I like Libby and Hope from your girls list and Isabel is ok but that's all. The others are too American and too obviously influenced by American culture - it might work over there but it just doesn't here.

I like Luca and Lucas from the boys but not keen on the others.

I think our tastes are polar opposites so probably not much point in me making any suggestions !

ooohhhh nice names.

not sad at all - me and dp get excited about baby names all the time and we aren't trying yet. though he would hate most of the names on your list - not that it matters what he thinks cos what does he know

EachPeachPearMum · 30/12/2008 16:46

I like Hope, Isabel, Libby (would have Elizabeth as full name though) and Tahlia is nice.

I don't like boys' names beginning with "K" so that rules all of the others out I'm afraid.

LiffeyValleyOfTheDolls · 30/12/2008 16:53

ps, I like Libby. Malia is ok, one of Barack Obama's dds' names. Talia reminds me of labia

Leo9 · 30/12/2008 17:08

Libby, Hope and Isabel are nice names with a bit of class. The others are the complete opposite!

Luca, I like - and also Marcus. The others, if you'll allow me to say so, are awful

Wolfblass · 30/12/2008 18:09

Kibby and Hope are my faves from your list = love Isabel too (although i prefer spelling Isobel)

Love Lucas

MrsMattie · 30/12/2008 18:14

Girls names:

I like Thalia (prefer it spelled that way)
Aibhlin is nice, but isn't it pronounced Eve-lyn, just spelled the Gaelic way?

I also like:

Alaia
Libby
Hope (lovely)

Not keen on others and don't like any of your boy's names, sorry (especially the last one - sounds totally made up)

SmilePlease · 30/12/2008 18:41

NAMES I LIKE:

  • Libby
  • Alaia

and not keen on any of your boys name.

AND PLEASE NOT MILEY! Especially at the height of the Miley Cyrus craze.
