Hooray I have my shortlists, opinions needed!!

[esmeraldasmith]

sorry they're a bit boring

Estella
Tess
Matilda
Catherine
Milly
Alexandra
Isabel

Noah
Felix
Leon
George
Oscar
Finlay

My initial reaction would be Milly or Isobel and George or Oscar! Some lovely names though. Good luck! Xx

I adore Milly & Isabel, Noah & Oscar

The only girls one I really like is Matilda and the boys I like Oscar and Felix.

Girls - Alexandra and Tess are both gorgeous. Milly, Matilda, Isabel - a bit played out in current times, but that may not bother you? Catherine - not to my taste, but classic.

Boys - Really don't like any of them but Leon, sorry!

Oh - like Estelle or Estrella, but Estella sounds a bit made up.

I like Milly but it is getting quite well used.

i would go for Isobel and Matilda or George and Oscar

Estella - don't like it
Tess - like it
Matilda - like it
Catherine - like it
Milly - like it
Alexandra - LOVE it
Isabel - meh

Noah - yes
Felix - yes if you're a bit posh
Leon - yes
George - yes
Oscar - yes
Finlay - bit "now" imo

Love:
Tess
Matilda
Catherine
Alexandra - wanted this for my dd but overruled by dh
Isabel

Only really like Noah from boys names. Used to love Finlay but now all I think of is the fire engine!

Estella - NO, don't like
Tess - Like it
Matilda - Don't like
Catherine - OK
Milly - No way
Alexandra - Love it
Isabel - Like it

Noah = No, too trendy
Felix - No, too weird
Leon = Yes, like it
George - Not bad
Oscar - Not bad
Finlay - a bit trendy

Matilda
Isabel

Felix

Like Matilda and Alexandra for the girls.

Noah, George and Finlay for the boys.

Matilda, shortened to Tilly. Much prefer "proper" names to abbreviations as given names.

Oscar for a boy.

this is my order of preference

1. milly (i LOVE it)
2. isabella (cause i dont like isabel)
3. catherine
4. estella
5. alexandra
6. Tess
7. matilda

1. finlay
2. felix
3. noah
4. oscar
5. leon
6. george

Estella - Dont really like
Tess - Is ok but sounds astho its short for something
Matilda- Might get shortened to Tilly
Catherine- Ok bit old fashioned imo.
Milly- is ok, not great
Alexandra- nice, i like it shortened to Alex for a girl.
Isabel- Dont like , also there are too many around.

Noah- Dont like
Felix-Cat
Leon- HATE
George -Nice
Oscar- dont like
Finlay - I like this one but prefer it spelt Finley.

This is only my opinion i dont mean to offend anyone.

like Estelle......but that is my dd name and still quite unusual thankfully. but Estella is a bit of a strange version

Like Noah too

Why not go for Theresa and Matilda shortened to Tess and Milly to give her more options?

Estella - really don't like.
Tess - lovely.
Matilda - don't like this.
Catherine - lovely and love Cate as nn.
Milly - gorgeous! but prefer the spelling Millie
Alexandra - like alexandra and nn ali. absolutely can't stand the nn alex!
Isabel - lovely. very popular.

Noah - don't like this.
Felix - really like felix.
Leon - don't like this.
George - great name!
Oscar - like this.
Finlay - really don't like this.

My favourites from your list are Milly or Isabel for a girl and George, Felix or Oscar for a boy.

think they are all lovely. Only thing I;d say is that Isabel is really really popular a the moment and she is likely to be one of 4 or 5 in any given class in the future!
