Girls:
Willa - ambivalent. Given how much more popular Willow is now, I think this might get head as Willow said with a lazy accent.
Sophia - very pretty. Super popular but that's because it's a lovely name.
Phoebe - really like it.

Boys:
Jesse - love, love, love it. My favourite boys' name.
Otis - not keen. My brain adds 'the aardvark' to it and I can't even remember why!
Seth - not keen. Quite a harsh sound somehow.

I'd go for Phoebe and Jesse.

Phoebe and Jesse are v nice

I also quite like Seth

Sophia is way overdone and Otis and Willa too faddy and of the moment, and Willa a bit unfortunate if the girl doesn’t grow up willowy, I always think

Willa - If you like this, then Winona is better (yeah, Hollywood shoplifter Winona)
Sophie - I love Sophie but I love Sibylla more
Phoebe - so frumpy, try Venetia instead

Jesse - ugh, just ugh
Otis - a bit like Jesse but ugh, Bryan Ferry's son sort of urgh
Seth - a boy name I really really hate (what is to like?)

I quite like Willa.

They’re all very ‘of the moment’, except Phoebe, which was very popular as a result of Friends, so most are older.

What’s baby #1’s name? Our first was called Oscar which I think is quite traditional / classic.. so when it came to baby #2 even though we loved Arlo / Otis kind of names it didn’t ‘go’.. so we lent towards names like Jesse / Beau / Jude as they felt like they went better together. Jesse is my favourite from yours but it was my #1 name this time around.

We really struggled with girl names.. Phoebe seems to be getting popular again at the moment but I do love it. Willa I also like. Sophie I’m not keen on but I think it’s because every other girl in my school was called Sophie, Gemma or Jessica.
