I like Dorothy and Henry from your list. Not keen on the others.

Howeverdoyouneedme · 21/12/2022 22:58

I like Dorothy and Ralph

EhLov · 21/12/2022 22:58

I think the 4 top girls ones are lovely. Frances for me is an old lady name. Anoushka is EXCELLENT.

Ralph is a great fun name for a boy. As is Perry and Fraser IMO.

HundredMilesAnHour · 21/12/2022 22:58

Henry's ok. The rest are somewhere between not great and fairly awful.

alexdgr8 · 21/12/2022 22:58

well none of them jump out at me, in a good way i mean.
dorothy and frances are ok.
henry is ok.
that's all.
don't like surnames as first names, which most of the boys' ones are.

MamboJamboWambo · 21/12/2022 22:59

I like Ralph and Chloe the most and maybe Fraser.

DramaAlpaca · 21/12/2022 23:00

I like Dorothy, Florence and Juliet. I cannot stand Anoushka, it's awful.

I like Henry and Fraser, but don't like the others.

Oneandabean · 21/12/2022 23:01

Florence is the only nice girls name, met a little one called Florence who went by Flossie.

henry and Ralph are ok.

The rest I don’t think are very nice.

Pemba · 21/12/2022 23:09

They are all very different from each other! I like the girls' list, the only one I don't like that much is Florence, I quite like Flora though. And Frances is a fine name but a bit plain, makes a good middle name though. Have you considered Francesca?

The boys' names, again very eclectic. You've got Cody which is very American, then Henry, Ralph and Perry, which are a bit try hard posh English. I prefer Harry to Henry, and Perry is a bit wussy imo. Rowan is a girl's name to me. Actually I'm not mad on any of the boys' names.

Blahburst · 21/12/2022 23:13

Juliet, Henry and Rowan are nice.

rainbowandglitter · 21/12/2022 23:16

I like Frances but none others

MrNook · 21/12/2022 23:18

Florence and Frances are on my list if this baby is another girl, I really like them

Not a fan of any of the boys

curlymacv · 21/12/2022 23:18

I like Juliet, Rowan, and Fraser.

Find it hard to believe people think Ralph is nice but Fraser is terrible, but I suppose we all have our own taste

Kentlassie · 21/12/2022 23:22

I like Florence, Henry and Ralph but none of the others.

AudTheDeepMinded · 21/12/2022 23:24

Juliet and Dorothy (Dorothea nicer though)
Boys names, not keen at all.

Fivebeanchilli · 21/12/2022 23:30

Dorothy - lovely. Becoming more popular but still not very common
Florence (not overly keen on Flo though) - I like Florence. I know quite a few and none are Flo.
Anoushka - it's ok. It always feels a bit of a big name to me. I prefer Anya.
Juliet - lovely
Frances - it's ok. I think Francis is getting popular for boys so this would put me off
ChloƩ - I don't like the accent. That would make me want to say clo-ay instead of clo-ee. Also it's a bit boring

Rowan - ok
Perry - horrible
Cody - horrible
Fraser - nice
Henry - lovely
Ralph - I love Rafe (but prefer it spelt like this). I'm not keen on the Ralph spelling as it reminds me of the boy in Lord of the Flies

Dorothy and Rafe would be my favourites. Juliet, Florence and Henry are great too.

Mumofgirls2017 · 21/12/2022 23:31

For girls:
Dorothy- love
Florence (not overly keen on Flo though)- florrie? As love too
Anoushka- not a fan
Juliet- love
Frances- blah
ChloƩ- becoming dated

For boys:
Rowan- like
Perry- pear cider
Cody- no. Dated American
Fraser- ok
Henry- love
Ralph- like

RP2211 · 21/12/2022 23:31

Love Florence but she would be called Flo. The boys names scream naughty boy names apart from Henry. Surname used as a first name not keen at all.

Fivebeanchilli · 21/12/2022 23:32

Interesting that some see Perry as a try hard upper class sort of name. I know 2 Perrys and both are addicts and very much not upper class.

sunflowerdaisyrose · 21/12/2022 23:36

I like Juliet, Chloe and Henry.

I don't mind Fraser and Rowan.

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 21/12/2022 23:37

For girls:
Dorothy love
Florence love
Anoushka love
Juliet ok
Frances no
ChloƩ ok

For boys:
Rowan love
Perry ok
Cody no
Fraser love
Henry love
Ralph no

I think it’s a great list. It would be Henry or Anoushka for me

BungleandGeorge · 21/12/2022 23:37

Perry is definitely not posh, just reminds me of Kevin’s mate!
