I have been gathering opinions on this forum for a while now and find it very difficult to understand which names are considered nice and lovely… would you please name three of your favorites?
Modern and not overused. Thank you

Gabriel
Kit
George
Isaac
Samuel
Joseph
Inigo
Ezra

I wouldn't get any of those past my husband other than George and Samuel though

Ezra is beautiful but one has to have a courage for this name)))

I wish I had called my son Alex (ander) it’s strong, timeless and classless. I also wish I had called my daughter Alex (andra) for similar reasons, it would have suited her so well

I so agree with the poster who said she probably would not get many of the names past her DH.
Very true. Husbands could feel much empathy for boys with weird unusual names.
And there's the 'no way, I knew an X at school - he was a total wanker,' response.

Can I ask you how did you call your kids and why do you regret?
