Are you pregnant, @Pringlelover ?

I don't even like Reece for boys (reminds of of grease) so deffo not for a girl, but Reece and James are v much boys' names in the UK, so please don't - your daughter isn't a fun pet.

Avery is the nicest of the rest

Everley makes me think of batteries - Elodie maybe?

Aviana is OK, if frilly. Ariella might be better as Ari works as a shortform which Avi doesn't really

I hope not, because I think she might be pissed..

They are all either male names like Jesse or last names which have only fairly recently come into use as first names. Talk to me about Clara, Rose or Grace for boys.

May be life experience / age then? I’m 24 and went to school with a female Casey, Harley, and Ari so they’re ‘classic’ girl names to me and people in my area (that I would call a boy).

if you enjoy to be rude to strangers over a baby name forum and a difference of opinion, you may need to have a long hard look in the mirror.

It's spelt Rhys and it's a boys' name.

Aviana is a made-up name which reminds me of Avianca 052 which crashed when it ran out of fuel.

As a person with a dated male leaning unisex name, please don’t. It’s been the bane of my existence.

If I’m not having to explain that I’m a woman and not a man in every email, I get of my male friend/relative from [decade specific scanerio] has the same name!

It’s extremely tiresome.

You asked for opinions, @Pringlelover . Reece and James are boy's names. The other three seem more regular but similar to many overused currently popular names like Evie and Ava.
You seem quite unpleasant.

May I ask where I’ve been unpleasant?

I have no issue with people liking different names to me and I’ve responded politely to everyone?

The only person who I’ve maybe had an attitude with is the person who said I seem ‘pissed’ as I think attacking me personally over baby name opinions on a forum is odd, considering we are all here to share opinions?

If I was sensitive about opinions and going to argue about people having a different taste to me, I wouldn’t have posted the thread?

I agree it sounds like you wanted a boy. I wouldn’t want to be that child.
