I prefer the more classic names to the very American ones.

For a bit I like Leon best, Dylan second choice.

For a girl I like Clara best, Cassia second choice.

Reece and Kendall are my least faves.

StellaCruella · 19/08/2024 14:31

I like Ryan and Leon, love Clara.

A lot of the names on the list have had their day imo.

Roseanne is too aligned with Roseanne Barr and Ashton with Ashton Kutcher for me.

SummerSplashing · 19/08/2024 14:31

I like Chloe & Clara & Georgina if NN Georgie/George not if no nickname or Gina.

DoorOpening · 19/08/2024 14:32

Leon or Lucas, and Chloe or Cassie. I don’t like any of the others - sorry - personal taste.

StellaCruella · 19/08/2024 14:32

Nn Gina I love actually. Gina is due a comeback.

ClaudiaWankleman · 19/08/2024 14:32

Quite a few of them are names I associate with children who are now 6-9 years old. But that isn't really an issue.

BobbyBiscuits · 19/08/2024 14:33

I like Liam. And Carys. But I prefer Cerys.
Not mad on the others.

Strawberrycheesecake7 · 19/08/2024 14:34

I like Ethan and Chloe. Rhys is one of my favourite names but I hate the spelling Reece.

Chewbecca · 19/08/2024 14:36

Ashton the only one I know is a total dick so no
Austin nice - best on the list
Dylan nice but magic roundabout spoilt it
Ethan nice but there are a lot of them
Jordan naughty kid
Leon ok
Lewis naughty kid
Liam naughty kid
Lucas prefer Luke
Reece feels a little dated
Ryan could be a naughty kid

Girls names:
Ava - nice but a lot of them
Carys - very nice but a Welsh connection is preferable
Cassia - bark
Cassie - would prefer a fuller name
Chloe - lovely, though leans 80s
Clara - best on the list
Georgina - very 80s
Jasmine - ok
Kelsey - back to yhe naughty kids' names
Kendall - definitely a naughty kid
Macey - in the naughty kids gang
Madison - she's in it too

GlitchStitch · 19/08/2024 14:37

Love Georgina, and all the nicknames too. Definitely my favourite of the girls names.

Lulubellamozarella · 19/08/2024 14:41

I like Liam and Carys. Both of them are my DC's names!! 😂Carys is fairly unique and despite it being a Welsh name, and we live in Wales, there are not that many others with the same name. Most are Cerys and not Carys. When she was younger she was Cass or Cassie and now she is 18 all her friends call her Caz which she prefers. But its a name that has grown with her and she loves it.

And also my female whippet is called Clara! 😁

50shadedofmagnolia · 19/08/2024 14:42

I like Leon and Clara best x

RedWinePoliticsAndHair · 19/08/2024 14:46

Please don't call your baby Kendall. We have one in the family and upon hearing of the newborns name, my cousin retorted "Ah, Kendall-Mint Baby!" The girl is about four now but this has very much stuck and that's still going to be what everyone's calling her when she's 35.

SossijRoll · 19/08/2024 14:56

Ava is so overused it’s become dull especially if she’s just another Ava-May/Grace/Rose.

Clara, Jasmine and Cassie are nice although I prefer Callie.

Boys I like Ashton and Reece.

DramaAlpaca · 19/08/2024 15:11

I strongly dislike Ethan, and I prefer Reece spelled Rhys.

I like the rest of the boys' names.

Of the girls' names, the only ones I like are Clara, Georgina, Rosanna and Jasmine.

shoopshoopdedoo · 19/08/2024 16:28

really not a fan of Macey, Kelsey and Kendall- find them downmarket.

Liam & Georgina for me
