Of your boys, I like [name_m]Enzo[/name_m], [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m], and [name_m]Edmund[/name_m]. [name_m]Caius[/name_m] is quite nice too.

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Here are my thoughts on your first names:

Girls-

[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]-This is gorgeous. Simple, smart & feminine. It’s not terribly common, but seemingly climbing the charts a bit these days.

[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] “[name_f]Trixie[/name_f]”-[name_u]Love[/name_u] it! This is my sweet doggy [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]'s mn. It’s spunky yet feminine.

[name_f]Mathilda[/name_f]-I like it, but it’s not my very favorite. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a bit clunkier than some of the others. I do think [name_f]Millie[/name_f] is a nice nn choice.

[name_f]Sabrina[/name_f]-Another nice choice. It’s not my super favorite; I think it just seems a bit snobby maybe.

[name_f]Saoirse[/name_f]-I want to like this name, because I love Gaelic names. I don’t just love the squishy sound it has. That may not make sense…

[name_f]Susanna[/name_f]-This is good. I like the spelling better than [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]. Lots of great nn opportunities. [name_f]Susie[/name_f] is obvious, but even better [name_f]Sally[/name_f], [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_u]Scout[/name_u], [name_f]Anna[/name_f] & [name_f]Annie[/name_f].

Marcelline-Not sure I like this. It’s too much, & I [name_f]Marcy[/name_f] is like a bratty cheerleader.

[name_f]Theresa[/name_f] “[name_f]Tess[/name_f]”-I like [name_f]Tess[/name_f]! It’s sweet & spunky. [name_f]Theresa[/name_f] is a bit dated. [name_f]Thessaly[/name_f] is more unique, but I even more so prefer [name_f]Tessa[/name_f], [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] or [name_f]Esther[/name_f] nn [name_f]Tess[/name_f].

[name_f]Nora[/name_f] or [name_f]Eleonore[/name_f]/[name_f]Leonore[/name_f] “[name_f]Nora[/name_f]”-I like [name_f]Nora[/name_f] on its own, but it’s soooo common. I love [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]. This spelling looks more polished. [name_f]Leonore[/name_f] sounds like a cranky old lady. Not sure how that ‘E’ at the beginning make such a difference. I don’t really get [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nora[/name_f] (love [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] though, which probably makes less sense…), but what about about [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] nn [name_f]Nora[/name_f]?

[name_f]Delphine[/name_f] “[name_f]Delphi[/name_f]”-I can’t get into this one.

[name_f]Eira[/name_f]-Hm. I’m not sure I care for this. It reminds me of the boy name, [name_u]Ira[/name_u]. Which I like for a boy!

[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] “[name_f]Aura[/name_f]” -[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] is lovely.

[name_f]Lyra[/name_f]-This I like. Very ‘lyrical’.

[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] “[name_f]Lilah[/name_f]”-I like just [name_f]Lila[/name_f]. It looks cleaner w/out the ‘h’. [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] seems more trendy for some reason.

[name_f]Zara[/name_f]-I’m not a huge fan of this for some reason, but I’m not opposed. It’s kind of cool.

[name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f] “[name_u]Romy[/name_u]”-Like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]? It looks odd as a full name. I think I like [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], but it still reminds me of the creepy movie.

Boys-

[name_m]Dashiell[/name_m] “[name_u]Dash[/name_u]” -So cool!

[name_m]Enzo[/name_m] or [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] “[name_m]Enzo[/name_m]”-Hm. I think I like [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] nn [name_m]Enzo[/name_m]. [name_m]Enzo[/name_m] doesn’t seem enough on its own.

[name_m]Nicolas[/name_m]/[name_m]Nikolai[/name_m] “[name_u]Nico[/name_u]/[name_u]Niko[/name_u]” -I love [name_m]Nicolas[/name_m] spelled this way. [name_u]Nico[/name_u] is an cool nn.

[name_m]Caspar[/name_m] “[name_m]Cas[/name_m]”-Nice! Handsome & a little quirky. I appreciate how you spelled it. Looks better than [name_m]Casper[/name_m] in my opinion.

[name_m]Matteo[/name_m]/[name_m]Mateo[/name_m]-Also very nice. The one ‘t’ looks more polished to me.

[name_m]Abraham[/name_m] “[name_m]Bram[/name_m]”-This is a solid handsome name. [name_m]Bram[/name_m] is nice. I think I find [name_m]Abe[/name_m] a little more old fashioned charming.

[name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]-Not into this one.

[name_m]Aneurin[/name_m] “[name_m]Nye[/name_m]”-I’m not familiar with this name. [name_f]May[/name_f] take some getting used to…

[name_m]Arthur[/name_m]/Ardal “[name_u]Ari[/name_u]”-I love [name_u]Ari[/name_u]! It’s my cat’s name! Ardal is not my style. I like [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], but [name_u]Arlo[/name_u] is also cute. My little guy is [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] nn [name_u]Ari[/name_u], but I know that a lot of people find [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] more feminine.

[name_m]Caleb[/name_m]-This is a little boring and over done.

[name_m]Edmund[/name_m] “[name_m]Ned[/name_m]/Ted”-I like [name_m]Ned[/name_m] a lot recently. Prefer [name_m]Edward[/name_m]. I also like [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] & [name_m]Edgar[/name_m] a lot. [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] sounds clunky.

[name_m]Caius[/name_m] “[name_u]Cai[/name_u]” -Cool!

[name_m]Colm[/name_m]-See my signature. My favorite boy name ever! It will confuse most people, but it has such a great gentle yet masculine sound. I love love love it.
