Love Louisa, Catherine, Eleanor (not shortened), Alexandra.
Anna, Charlotte, Rebecca are ok.
Dislike Ava, Abigail, Evelyn, Marianne, Miriam, Robyn.
Meh to the others.
Absolutely not Margot. Ten a penny atm.

Don't like the other boys names.
Detest Noah.

Love Lucy, Alice and Anna, Thomas and Robert.

JLM1981 · 07/10/2023 20:55

Go with one of your first 10 for the girls

Elijah or Noah

Good luck 🤞

DramaAlpaca · 07/10/2023 21:04

The girls' names are all fine, I don't dislike any of them apart from Margot. It's very popular and I just don't like it.

From the boys' list I like Thomas, Oliver and Robert. I strongly dislike the others.

MissHoollie · 07/10/2023 21:16

Love Eleanor helena and Julia
Boys names I'm not keen but Robert maybe

Sunsetswim987 · 07/10/2023 21:18

Girls - really like Anna and Louisa. Absolutely love Robyn but prefer the spelling Robin

Boys - favourite is Thomas

lljkk · 07/10/2023 21:18

That's a long list. I can't warm to Emilia, Miriam or Eloise. The boys ones are 'safe' (but maybe dull) and the girl ones are mostly nice. Anna, if I had to choose a fave.

Blueolivio · 07/10/2023 21:38

I’d go one of these girls names, the rest seem a bit dated or overused.
Eloise
Helena
Abigail
Marianne
Miriam
Robyn

Boys I’d go for Ezra or Elijah, the others are a bit dull/ overused although I do have a soft spot for Thomas.

OverTheCountryClub · 08/10/2023 01:08

I'd go for Catherine or Alexandra for a girl and Elijah for a boy.

OopsieeDaisy · 08/10/2023 10:52

I love Anna, Emilia and Thomas.

Autumnwreaths23 · 08/10/2023 11:15

Girls

Lucy - My absolute favourite. The name of my angel baby I lost in 2007. It's just so pretty and never seems to grow old.

Anna - I love this. I have a Hannah, but I like Anna too along with Annabelle and Rosanna.

Alice - One of my daughter's middle names. It's traditional, but never seems to age.

Charlotte - I have always liked. Love Lottie as a shortened version.

Eloise - Pretty. I don't know many.

Eleanor - Love this. Reminds me of the classic Eleanor Rigby song.

Catherine - I love this, and this is my favourite spelling too.

Helena -Pretty. I have heard it pronounced in two different ways Helen-a and Hel-ay-na. I like both.

Ava - Pretty, but super popular where I am.

Abigail - I like this. Most I know just use Abi/ Abbie though.

Alexandra - Traditional. I would probably shorten to Lexi rather than Alex.

Emilia - Beautiful. This was always on my short list. I prefer to Amelia, and like the option of shortening to Emmie. I also really like Emma.

Evelyn - Pretty. Most I know are pronounced Ev-lyn which I love.

Julia - Lovely. Seems to be becoming quite popular again (but not overly so).

Louisa - Pretty.

Margot - I am growing to like this.

Marianne - I like, but prefer Marianna or Mariella.

Miriam - Pretty.

Rebecca - Love this.

Robyn - I like this.

Boys

Ezra - I quite like.

Theodore - Love this.

Thomas - Another favourite. My dad's name.

Elijah - This was always on my short list.

Oliver - As above.

Noah - DS was almost Noah.

Robert - I quite like, but know so many who are my age!
