So you have an issue with an American name but then suggest an Italian name?

Florence, Juliet, Frances and Henry I love!

Juliet and Henry - classic feeling and gorgeous sound, so would be my picks.

Also have a soft spot for trendy but sweet sounding Rowan and Scots lad Fraser. Quite like uncommon, quirky Anoushka, bohemian trendy Florence and retro ladylike Frances too. Don't like the sound of Ralph personally but nothing wrong with it as such.

Not Cody or Perry - very 90's/00's sounding boyband imo and on the opposite scale I know Dorothy is on an upward swing currently but it's still feels like it should be in a retirement home to me.

I don't like any of them. Although I do know a Ralphie, I like that

I didn't say I had an issue with Cody as an American name, did I? Just that it was very different from the very English Henry Ralph and Perry. People tend to make lists of similar names IME.

Juliet & Ralph

I only like Fraser tbh! Def not Dorothy as it reminds me of the wizard of Oz! Unless you live in Kansas obvs!! 😂

Disclaimer: I am a teacher so most names have connotations...

For girls:
Dorothy 9/10 - lovely name, not over-used and means 'gift of God' which is beautiful
Florence (not overly keen on Flo though) 8/10 - nice name but every other girl under ten seems to be called it
Anouchka 5/10 not attractive
Juliet 9/ 10 lovely
Frances 10/10 perfect
Chloé 8/10 very nice

For boys:
Rowan 7/10
Perry 0/10 awful
Cody 1/10 awful
Fraser 6/10 alright
Henry 8/10 nice name but overused
Ralph 6/10 not great

We probably have different taste in names. The important thing is if you like them.

Dorothy - sorry, I don't think I'll ever warm to this. Don't like Dorothea either.

Florence (not overly keen on Flo though) - overused dated.

Anoushka - very 1980's, but I really like it.
Juliet - lovely, but I prefer Julla
Frances - like Dorothy, not a name I can warm to. Prefer Francesca or Francine
Chloé - prefer Zoë

For boys:
Rowan - my favourite - love it for a boy or a girl
Perry - I just think Kevin or platypus!
Cody - ok - prefer it for a girl
Fraser - like it
Henry - love it
Ralph - no!

For a girl what about:
Edie or Edina
Delphine
Coralie
Anneke
Rowan

Boys:
Jude
Raphael
Silas
Elias

Anoushka
Chloe
Juliet

Henry
Fraser

Doh!

Also Rowan

I like Juliet, Rowan and Ralph. Chloe, Henry and Cody are fine. Don’t like any of the others.

I like Dorothy and Florence (I'd use nickname Flossie). Frances is great - plain and simple and elegant, like Jane. I'm not keen on Juliet - prefer Julian/Gillian. But no reason for that, just personal taste. If you choose Chloe, please spell it correctly. There is no acute accent over the final 'e'. If you want to emphasise the Chlow-EE pronounciation, then use a diaresis (two dots) over the e. That shows it's pronounced as a separate syllable. As a previous poster has pointed out, a final e with an acute accent gives you the sound 'ay' . That's not what the name sounds like.

Boys names - Rowan is really nice but quite popular and (as others have said on other threads) likely to get lost in a sea of currently extremely popular Rohans and Romans. Of the others, Henry is a good solid name. I don't particularly like it, but again, that's just personal taste. But I very much prefer it to the rest on your list.

Gosh, OP am sorry if this sounds unkind. That is not my intention. Of course, of course, the name of your baby is ENTIRELY up to you, whatever people say.

Juliet is nice. The sounds are nice and classically balanced and the association with Shakespeare's play gives it distinction.

I like Juliet and Chloe from your girls list and Rowan and Henry from your boys list. Not hugely keen on any of the others really.

Juliet, Frances, Chloé are great. Although I wouldn't bother with the accent in Chloe

Fraser , Henry are alright.

I only like Chloë with an ë

Dorothy Anouska and Ralph. Don't like the others. Chloe is like Zoe is Like Pam very blah

I love all your girls. Special love for Dorothy and its diminutives. Boys I like Ralph, Cody and Henry.

For girls:
Dorothy - nice
Florence (not overly keen on Flo though) - also nice but quite popular
Anoushka - I don't like the harsh ending
Juliet - nice
Frances - meh
Chloé - nice name but the accent may be difficult spelling wise

For boys:
Rowan - lovely
Perry - platypus, no
Cody - no
Fraser - meh
Henry - nice
Ralph

None sorry.

Dorothy is awful. Do not foist that on a poor child. The rest are fine, although Cody seems out of favour now round here

Dorothy - due a come back 8/10
Florence (not overly keen on Flo though) - I want to love it but just don't 2/10
Anoushka - don't love it sounds too fancy for me 3/10
Juliet - it's a classic 6/10
Frances - prefer it for a male more 2/10
Chloé - love it but very overused 4/10

For boys:
Rowan - nn row and my heads sings row row row your boat 5/10
Perry - hmmm not sure don't know why 5/10
Cody - too American for me 0/10
Fraser - tv series 2/10
Henry - overused 2/10
Ralph - the Simpsons 1/10

Julie and Rowan.

I love Juliet and Rowan.
