I am half italian hence some of the names...

[amile]

Gabriella and Luca are my faves

do not like Arlo

Sofia - prefer Sophia, but it's a beautiful name none-the-less
Gabriella - Lovely name. Was on my list for dd3 but I was put of by the HSM connection (dd1 and dd2 big HSM fans!!)
Holly - Pretty, but I always think if it as a Christmas name??
Isabella - Lovely. Also on my list for dd3
Millie - My favourite on your list! I love the name Millie
Leila - Don't like this.

The only one I don't like is Leila. My fav is Millie, but I like all the rest

Boys:
Oscar
Luca
Leonardo
Arlo

Oscar is nice. Luca is OK. I don't like the others.

I love Luca but that's ds's name so I'm biased, also love Arlo too.

I like Sofia and Gabriella on the girls side. My sister has a Millie and an Isabella but there are tons of them about. Not a problem if you don't mind, very pretty names.

Girls:
Sofia - quite nice
Gabriella - hsm connection, not good
Holly - quite nice
Isabella - like it
Millie - quite nice
Leila - nice

Boys:
Oscar - ok
Luca - quite nice
Leonardo - nope
Arlo - nope

Isabella and luca. Also like millie, though you might want to give her a longer version for grown up use, Amelia for example (just think if she turns out to be chief political correspondent of the Beeb she might want a bit of gravitas to her name)

Gabriella and Luca are my favourties although Arlo and Leila could be up there too

Don't like Holly - never have sorry

all the others are fine nothing wrong with them (although Isabellas and Millies are taking over the world a little bit along with ellies/ellas)

Just occured to me Gabriella could be shorterned to Ella - please don't! i know atleast 10 ella/ellies under 10 - and a fair few teenagers too. Lovely, but as someone who was one of 5 in their year at secondary it's not fun!!

Leave it as Gabriella if you use it

Sofia and Luca win by a mile these are my top 2! I also like Gabriella, which is beautiful, but it's a bit 'ella ella ella' bleugh. Have you considered Gabriel or Lucian/Luciano for a boy?

Girls:
Sofia - lovely much prefer this spelling to the "ph" one. Strong and Feminine
Gabriella - Love it. My fave.
Holly - name for westies
Isabella - lovely but too common.
Millie - bland.
Leila - ok name but prefer the Laila spelling.

Boys:
Oscar - done to death. Also "the grouch"
Luca - gorgeous. Stand out favourite.
Leonardo - hmm not sure.Leo is a dull nn.
Arlo - unusual and cool. Would be great on a kid and an adult.

i quite like them all tbh

my faves from girls list are isabella, leila and millie

my faves from boys list oscar and leonardo (i like leon for short)

From your list I like:

Gabriella
Sofia
Don't like Holly or Leila at all, and Isabella is soo popular/common...

and

Leonardo
Arlo
I don't like Oscar and find Luca feminine sounding....

I actually like almost all of them which is unusual!

Girls:
Sofia - Classy and lovely.
Gabriella - Like this one the most. Gorgeous name.
Holly - A bit 1980's and cute for my taste.
Isabella - Lovely but very popular. Too popular imo.
Millie - This is the only one I dislike, it's a mousey little name and it's a nickname not a name.
Leila - Also very nice, always think it's a name for a dark haired, dark eyed girl though.

Boys:
Oscar - I like it. Not fab, but nice.
Luca - Love.
Leonardo - Very cool.
Arlo - I bit try hard, like it the least of your boys names.

So Luca and Gabriella are my faves.

Sofia, Gabriella and Isabella are my favourites from your girl's choices.

I like Oscar and Luca. Leonardo makes me think of Ninja Turtles but perhaps that's very specific to my age. Arlo's a bit nothingy imo.

Girls:
Sofia - prefer Sophie
Gabriella - prefer Gabrielle
Holly - ok
Isabella - don't like, Isabel is nicer IMO but even that I'm not a fan of
Millie - no - sounds too "little girl"y
Leila -ok

Boys:
Oscar - nope, everyone seems to call their sons Oscar
Luca - yes, this is nice...Luke and Lucas also nice
Leonardo - prefer Leonard or Leo
Arlo - ok

The girls names sound too little girly ending in "-ie" and "-a" and maybe as an adult I wouold prefer to have a stronger name insytead of a girly girl one.
Just my peronsal opinion - you did ask!
Same with Luca instead of Luke or Lucas - it sounds weaker ending in "-a" than if it had a stronger end IYKWIM

Girls:
Sofia-prefer Sophia but it is very popular at the moment.
Gabriella-lovely
Holly-best for a winter baby.
Isabella -lovely
Millie-only if short for something e.g. Amelia
Leila-No

Boys:
Oscar-Not keen
Luca-No
Leonardo-OK with Italian connection.
Arlo-don't like it at all.

Girls:
Sofia - pretty but quite common
Gabriella - like it
Holly - agree for a winter baba!
Isabella - gorgeous but common
Millie - nope
Leila - not if she's blonde as it means dark

Boys:
Oscar - nah, not too keen
Luca - one of my fave names
Leonardo - not bad, I like the short form Leo
Arlo - too many twilight connections for me!

Sofia - lovely
Gabriella - lovely
Holly - nah, common
Isabella - too popular
Millie - common
Leila - lovely

Boys:
Oscar - common
Luca - nice but oh so popular
Leonardo - lovely
Arlo - OK

Leonardo and Leila/Sofia/Gabriella my faves.

Love leila and Luca if it helps!! Good luck x

Sofia & Luca are my faves

sofia and luca both great (only don't like millie or Arlo...or oscar, we almost called ds2 it but I hear it everywhere and dont like it anymore!..saying that he eventually got called a really common name but it suits him!)

Love Millie or Milly, but probably cos I know a lovely one! My friend has struggled as due her 3rd in June, 1st boy! She has finally decided on Joel, cute too!

Sofia - fab
Gabriella - fab
Holly - ditto comments about Christmas links
Isabella - fab
Millie - very, very popular
Leila - don't like, sorry!

Boys:
Oscar - good
Luca - lovely
Leonardo - not sure, prefer Leo
Arlo - never heard of it but could be quite cool?

Along the same lines have you considered:
Elena (my absolute favourite but didn't suit my DD when she was born...)
Francesca
Rafaela
Maddalena
Chiara
Lucia

like Oscar and I have a Millie so i'm biased but if you had a Millie and she was half as special as mine you'd be very lucky!(yes cheesy and gushy but true IMO) lol xx
