Names I like - opinions or similar suggestions?

[MissBxx]

Should start by saying I'm still TTC so not yet expecting I just love reading other peoples baby name lists❤️

Boys:
Lenny - Lennon or Lennox maybe to make it less nicknamey
Maddox
Jude
Cassius
Monroe

Girls:
Lenny/Lennie - Lennon or Lenora maybe
Mabel
Mila - pronounced m-ee-la
Alma
Monae
Rudie
Darla
Betsy

I like all your boys names.

I'm not keen on Monae or Alma or Darla. I like Carla or Mona / Ramona as alternatives maybe.
The Rudi I know is a boy (short for Rudolph). I prefer Ruby.

Rudie and Monae are awful.

I quite like Mabel

Why Lennon or Lennox, why not Leonard? Do you like surnames as first names?
Maddox and Mila

Cassius from your boys' list and Mabel or Mila from the girls'.

I know a boy Rudi but no girls.
Remy/Remi is another similar name that can be a boy or a girl?

Cassius and Betsy.

I'm afraid the others aren't really up mu cup of tea, so no suggestions of similar/

Isn't Maddox a girl's name? Or did Brangelina use it for one of their boys?

I like Jude, Cassius and Mila from your list.

I like Lenny, Jude and Cassius for boys and Darla and Mabel for girls.

Love Lenny (longer versions ok but prefer Leonard)
also Jude and Cassius.

like Mabel and Betsy, Leni but again for longer names prefer Helena, Penelope, Valentina

Monae?!!?!?

Boys:
Lenny (Lennon or Lennox) - Lenny is ok. I don't like the other two. Leonard and Lennard are ok.
Maddox - not keen. Mad dogs
Jude - popular
Cassius - ok
Monroe - dreadful

Girls:
Lenny/Lennie - no to both.
Lennon - dreadful
Lenora - ok, a bit fabric conditionery
Mabel - not keen, frumpy
Mila - not keen.
Alma - ok
Monae - awful
Rudie - even worse than Monae
Darla - sounds too much like Arla
Betsy - I like it

Cassius and Betsy.
Your taste is somewhat unusual.

I like Cassius and Leonard.
I like Lenora and Betsy

Others
Leon
Caspar
Darcy

Elula
Leonore
Chelsy

Monae, Rudie, and Darla are not names I'd choose.

The rest of your lists are nice. I especially like Lennox/ Lennon shortened to Lenny or Leni.

Boys:
Lenny - Lennon or Lennox maybe to make it less nicknamey - both nice
Maddox no
Jude ok but I personally dislike
Cassius lovely
Monroe no
Girls:
Lenny/Lennie - Lennon or Lenora maybe Lenora lovely
Mabel - nice if you don’t mind popular
Mila - pronounced m-ee-la - nice if you don’t mind popular
Alma - I think it’s ugly
Monae no
Rudie - bad enough for a boy, let alone a girl
Darla - ok but not to my taste
Betsy - Elizabeth is lovely

Most of these are grand, but please don't call your son Monroe or your daughter Lennon or Rudie

It is weird to name a boy after a name so strong associated with Marilyn M or a girl one so closely associated with the Beatle or a male Reindeer. And please don't call her Monae (what?!) either

My favourites from your list are Cassius (with Jude second) and Mabel (with Betsy second).

I'm going to buck the trend and say I like Darla. My favourite of your boys list is Cassius

Lenora/Lennie is awesome for a girl. Have a look at Joe Wicks’ kids names - similar vibe

I think they’re Indie, Leni, Marley and not sure on the other one.
Also you might like Bonnie

Don't choose monae if you live in the Black Country
