of each name!

BOYS

Archie
Lucas
Charlie
Dylan
Isaac
Bailey

Isla
Ella
Mae
Esmae
Skye
Leila

I like Archie and Isaac for boys and Isla and Leila for girls - as that pronounced Layla or Lie-la? Both boys names quite popular but that wouldn't bother me.

Archie - nice, but all of the Archies I know are a bit naughty!
Lucas - lovely
Charlie - I don't like too much.
Dylan - love love love. if only my DH did too, as we are due ds2 in 7 weeks!
Isaac - not too keen
Bailey - not fussed either way

Isla - love
Ella - neither her nor there, don't really like, don't dislike
Mae - OK - same as Ella really
Esmae - OK, but can't get my head around the spelling
Skye / Leila - not keen on

Archie, love
Lucas, ok
Charlie, love
Dylan, love
Isaac, love
Bailey, dont like

Isla, ok
Ella, love
Mae, ok
Esmae, ok
Skye, dont like
Leila, dont like

I like them all apart from

Bailey (sounds like a girl's name to me)

Esmae (weird spelling of Esme?)

and

Leila (can't help thinking of Leila Morse on Eastenders)

Archie-like this

Lucas- not so keen

Charlie-like it also for a girl

Dylan-like this

Isaac-my favourite

Bailey-its my dogs name so can't really take it seriously .

Isla-very pretty
Ella-not keen

Mae-love it

Esmae-don't like it

Skye-my favourite also like it for a boy

Leila-sounds porn-starish.

Thanks, keep going with the honest opinions. I have no idea how these more modern names are perceived so interesting to hear the dog name/porn star and other comments.

I like all the boys names, except Bailey. They are all fairly popular (I have a Charlie)

Girls :

I like Isaa, Mae and Skye

Instead of Leila, what about

Lara or

Lyra ?

Don't like Archie (missed that one out)

You obviously don't like nicknames? Although most of those names actually are nicknames for something else. So people will ask you "Is Ella short for something?" etc.

I really don't like Esmae (or Esme, even). Just a personal opinion!

Of the boy choices I only really warm to Isaac. Ella and Mae are ok, I don't rate the others.

I like Archie but prefer Richie and I like Lucas but prefer Marcus.

Esme or Leila are the best girl names.

Boys names not my cup of tea at all, I'm afraid (not that that matters one jot).

Like Isla and Mae.

I like MAE and Issac

What about Delilah with Isla for short.?? Isla is lovely but it seems not quite enough. Like it's hardly there at all. I like a name to have a bit more presence and to be not quite so girly.

Archie - No

Lucas - Yes

Charlie - Big No

Dylan - Very Nice

Isaac - Love It

Bailey - Big No

Isla - Nice

Ella - Big No

Mae - Big No

Esmae - Love It

Skye - It's ok.

Leila - Very Nice
