boy
trent - awful, like dent and trench combined
teddy - sweet if very overdone - prefer it short for Edward or Theodore
tyson - thuggish and low rent so no

Toben or Toren might be alternatives

girls
sapphire - bit of a stripper name
saint - stripper name - either that or a religious maniac - also what a thing for your daughter to live up to
saskia - lovely

I’d go with Saskia - but Serena, Sabrina or Sanchia might be others

KirstenBlest · 11/11/2023 12:58

trent - sounds like a local authority
teddy - popular but a bit toddlery
tyson - not my taste

sapphire - not my taste
saint - is it a name?
saskia - nice

MaloneMeadow · 11/11/2023 13:15

Trent + Tyson - both equally awful, so chavvy
Teddy - nice for a young boy but will be too childish when he’s older

Sapphire - porn star name, how about Saffron nn. Saffie?
Saint - Kim Kardashian’s son? Bizarre
Saskia - alright, Sasha is much nicer

VerrryNiceIndeed · 11/11/2023 13:21

Not Tyson or Sapphire.

BoleynMemories13 · 11/11/2023 13:21

Teddy isn't my style but I really dislike the other two boy's choices so I vote for that by default.

Likewise Saskia wins by default for me. Saint is truly terrible. It's not a name, and not in the least bit feminine. I'd assume try-hard celeb wannabe. Agree that Saffron is a nice alternative to Sapphire (which does have stripper vibes) as you can still get the nickname Saffy.

You are clearly drawn to T boy names and S girl names. What about the following:-

Sadie
Serena
Sasha
Sienna
Savannah
Summer
Saffron

Tristan
Tyler
Toby
Travis
Taylor

DramaAlpaca · 11/11/2023 13:32

Saskia is nice.

The rest aren't my taste at all.

RoseRows · 11/11/2023 13:34

Teddy or Saskia are the nicest on your list.

Theoldwoman · 11/11/2023 13:42

I like Saskia.
That is all.

KeeefBurtain · 11/11/2023 13:50

I like Teddy and Saskia.

I have an uncle Teddy in his 70s so it’s never seemed like a toddler name to me. He was a boxer in his youth and quite ruggish

peaceinourtime · 11/11/2023 14:02

Saskia is ok. I’m not a fan of the other girl name choices. Consider names like Sage or Sirena pronounced sir-ren-a. For the boys names Teddy has been done to death, Trent and Tyson are also ok.

Thewolvesarerunningagain · 11/11/2023 14:19

Saskia is nice. Theodore or Edward give you Teddy as a nickname and both are classic names. Saint is only ok as part of the boys name StJohn (pronounced Sinjun) and that’s a posh whopper of a name for a kid to
manage. Tyson sounds like a dog name (given by someone who wants his dog to be ‘well hard’). Trent Isn’t all that bad but it depends on your surname. Sapphire - I’m old so I guess I’d think of 80s crime fighting duo Sapphire and Steel!

Mumofgirls2017 · 11/11/2023 17:52

Teddy or Saskia

Pemba · 11/11/2023 17:57

Boys - no, back to the drawing board!

Girls - Saskia is nice and I don't mind Sapphire. But Saint , you must be joking right?

tokesqueen · 11/11/2023 18:01

Saskia is nice.
The rest are hideous.

Mummapenguin20 · 11/11/2023 18:18

So that’s my dp list. We know what baby is and we have a name I just wanted to show him I’m not mean on not budging with my stance of no way and that these names are not fantastic!

I vote Trent as big Nine Inch Nails fan and it's not common. There are too many Teddys and Tyson is a chavvy name for a bulldog.

Sapphire is a bit romance novel.
Saskia sounds like someone with a lisp.
Forgotten the other one.

What about Sasha?

😂😂😂

Fair play! Point well proved to him hopefully.

I'm so relieved to hear you definitely won't be going with Saint for a girl!

Jewelspun · 11/11/2023 18:25

boy
trent - hideous
teddy - it's a child not a toy.
tyson - it's a child not a boxer or a dog.

girls
sapphire - no just no.
saint - that has to be a joke.
saskia - I have a niece called Saskia and it's a lovely name.

Other than Saskia the rest sound like the four letter word that begins with c and ends in v style of names.

Mummapenguin20 · 11/11/2023 18:32

It was a no for all those names 🤣 some suggested names on here are lovely but I had a name I was set on and was open to compromising untill I was presented with that list 🤣🤣

catattacks · 11/11/2023 21:02

These are terrible options

Sorry

Chavvy

Daisybuttercup12345 · 11/11/2023 21:03

All awful except Saskia.
Please do not call anyone Saint!!!!

Samzzz · 11/11/2023 21:31

Teddy or Saskia or Saint for a boy. Really don’t like the others, sorry.
