@miniaturepixieonacid , that's because it was a boy's name until recently.
It's not much used for boys or girls.

To paraphrase a MN phrase, 'It's unpopular for a reason'.

Firsttimemama094 · 25/06/2024 13:38

Thanks All.

Any suggestions on boys names, I tend to prefer traditional or unpopular but not unheard of names as my taste isnt very out there.

I think there are so many pretty girls names but really struggling for boys x

Here are some of my favourites:

Vincent
Quentin
Magnus
Thorsten

Alfred (I'd go Fred) John
Pippa Florence

Of all the names you have suggested I like Vincent the best for a boy, and I like May for a girl.

Redberies · 25/06/2024 15:49

Archie, Alfie and Oliver are way overused and dull imo.

FayCarew · 25/06/2024 16:58

Philip, Timothy, Fraser, Benjamin

stressedespresso · 26/06/2024 01:37

Oliver Vincent and Pippa Florence are absolutely beautiful - my favourites by far

There lovely names 😊 a few I cant use because of friends/family babies.

My style is mostly classic or vintage.

OP posts:
FayCarew · 21/09/2024 18:13

Penny - ok, usually short for Penelope, which is nice
Florence - ok, not keen on Flo or Florrie
Harriet - love it and Hattie
Ayla - really don't like it

Archie - too popular, esp for dogs
Vincent - Vince and Vinnie are awful
Lewis - like

Concretejungle1 · 21/09/2024 18:24

I like Harriet, but then i really liked aubrey!

PadstowGirl · 21/09/2024 18:25

Oliver and Willow or Pippa

17caterpillars1mouse · 21/09/2024 21:43

I really like Pippa

Firsttimemama094 · 21/09/2024 22:45

I love pippa but my partner doesnt and for some reason iv gone off willow, I feel like it might be abit of trend.

Do you have any suggestions for either gender?x

Hiya . . . . your lists are lovely

Personally, I don't like the names Axel or Aubrey but all the other names are lovely

If I had to choose my favourite for a boy I would select

Archie John

I would have more trouble with the girls names as they are all lovely

Funny isn't it how we all like different things. I like Axel and Aubrey the best from your lists!

Hohofortherobbers · 21/09/2024 23:44

To mix it up a bit
Vincent John
Sophia Grace

Love Vincent, Vinny, Vince

wizzler · 21/09/2024 23:57

Archie John Brennan and Martha Grace Brennan

urbanbuddha · 22/09/2024 01:27
