What do you think of these names?

[moryn]

We won’t be finding out the sex.

I have an uncommon name, and loved it growing up (and still do!). Same for my other family members.

Penelope (love, but getting a bit too popular? Also my sister is called Nell)
Indigo
Primrose
Callie (Calliope?)
Darla
Vivienne
Athena
Malin
Lilith
Rosaline

Evander
Koa
Sonny (love, but too popular now I think?)
Emory
Indy
Sacha
Ivah
Marley
Jesse

Also very open to suggestions! Thank you :)

I really like Koa.

Callista/Callisto (means most beautiful)
Amaury - medieval french boy name
Julian
Juliet
Frederick
Magnus
Fabian
Rosamund
Rosalie
Polina
Daphne
Gregory
Declan

I would like Penelope, Primrose and Rosaline and Evander and Sacha from you list. I would choose Indigo for a boy and Indie for a girl

Penelope (love, but getting a bit too popular? Also my sister is called Nell)love but no good if sister is Nel

Indigo not keen
Primrose love
Callie (Calliope?) not like
Darla not keen
Vivienne ok
Athena not like
Malin it’s a surname
Lilith just no
Rosaline love
Evander love also like Xander.
Koa absolutely not.
Sonny (love, but too popular now I think?)awful for an adult
Emory no, make me think of a girl’s name
Indy as above
Sacha as above
Ivah as above
Marley a dog’s name
Jesse dislike. Sounds like a girl’s name although I know it’s not.

primrose or Evander/Xander for me

I like Rosaline on your girls list. Athena is a lovely name, however it does seem to be getting more popular. In my daughter's reception class of 15 children there are 3 of them.

I love Emory on your boy's list

I like Vivienne and Sacha from your list.

I suggest Painter & Tanith

Penelope, Athena or Sacha, Marley. All the rest not keen on myself.

From your list I like Vivienne, Sonny and Jesse.

I like Vivienne and Rosalie from your girl's names and Sacha and Ivah from your boys (although I prefer Ivo).

Love Calliope and Indigo. Not keen on any of the boy names.

I love Penelope and like Callie and Vivienne.
Boys, I like Evander, Koa, Indy and Jesse.

Do you like Leonie, Elowen, Arwen, Elodie, Ottilie, Dahlia, Lilia, Adeline, Mali, Twyla, Marsha

Boys - Ivan, Vinnie, Cyrus, Silas, Dexter, Lucian, Monty, Orson, Soren, Calvin, Kyron, Arlen, Cian, Lenny, Howie, Sully

For a girl, I quite like Vivienne and Lilith. For the poster up thread, Malin is a girl’s name - Swedish/scandi. I’m just not sure Brits would pronounce it the right way (mah-lin).

Emory makes me think of a nail file - would you consider Emmett instead (means hard worker)?

Interesting list OP.

Penelope - I would avoid if you can't use Nell
Indigo - like, also Inigo for a boy
Primrose - I do like this, she could be Rose if she prefers something more mainstream when she grows up
Callie (Calliope?) - lovely
Darla - a bit American
Vivienne - nice
Athena - prefer Allegra
Malin - a bit plain sounding
Lilith - demonic and no
Rosaline - prefer Rosalind
Evander - nice, also like just Evan
Koa - err no
Sonny (love, but too popular now I think?) - no
Emory - board
Indy - 500
Sacha - a bit girly
Ivah - do you mean Ivan, which is lovelky
Marley - a horse/dog name
Jesse - a bit wet

Love calliope nn Callie, primrose nn Posie, Athena; Penelope ok but v popular. Not greatly fan of rest.

love evander. Jesse and Marley ok. Again nothing else does it for me.

I have two boys and both of their names are on your list!

I dislike all your boys names to be honest.

As for the girls...I love Athena but that's about it.

So many kids have unusual names nowadays....none of these would stand out as uncommon if that's what you're looking for.

We had Callie on our girls list

Koa I liked but it’s sort of taking off now on social media and I think will be a popular “influencer” type name so we ruled it out

I always wanted Sacha myself, but alas DH is a stickler and English is not first language so tends to veto any that aren’t traditional to his culture

I choose the middles though so don’t mind as much

Some that were considered :

Sylvia (F) Sylvan (M)
Casper / Caspian
Zephyr
Thoren / Theron
Aries / Ares
Math

Seraphina
Cira
Eris
Clover
Maren

I like Rosaline and Sacha.

i love Sacha

In my accent Ivah sounds identical to Ivor - so he would need to do a lot of correcting.

It’s not so much about standing out, but I’d prefer there not be multiple in their class etc.

You have excellent taste!

Some really love suggestions, thank you so much everyone! You have all given me much to think about.

Indigo
Primrose
Callie (Calliope?)
Darla
Vivienne
Athena
Malin
Lilith
Rosaline - the nicest of your girls names.
Evander
Koa
Sonny (love, but too popular now I think?)
Emory
Indy
Sacha
Ivah
Marley
Jesse - hideous.

All the boys names are too try hard.

I prefer Rosalind.
