Boys: My favourites are Oliver, Luca, Jacob and Zachary. I don't like Hector, Hector, Rex or Arnie. Girls: My favourites are Ivy, Zara, Cora, Verity, Alexandra and Niamh. I also like Pippa, but I prefer it as a shortening of Philippa. I don't like Sienna.

Archie - ok, bit dull
Oliver - done to death
Luca - overused and faddy
Maximilian - like it, quite popular
Arnie - like it if short for Arnold
Jacob - like it
Finley - overdone
Zachary - like it

Girls:
Ivy - like it
Emilia - done to death
Sienna - naff / Hello mag
Phoebe - ok but Pheeebs. Popular
Zara - ok. Quite popular
Lucy - ok, if a bit wet
Lyra - lovely but overdone and all the Lena/Luna/Leah/Lara/Leila/Lola/Lila names blur into one
Elodie - too many El names. She’ll be Ellie
Pippa - love if short for Philippa
Alexandra - like but will always be shortened
Amelie - overdone
Niamh - annoying to spell and sounds like Eve and variants, of which there are billions
Verity - love it
Cora - quite nice
