Love Phoebe and Jesse, not so keen on Willa or Otis but it's all personal so go with what makes you both happy!

Cinai · 05/09/2024 10:18

Phoebe and Jesse are lovely, Sophia would be a close second for the girls.

Pemba · 05/09/2024 10:23

Sophia is beautiful, but there are too many already! Willa is awful, sorry. So that leaves Phoebe, which is nice.

I like all your boy names. I'd probably go for Seth.

KirstenBlest · 05/09/2024 10:27

Sophia is nice but it has been overused, and Sofia is also very popular.
Willa isn't my cut of tea but Willow is OK.
I like Phoebe.

I'm not keen on any of your boys' names but Jude and Otto are better.

Not that keen on any of the names But they are all perfectly acceptable names. I don't mind Seth. It's growing on me.

KirstenBlest · 05/09/2024 10:33

Winnie for a girl, Winston for a boy?

Firsttimebabymummy · 05/09/2024 10:33

Agree with this.

I like Sophia too but I know of quite a lot.

Pheobe and Jesse.

Oscar for boys? Jamie
Dont like Willa but i like Willow

Ardrahan · 05/09/2024 10:33

Willa and Jesse. I’ve developed a horror of names involving ‘th’ since living somewhere there ‘th’ is routinely pronounced as ‘f’. It doesn’t matter in ordinary speech, but there’s something about a name being deformed that’s more bothersome. Edif, Samanfa, Lilif, Garef, Feo, Faif…

nomud · 05/09/2024 10:34

Not Willa unfortunately as I can see some kids turning that into a bullying nickname.

lollyPaloozah · 05/09/2024 10:38

I love Willa and Jesse

not keen on Seth or Sophia

CookieMonster28 · 05/09/2024 10:52

I only like Willa from your girls names but I like all the boys names!

Of yiur girls' names I love Phoebe. Sophia is nice but a bit overused (if that's something you'd be concerned about). I dislike Willa as a standalone name (and it might be mosheard for Willow), but would be a cute nn for Wilhelmina.

Seth and Jesse are both nice. Otis is an aardvark to me (sorry op!) but no kids today would be familiar with 90s cbbc!

Sayingitstraight · 05/09/2024 13:53

Sophia is lovely but very popular, don't like any of your boys names.

Moreteaandchocolate · 05/09/2024 14:18

Phoebe and Sophia are lovely - I’d pick Phoebe as it’s less overused than Sophia. Willa sounds like Willy in our local accent!

Seth is my favourite of your boys names. Otis is quite nice too. Jesse sounds too feminine to me for a boy.

I really don't like Willa, but all the others are nice OP

MeowCatPleaseMeowBack · 05/09/2024 14:21

Willa is awful and she will be called willy.

Jesse and Seth are very 90s American names.

Phoebe and Sophia are nice.

Phoebe and Jesse
Willa and Otis

I love these four names. Especially as pairs 😄

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 06/09/2024 16:45

Willa and Seth are nice. If you like a nature vibe you might like similar Willow and Heath (and if you like Jesse for a boy, you might like Jessamine for a girl).

Sophia is lovely but very popular (when you combine with all the Sofia’s/ Sophie’s around too) - Ophelia, Serena, Selena, Cecilia and Celia might be other options. Sorry I’ve never liked the repeated “ee’s” in Phoebe. Ianthe and Felicity have the repeated “ee’s” but are nicer imo. Or Xanthe, Sylvie, Coralie?

Jesse I find too feminine but Jared or Caleb have similar US cowboy vibes?

Otis always sounds like a children’s tv character to me (a bit like Barney) so it’s not my taste - but If you like that “o” sound then Owen, Ivo and Jago are nice . Or Lewis if it’s the ending sound you want.

Heavenlyhoumous · 06/09/2024 19:14

Love Phoebe and all of your boys names, Jesse especially.

Bedtime91 · 06/09/2024 19:53

I love Willa, it was also on my list along with Hedda. We went with Stella in the end
