Meredith and Joseph are the only ones I would personally consider.
Strongly dislike Kristina and Christian.

I like Marina and Meredith. Sorry, but Roxanne I would always hear "put on the red light"

Evan and Zachary

Rauha · 05/11/2022 22:24

I like Marina and Evan

Mulberrybushes · 05/11/2022 22:25

Marina and Lawrence

Lindy2 · 05/11/2022 22:26

I love Meredith. The nick name Merry is very cute.

Our cat is called Roxie. I often sing her Roxanne so I am now unable to associate it as anything other than a pet name.

Lawrence is a very favourite boys name of mine. I also like Christian and Zachary.

My favourites are Larissa and Joseph. I also love Kristina but would spell it Christina - Christy or Chrissy are great nicknames.

RoseMartha · 05/11/2022 22:28

I like Katrina and Joseph

Coconutcream123 · 05/11/2022 22:31

Marina
Evan

I like all of them Halloween Smile. Top for me would be Kristina, Marina, Joseph and Elias. I prefer Roxanna to Roxanne.

Violashift · 05/11/2022 23:44

Marina just sounds too fishy.

Like Larissa

Luredbyapomegranate · 05/11/2022 23:48

I really like Meredith, like Marina. I don’t think Roxanne is really usable - but Roxanna is (I know one.)

Katrina - you are better with Katharine, Christina is fine but Chris is dull (no need for the younique spelling, Larissa is nothing-y.

For boys I like Laurence best (the first name is spelt with a u), quite like Zachery, don’t mind Christian, Joseph is classic, , Elias is nice but so many Elis around. Evan is ok, bit dated.

I love Roxanne and Lawrence!

Marymary987 · 06/11/2022 00:00

Theoldwoman · 06/11/2022 00:01

Love Meredith and Elias

DariaMorgendorffer · 06/11/2022 00:02

Larissa & Christian

Billslills · 06/11/2022 05:12

I love Larissa and Kristina is also lovely. I like Joseph and Zachary.

I also know a little Evan and he is such a cool dude (I think partly because of his name) so that would be my favourite boys name.

I like your names,
Just as a warning I am called Roxanne- I was born after the police song, but its one of those names that is just unusual enough for the song to be the first thing people think.
There are two Roxanne songs now, I have been sung my own name at me more times than I can count. Its not a big deal but I really thought it would die down as I got older and it has not. I just get red light jokes from anyone over 30 and 'roxanne, roxanne, all i wanna do is party all night, roxannne' from teens.

This might not be an issue for any new and young Roxannes, and I do like my name but for a song thats over 40 years old it has still not gone away for me.

Mindystryder · 06/11/2022 06:27

My favourite for a girl is Katrina - lovely and fresh sounding. I don't like Meredith or Roxanne.

My favourite for a boy is Elias. I like all your boy names actually, although least fave would be Christian.

Mumofgirls2017 · 06/11/2022 10:15

Larissa- no, downmarket
Kristina- dated
Marina- ok but would assume Eastern European
Katrina/Katerina- as above
Meredith- like
Roxanne (even though it often makes me think of the Police)- downmarket

Boys:
Joseph- like
Evan- like
Elias- like
Lawrence- ok
Zachary- like
Christian- not a fan, dated

LadyKenya · 06/11/2022 10:16

Evan, and Christian.

Thisisnotmyname2 · 06/11/2022 10:16

Katerina and Zachary are my favourites.

KirstenBlest · 06/11/2022 17:15

Larissa - prefer Marissa
Kristina - prefer Christina
Marina - ok, popular around where I live
Katrina/Katerina - prefer Katherine and Catriona
Meredith - don't like
Roxanne (even though it often makes me think of the Police) - The Police song
Joseph - like it and Joss and Joe
Evan - like
Elias - too long and whiny sounding
Lawrence - not keen
Zachary - very popular, I like Zac but not Zach/Zak
Christian -too much to live up to
