Same.
Joshua is good too. I really love William. The girls' names are all lovely, apart from Piper, which makes me think of someone playing the bagpipes.

DramaAlpaca · 26/08/2024 15:49

My favourites are James and Sophia.

I also like Joshua, Oliver and Olivia.

The only names on your list I strongly dislike are Piper and Parker.

Stirmish · 26/08/2024 15:49

I like them all

At a push I'd choose Joshua and Sophia

I love the names Parker and Piper but they don't really work in the UK

Augustisnearlydonesogoodbyesun · 26/08/2024 15:50

Surname initial may be relevant..

ChickenandaCanofCoke · 26/08/2024 15:52

James and Olivia

MissScarletInTheBallroom · 26/08/2024 15:53

Not Heath, Parker or Piper.

Lemongrassandcamomile · 26/08/2024 15:54

James and either Chloe or Sophia.

James and Joshua both go well with the middle name William.

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 26/08/2024 15:57

James and Margot. I dislike Piper and Parker.

Mumofgirls2017 · 26/08/2024 16:56

Heath and piper, but james and Margot if I’m playing it safer!

BurbageBrook · 26/08/2024 17:11

Not Heath, Margot or Parker. Dislike all of those. Like all of the others.

ClaudiaWinklepanda · 26/08/2024 17:13

I love Heath, but not keen on any of your girl names. I love Liv but not really Olivia.

GoodVibesHere · 26/08/2024 17:14

Heath is awful! I like James and Sophia.

Absolutely agree

Firebird83 · 26/08/2024 17:52

James and Sophia

Comedycook · 26/08/2024 17:54

I like all your boys names except Parker

All girls names are nice except Margot and Piper imo. I especially like Chloe.

marshmallowfinder · 26/08/2024 18:10

Joshua and Chloe.

Not margot as it looks like maggot.

shoopshoopdedoo · 26/08/2024 18:12

James and Sophia.

I like Joshua, Oliver, Chloe and Olivia.

Dislike Heath, Parker, Margot and Piper. Especially the P names!

SnapBang · 26/08/2024 18:46

Ohhhh Heath is handsome. Girls names are all a bit blahhhhh for me. Parker is horrid.

Squiginawig · 26/08/2024 18:47

Heath and Piper would be my choice

Waterboatlass · 26/08/2024 19:02

Joshua or James and Sophia or Margot (although I prefer Margaret personally).

Only ones I think are really unpleasant are Parker and Piper. Not being rude but would you honestly want to be called Parker? Such a harsh sound for a first name.

Waterboatlass · 26/08/2024 19:03

Joshua and Sophia if I have to pick one of each

Rory17384949 · 26/08/2024 19:06

Joshua and Margot are my favourites

WaitinginVain · 26/08/2024 19:10

Definitely Heath.
Sophia and Olivia are both nice but have been used a lot.

KirstenBlest · 26/08/2024 20:15

Heath/Oliver/James/Joshua/Parker
potentially middle name William

Sophia/Olivia/Chloe/Margot/Piper

In order: James, Oliver, Joshua
In order: Olivia, Sophia, Chloe - all overused. Chloe seems dated.

I don't like the other names.
