I have 2 names shortlisted for a girl and 2 shortlisted for a boy. I find out on Monday what I am having and really excited!
The 2 girl names are Kinza and Alizée.
The 2 boy names are Noah and Isaac.
Honest opinions please?

Alizee or Isaac

NuffSaidSam · 18/06/2025 19:24

I like both the boys names. I think I prefer Isaac.

I don't like either of the girls names. If I had to choose one I'd go for Alizee. But I really would urge you to go back to the drawing board with the girls names.

Moreteaandchocolate · 18/06/2025 19:36

Noah and Isaac are both lovely but I’d pick Isaac as Noah is very popular round me.

I prefer Kinza from your girls names - I haven’t heard it before but it’s pretty and easy to spell / pronounce. Alizee I would assume French heritage - it feels a bit pretentious if not to me.

Koazy · 18/06/2025 19:39

Assuming you’re French I’d go Alizee

AcquadiP · 18/06/2025 19:40

Sorry, I'm not a fan of either of the female names. I like both of the male names but would choose Isaac

BoleynMemories13 · 18/06/2025 20:33

I love both of your boy names, I can't choose a favourite.

I also can't choose a favourite from your girl list but for different reasons, they're as far away from my taste as you can get I'm afraid.

ninjahamster · 18/06/2025 20:37

Love your boys names, not keen on your girl choices.

MoochyMooch · 18/06/2025 20:38

I think they are all great names. That’s not very helpful of me.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 18/06/2025 20:41

Boy names both lonely but 'd go for Isaac as it is more unusual in my experience.

Girl names? Kinza is hideous so it would HAVE to be Alizée, but that's not too great either. What's wrong with Kelly or Alice?

mathanxiety · 18/06/2025 20:41

Alizee and Isaac are both lovely.

mathanxiety · 18/06/2025 20:44

"What's wrong with Kelly or Alice?"

She clearly prefers Kinza or Alizee.
Kelly is a dreadful name.

Plantladylover · 18/06/2025 20:46

both boys lovely
don't like either of the girls. unless you are french and they make sense to you

Theextraordinaryisintheordinary · 18/06/2025 20:52

Both boys names are lovely. Girls names feel too busy/clumsy (sorry) for me to choose one.

Thewalrusandthecarpenter · 18/06/2025 20:58

Alizee and Isaac.

KnickerlessParsons · 18/06/2025 21:19

SchnizelVonKrumm · 18/06/2025 19:21

Alizee or Isaac

I don’t like any of them (is Kinza a name?) but these are the best

Same here.

Sadiemum3 · 18/06/2025 21:32

Alizee and Noah.

Mumofgirls2017 · 18/06/2025 22:49

Alizee and Isaac 👍

BootballJoy · 18/06/2025 22:49

The boys' names are a totally different style to the girls' names.

Noah and Isaac are not my style but are perfectly acceptable, very popular names. Part of the Old Testament (?) trend along with Reuben, Ezra, Josiah, Isaiah, Elijah, Ezekiel, Jonah, Gabriel, Abel etc. They won't be the only one with their name in school etc.

I've never heard of the girls names, they also aren't my taste and are far less known in the UK anyway.

NoVibrato · 19/06/2025 01:02

Alicia is more charming to my ear than Alizee (which actually sounds as if you're gussying up Elise); Kinza sounds like faux name suggestive of somewhere in Africa or a new class one takes at the gym, but may of course be truly a name from one of the African countries, in which case I apologize.

crumblingschools · 19/06/2025 01:10

Very different style between boys and girls names. Prefer the boys names

Needmorelego · 19/06/2025 01:17

I like Alizee and Noah.

DeSoleil · 19/06/2025 03:37

Girls names are awful.

Noah out of the two boys names.

Zebralie · 19/06/2025 07:31

I don’t like your boys names - Noah is overused and Isaac can get teased with I suck.

I love Alizée - beautiful name.

marshmallowpuff · 19/06/2025 07:33

I really like Alizée, and prefer Isaac over Noah.
