attractive. Eden is nice.
River - think it's primarily a boy's name (in spite of Doctor Who!)
Aurelia OK I suppose, a bit fussy and fusty. The only person I associate it with is Sylvia Plath's mother. (Now Sylvia, there's a nice name!)
Arietta OK. Bit Borrowers, although that was ArriettY. Ariella is nicer.

I think your boy list is better than the girls.

@Twillow yes Asher is a real name, it's one of Joseph's brothers in the bible, as is Judah

Idris is a Welsh name and also (separate origins) a Muslim name. We're Welsh.

Some people are so rude on these threads.

I love Seren and Idris. I also like the name Cadi for a girl (if you want a welsh name!)

Asher 8/10, love Ash as shortened form
Caspar - 6/10
Caspian - 5/10 a bit frilly/posh
Idris - 6/10
Judah - 7/10, like but prefer Jude

Arietta - 8/10, really like but prefer Arietty
Aurelia - 6/10 bit of a mouthful
Eadlin/Eadlyn - 4/10, not heard of this name and think you’d get a lot of “what? Evelyn? How do you spell it?”
River 9/10 love as boys or girls
Seren - 9/10 love and also serena is lovely too.

Caspian and River are the only ones I like.

Asher 1

Arietta 8

River 5
Seren 5

I prefer the boys' names to the girls' names. I really like Caspar (like it better than Caspian) and Idris and I like Ash as a shortening of Asher. I like Judah but will he get the Judas association thing? I don't know. Arietta is pretty but what would it be shortened to? Arri? I'm not a fan of Aurelia or Eadlin. River and Seren are quite nice. Sorry I can't do scores!

@Hadtocomment we would nickname Arietta Etta or Ettie probably. Thanks 😊

Seren is the only one I like. I'm middle aged but if I had a baby girl now that would be her name!

@Algor1thm Well that decides it. I LOVE Etta. Ettie is nice as well.

Asher - 7/10 nice name but makes me instantly start singing that 90's song - "Brim full of asha"

Caspar - 9/10 it was on my own list, the ghost thing put me off.

Caspian- 4/10 Caspar is much nicer.

Idris - 7/10 nice name but I'd instantly assume you must be Idris Elba fans

Judah - 5/10 meh.

Arietta - 7/10 pretty.

Aurelia - 10/10 one of my favourite girls names

Eadlin/Eadlyn - 6/10 not keen personally but it's not awful.

River - 5/10 I think of river as more of a boys name.

Seren - 8/10 nice, strong but still feminine.

Asher 3/10 (one of Joseph's brothers in the Bible)
Caspar 1/10 (the friendly ghost - I used to have the game in the 70s!)
Caspian 2/10 (sea)
Idris (1/10 unless you're Arab then 9/10)
Judah 4/10 (also one of Joseph's brothers in the Bible)

Arietta 2/10 (Looks like you forgot the h)
Aurelia 9/10 (I know one who is adorable)
Eadlin/Eadlyn (1/10 but 5/10 for Evelyn)
River 2/10 (Thames? Severn?)
Seren 2/10 (looks like you forgot the a and she will spend her life correcting people)

@losingit31 thanks. Here in Wales neither Idris or Seren would be a problem, Seren in particular is very commonly used and well known

Asher 10/10 love this name
Caspar 9/10 knew a lad with this name and it really suited
Caspian 7/10 this is reasonably nice
Idris 5/5 makes me think of idris elba but it's an ok name
Judah 1/10 doesn't sit with me seems religious and I am not

Arietta 5/10 never heard this but it sounds beautiful
Aurelia 8/10 nice name very girly name much like Aaryella
Eadlin/Eadlyn 0/10 personally don't like sounds too old fashioned or like it should be Evelyn instead.
River 3/10 not keen on nature names
Seren 1/10 I prefer serena

Asher 6
Caspar 9
Caspian 7
Idris 5
Judah 5 (I think it's going to be v. common soon)

Arietta 6
Aurelia 8
Eadlin/Eadlyn 2
River 4 and then only for a boy - I think most people would assume boy.
Seren 9

Casper and Seren are the only ones that appeal to me

Asher - meh
Caspar - or Casper? how to spell?
Caspian - like if Narnia or the sea association doesn't bother you
Idris - increasingly popular
Judah - nope

Arietta - from the Borrowers? Arrietty? Peopel will think accidentally dropped H
Aurelia - best one of these
Eadlin/Eadlyn - never heard.
River - like for a girl
Seren - spa related

I love Asher and could be used for a girls name, I love Aspen for a girl too.
I love Caspian for a boy.

River has become really popular with both boys and girls.

Love Seren

1/10 I'm old school and don't like chavvy over the top named

If you don't have anything nice to say then don't bother commenting.

I presume by old school you mean boring and old fashioned with zero individuality!
