bluesnowfalcon's baby name shortlist

[bluesnowfalcon]

Here's the shortlist of baby names I like. Let me know what you think.

Boys
Alfie, Charlie, Jay, Kai, Morgan, Zak

Girls
Hollie, Jessica, Leah, Samantha, Taya, Taylor

Alfie or Charlie are nice. Kai isn't a real name. Zak is usually short for Zachary or Isaac. Morgan and Jay are a bit bland.

Hollie, Jessica and Leah are nice. Samantha will be Sam/Sammie straight away. Taya - sounds made up. Taylor - a surname.

I love Charlie and Leah.
Hollie is pretty but makes me think of christmas.
Jessica is quite nice too.

Boys
Alfie...bit too recent and popular, bit 'babyish'

Charlie., may get 'chaz'..not keen, too popular too

Jay.....not keen, boring

Kai....OK

Morgan...don't like

Zak...like it, short and sharp/cool. Yu don't have to have Zachary, most don't these days.

Girls
Hollie...OK

Jessica...love this

Leah...like it

Samantha...like it but abit 70s/80s. Will get Sam.

Taya...love it

Taylor...dislike.

The only ones I like are Charlie and Jessica. Both really lovely names. Oh and Zak is nice too actually. Others, not keen.

The only ones I like are Kai (it is indeed a boys' name!) and Taya.

Alfie - too babyish
Charlie - prefer Charles
Jay - boring
Kai - nice
Morgan - common/chav
Zak - very 'now' so likely to be many of them around. Would use Zachary on bc.

Hollie - a bit too 'little girly'
Jessica - ok
Leah - don't like
Samantha - don't like Sam
Taya - nice
Taylor - don't like ane a little common/chav

Most your boys suggestions are very 'trendy' at the moment so on that basis I wouldn't choose any of them personally - I prefer more traditional, classic names.

Of your girls list, I like Hollie/Holly and Taya, although the latter may get mispronounced ....

i don't really like Kai or Morgan. the others are ok, but a bit popular atm for my liking. the'yre nice names though.,

like all the girls names, particularly Leah and Taylor

Boys
Alfie - like but very of the moment if this bothers you
Charlie- really like, a classic
Jay - good strong boys name
Kai - bit too trendy for my taste
Morgan - Feels to me like an American name
Zak- really like but is going to be very popular

Girls
Hollie - really pretty name, love
Jessica- again really pretty
Leah- really like but it means weary one which puts me off
Samantha - Am a big Sex in the City fan so this puts me off this name!!
Taya - don't like, makes me think of chavs
Taylor- again makes me think of chavs

Alife [although a bit popular]
Morgan is lovely

Hollie and I like Taya

I like Alfie and Charlie, but only as nick-names for Alfred and Charles. Would be hard to take an adult Alfie/Charlie seriously (IMHO).
Love Holly and Jessica and Samantha is actually pretty cool in a slightly retro kind of way - makes me think Bewitched!
Taya and Taylor sound chavvy to me- sorry.
Leah I'm rather ambivelant about.

Kai is actually Welsh, but it should be spelled Cai.

sorry, not really liking any of them but holly is sweet.

Alfie, I love don't think it is babyish, theres still lots of old men called Alfie it is very popular though.
Charlie, also love but very popular.
Jay, not keen, I know a few Jays who are really called John but want to appear cool.I prefer James/Jamie.
Kai is very popular and is a name but should be spelled Cai IMO.
Morgan is nice(I live in Wales though) I only think its 'common' for a girl tbh.Who could call Morgan Freeman chavvy?
Zak is ok, I think its a bit 90's though, makes me think of Saved by the Bell.
Hollie, I like.
Jessica is lovely.
Leah, I really like.
Samantha, I know what Bubbaluv means but it always makes me think page3.
Taya, don't know sounds a bit made up.
Taylor, don't like sorry.

Alfie, Charlie and Zak are all ok. Not keen on the others

Jessica and Hollie are nice - don't like others

Only Jessica and Charlie.
I would like Holly if it was spelt correctly.
Not the rest.

Kai means food in Maori.

I go with what Piscesmoon says.

Charlie is the best boys name; Leah is the prettiest girls name.

Alfie Charlie & Zak OK but prefer as nn for Alfred, Charles and Zachary or Isaac

Hollie OK but prefer spelling Holly, Jessica v nice, Leah v nice, Samantha OK

don't like the others sorry.

Personally I think Morgan is a girl's name as in the evil witch in the Arthurian legends

Boys
Alfie - bleh, it's nice but dull
Charlie- middling
Jay - my favourite of your list
Kai - prefer it as Cai, but ok
Morgan - hideous
Zak- dull

Girls
Hollie - much nicer as Holly
Jessica- very sweet
Leah- sounds like 'leer' in my head
Samantha - Sam/Sammy put me off
Taya - not my bag
Taylor- also not my bag
