Help me with my short list names?

I am just trying to get my name list down to five for each gender. Were not worried about middle names yet. I love all these names but I need a list of five per my deal with my husband. Thank you

Girl Names:

  1. [name]Carleigh[/name]
  2. dierdre
  3. [name]Evelyn[/name]
  4. [name]Meredith[/name]
  5. moira
  6. sylvia

Boy Names:

  1. [name]Connor[/name]
  2. darian
  3. [name]Doyle[/name]
  4. [name]Gareth[/name]
  5. irving
  6. Kincaid
  7. [name]Tyson[/name]

My personal favourites out of the Girls are [name]Dierdre[/name], [name]Evelyn[/name], [name]Meredith[/name] and [name]Moira[/name] while for the boys I like [name]Darian[/name], [name]Gareth[/name], [name]Irving[/name] and [name]Tyson[/name]. Overall though, you have a wonderful selection of names to choose from.

[name]Moira[/name], [name]Sylvia[/name] and [name]Evelyn[/name] are lovely. Not a fan of [name]Carleigh[/name]… the popular “-iegh” on the end of names traditionally ending in “-ly” doesn’t appeal to me, and have never been a fan of “[name]Carly[/name]” either.

As for the boys, [name]Darian[/name] is the only one that really stands out to me. I know a “[name]Jareth[/name]” and he’s constantly being mistaken for “[name]Jared[/name]”, and honestly it sounds like a kid with a lisp trying to say “[name]Jared[/name]”. I imagine “[name]Gareth[/name]” would bring up much of the same difficulties.

Girls:
[name]Evelyn[/name] ([name]LOVE[/name])
[name]Deirdre[/name] (Please, consider this spelling!)
[name]Sylvia[/name]
[name]Moira[/name]
[name]Carleigh[/name] (agree with PP: [name]Carly[/name])

I love [name]Meredith[/name] and [name]Evelyn[/name], I also really like [name]Sylvia[/name]. [name]Moira[/name] and [name]Dierdre[/name] are both characters on English soap operas so they have negative connotations for me. I’m not a fan of [name]Carleigh[/name], I think it is a completely different style to your other names and I’m not a fan of the popular -leigh ending.

My favourite of your boys names is [name]Gareth[/name], I think it is a lovely strong name. I like [name]Connor[/name] but I hate that it is so popular. I like [name]Irving[/name], I think it is interestingly unusual. I also like [name]Darian[/name] but I see it more of as a girls name as the only [name]Darian[/name] I have ever heard of was female.

This is the order I like your names in. My favorites are [name]Evelyn[/name] and [name]Darian[/name] with honorable mention :slight_smile: to [name]Moira[/name] and [name]Gareth[/name]. I really don’t like [name]Carleigh[/name] or Kincaid.

Girl Names:

  1. [name]Evelyn[/name]
  2. [name]Moira[/name]
  3. [name]Meredith[/name]
  4. [name]Dierdre[/name]
  5. [name]Sylvia[/name]
  6. [name]Carleigh[/name]

Boy Names:

  1. [name]Darian[/name]
  2. [name]Gareth[/name]
  3. [name]Connor[/name]
  4. [name]Doyle[/name]
  5. [name]Irving[/name]
  6. [name]Tyson[/name]
  7. Kincaid

Thank you Ladies!

Syvia is gorgeous and my favourite of the girls names on your list, followed by [name]Evelyn[/name] and [name]Meredith[/name]. The others aren’t really my style.

[name]Tyson[/name] sounds like a dog’s name, while [name]Gareth[/name] is so dated.

[name]Connor[/name] is by far my favourite.

I really like [name]Evelyn[/name], [name]Meredith[/name], and [name]Sylvia[/name] (though [name]Sylvie[/name] is more my style). [name]Carleigh[/name] and [name]Moira[/name] are pretty, but not names I’d give. I really don’t like the sound of [name]Dierdre[/name].

As for boys names, [name]Connor[/name] is my own favorite at the moment, so, naturally, I love it! [name]Darian[/name] is my father’s name (pronounced [name]Darren[/name]), but he always has trouble with people pronouncing it wrong ([name]Dair[/name]-ee-in) so I’m not really sure which one you’re going for! If it’s said like [name]Darren[/name], and spelling isn’t an issue, you may want to consider an alternative. Either way, I’m not a fan of the name. [name]Irving[/name] and [name]Tyson[/name] aren’t my style either, and while I like [name]Gareth[/name], [name]Garret[/name] sounds better to me. Kincaid isn’t bad, but I definitely do not like [name]Doyle[/name]!

Good luck!

[name]Evelyn[/name]
[name]Meredith[/name]
[name]Sylvia[/name]

[name]Connor[/name]
[name]Gareth[/name]
[name]Irving[/name]
