my favourites are

Emily
Amelia
Madeline
Freya
Sofia but spelt Sophia

Oliver
Isaac
Alexander nn Xander

Favourites are Freya & (Ale)Xander.

I love Freya but it is very popular.
I like Emily, Amelia, Madeline, Sophia.
Grace is ok.
I don't like, Emilia, Skyla, Tayla or Ava.

Similar names that I prefer would be Faith, Eve, Eva, Emma, Anna, Amelie, Hanna, Erin.

I like Harry, Oliver, Isaac, Joeseph.
I don't mind Alexander/Xander but prefer just Alex.
I don't like Reuben, Ryden, Rylan, Elijah or Xavier( I know three girls called this)

What about Ryan, Robert, Rhys, James or Zachery.

I would say all of the names except Skyla, Ava, Reuban, Rylan and Rydan are popular.

You know girls called Elijah and Xavier... interesting.

I'm biased towards Xavier for obvious reasons. It all depends on how you are planning on pronouncing it, because if it's Ex-Ay-Vee-er
it's bloody awful.

Ava
Emily
Amelia
Emilia
Madeline
Freya
Sofia

All these girls names are nice.

Isaac
Ruben
Alexander nn Xander
Xavier
Elijah

And these are nice boys names.

I like Ava, Amelia, Freya and Sofia (prefer Sophia) and Madeline (prefer Madeleine).

Grace and Emily are a bit dull.

Skyla, Tayla Emilia are grim, the spellings are awful.

I like Isaac, Alexander, and Xavier (only if pronounced Zav-e-air)

Oliver, Harry, Joseph are very over used.

Ruben (prefer the Reuben spelling) and Elijah ? I?ve got a bit of an aversion to Old Testament names so not keen.

Rylan and Ryden sound made up.

I like Freya and Xavier best.

One Elijah and two Xaviers xavielli the Elijah has a sister called Cameron too.

As I said, interesting, and none of the meanings for those names can really be associated with one sex or the other.
Strange how we judge some names for boys and some for girls when their meanings don't indicate either way.

i like ava and harry best - but all are nice i think

Mind you, the girls name Safiya is pronounced exactly as we say Xavier. I hope people don't think thats his name But again, the meaning is very nice so shrug

I thought Xavier was "Hav-e-air"

It is in Spain/Mexico. More often spelt with a J if it's being pronounced that way.

Emily and Isaac are nice.

Ava and Alexander. Classic.

'Skyla' should be spelt either Skylar (Scandinavian) or Schuyler (Dutch, pronounced the same was as Skylar).

If you're going to give a child a 'different' name then at least spell it right! Same goes for 'Tayla' (Taylor, obviously)

Amelia, Joseph and Elijah are lovely.

You really don't want to know what I think of 'Tayla' and 'Ryden'.

Emily and Grace are lovely for girls.
My favourite of the boys names are Harry and Oliver.

I know a girl named Xavier. (pronounced zavier not X-avier like Xmen)

I like all of them

Like

Emily
Ava
Freya

Oliver
Isaac
Reuben -love it-but only if it's spelt Reuben, sorry!
