Not keen on the others

OopsieeDaisy · 08/08/2023 20:43

Thomas, Lucas and Austin are my favourites from your boys list.
Not keen on any of your girls names, how about Sadie or Maisie?

cptartapp · 08/08/2023 20:44

Ashton - Americanised. Dislike.
Thomas - meh
Lucas - faddy, prefer Luke.
Austin - awful.
Ethan - dated
Lewis - no
Reece- definitely no. Dare I say 'naughty boys name?!'

Carys - pretty
Macey - Americanised. No
Acacia - dreadful
Chloe - dated
Roseanne - too frilly
Rosanna - as above. Love Rosa though
Cassie - Cassandra is nice in its entirety.

continentallentil · 08/08/2023 22:51

Thomas or Ethan, Carys or Cassia nn Cassie

Ashton - dated and a bit low rent.
Thomas - lovely class but v popular right now
Lucas - being very overdone
Austin - powers
Ethan - quite like it
Lewis - ok
Reece - awful, makes me think of grease

Girls:
Carys - love it
Macey - very low rent
Acacia - sounds like a brand of quilted loo roll
Chloe - nice, popular right now
Roseanne - Rosanna much nicer
Rosanna - it’s lovely but she’ll be one of many many Rosies
Cassie - short for Cassia it is great

BrokenMantra · 08/08/2023 22:52

I like Thomas, Ethan and Cassie.

user1492757084 · 09/08/2023 05:41

Thomas, Chloe, Cassie and Rosanna are the nicest to me.

salamithumbs · 09/08/2023 23:51

Thomas is my favourite out of the boys names, Lucas probably second although I prefer Luke or Luca. For girls, I think Carys, Cassie, Rosanna and Rosanne are all lovely!

AuntMarch · 09/08/2023 23:58

I love Thomas. I would have been one if I were a boy too.
I wouldn't choose any of the girls names but don't think any are awful either.

Busubaba · 10/08/2023 00:03

Ashton - no
Thomas - yes
Lucas - ok
Austin - ok
Ethan - ok
Lewis - yes

Reece - no

Carys - no
Macey BIG NO
Acacia - NO
Chloe - ok
Roseanne - ok
Rosanna -ok
Cassie - ok

Prefer Rosalie and Carrianne.

Thatboymum · 10/08/2023 00:13

I have an Ashton and we don’t come across that many so obviously I love that name, I like Austin too but none of the other boys ones. My other boy names if we didn’t use Ashton were Xander, Jaxson, Aston or Hunter

don’t like any of your girls names at all sorry

Epicstorm · 10/08/2023 00:40

I prefer Louis to Lewis and Rosa to Rosanna or Roseanne. I don’t think she’ll get Rosie if she’s called Rosa.

Mamalamadrama · 10/08/2023 04:33

Ashton is my favourite boys name.
Cassie for a girl. Prefer Roxanne to Roseanne

ChangingMode · 10/08/2023 05:04

I know a few Austins and one Lucas and like their names a lot.

I’m not so keen on your girls names but Cassie is the best out of them imo.

SpringIntoChaos · 10/08/2023 18:27

Not really keen on any to be honest OP, sorry!

But I do have to ask: Acacia?? WTAF? 🤦‍♀️ No...a thousand times no!

maggiemagpie03 · 20/12/2023 23:08

In my very subjective view.. here we go aha

Boys:
Thomas - I adore this name. Adorable, cute and can be both soft and grown up, so applicable in both childhood and adulthood.

Austin - not common from where I am from. However it is a very charming name.

Ethan - I adore it. One of the top contenders if I had a boy!

Girls:

Macey - lovely!

Roseanne - my bias is showing but I named my daughter Roseann and I adore it. Lovely name, regardless of what others have said to me about it being a little dated. It can be shortend to Rosie and Rose easily.

Cassie - very much adore. Would the full name be Cassandra, shortened to cassie?

ChateauDuMont · 20/12/2023 23:11

Boys:
Ashton - horrible. Especially Ash.
Thomas - nice
Lucas - lovely
Austin - not keen
Ethan - nice
Lewis - lovely
Reece - not keen

Girls:
Carys - not keen
Macey - horrible just horrible
Acacia - no
Chloe - okish
Roseanne - lovely
Rosanna - lovelier
Cassie - nice but Cassandra is better

DramaAlpaca · 20/12/2023 23:18

Boys' names - all nice apart from Ethan and Reece (but it's nice spelled Rhys)

Girls' names - none of them are my thing, apart from Rosanna which I like a lot

BabyYoshke · 20/12/2023 23:22

All fine names except Acacia which is dreadful.

SkaneTos · 20/12/2023 23:24

The baby is probably born and has a name by now.
Thread is from 08/08/23.

DramaAlpaca · 20/12/2023 23:40

Dammit, caught by a Zombie! How irritating.
