I like Anna and John

IggyAce · 06/07/2023 19:34

Rose, Lucy or Tess

Daniel or Jasper

If I had to choose I’d probably say Tess and Jasper.

I love Tess, Anna, Luke and Adam.
Least favourites are Louisa and Finlay.

I like Rose and Jasper.

Arewehumanorarewecupboards · 06/07/2023 19:42

Louisa and Adam are my least favourites.

InstantGratificationDarkPlaygroundOfMN · 06/07/2023 19:43

Hazel - I considered this one. Not that common. Perhaps old (O'Connor/Dean) but due a comeback? Witch Hazel?
Rose - Tardis Ubiquitous. Elegant though.
Louisa - Also considered this one but Luisa spelling.
Tess - Daly/of the D'urbervilles. Understated but pretty.
Lucy - 64 Zoo Lane/Narnia/Snoopy/locket/Lu. A bit cutesy.
Anna - Timeless but not my favourite.

Tess or Louisa I think

Luke - Solid name
John - bit dull, dear John
Jasper - I know quite a few naughty ones Grin Conran, too popular atm
Joe - prefer Joseph
Daniel - Elton, and the lion. Love it though and Dan.
Adam - and Eve it/timeless
Finlay - prefer Finn

Daniel or Luke I think

Hazel - ok but I'm not keen
Rose - ok but I'm not keen
Louisa - nice
Tess - like
Lucy - like but L names are very popular

Luke - ok but Lucas and Luca very popular
John - best in your list

Depends on the surname, but I'd probably choose John and Louisa

thelongskinnymartini · 06/07/2023 20:07

Louisa, Tess, Anna. John, Daniel, Adam.

thelongskinnymartini · 06/07/2023 20:10

Hazel - nice but not the best in the list
Rose - nice but too common
Louisa - beautiful, underused, perhaps too frilly? Top contender
Tess - sparky and succinct.
Lucy - classic but twee
Anna - classic and elegant

Luke - fine
John - great, strong, uncommon nowadays
Jasper - fine
Joe - Joseph better
Daniel - great
Adam - good
Finlay - nice but prefer others

shoopshoopdedoo · 06/07/2023 20:17

I quite like all your girl names. Anna is my favourite. Hazel and Louisa are my least favourites, but they are still nice!

I prefer John and Daniel from your boy list. I’m not particularly keen on Finlay, but the only one I really dislike is Jasper.

TempsPerdu · 06/07/2023 20:19

I like Hazel, Tess and Anna from your girls’ list and Jasper, Daniel and Adam from your boys’. All of them are pretty usable though.

HuntingoftheSnark · 06/07/2023 20:49

Louisa and Jasper.

Leapintothelightning · 06/07/2023 20:50

inkypig · 06/07/2023 23:24
