I like all of the names.
[name]Arabella[/name] “[name]Bella[/name]”-It is cute. But to be honest by the time she is 18 I think she will be one of 1,000,000 [name]Bella[/name]'s. [name]Bella[/name] is cute, but I think the fad will pass. If you just used [name]Arabella[/name], I prefer that as she gets older. If you chose [name]Annabella[/name] or [name]Annabelle[/name] it means she could go by [name]Annie[/name] or [name]Anna[/name] later in life if she wanted to change away from [name]Bella[/name].
[name]Aurora[/name] “[name]Rory[/name]”- Disney princess name. Cute, but I feel it will be another name that dates. [name]Rory[/name] is NMS as it sounds masculine.
[name]Adalyn[/name] “[name]Addie[/name]”- NMS Prefer [name]Adele[/name] nn [name]Addie[/name]. [name]Adalyn[/name]/ [name]Adeline[/name] type names are very modern so will surely dated later. [name]Madeline[/name] nn [name]Addie[/name]/ [name]Maddie[/name] would be a more timeless choice- yet still be modern.
[name]Olivia[/name] “[name]Ollie[/name] or [name]Livvy[/name]” - Very ‘now’ but classic too. She will be in company of other Olivias her age as she ages. I think [name]Olivia[/name] is starting to fade in popularity a little now.
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Claire[/name]- plain yet classic- [name]Emma[/name] never goes out of style. I also like [name]Claire[/name] as a first name.
[name]Annabella[/name] [name]Claire[/name] would be my suggestion.
BOY NAMES:
[name]Owen[/name] -good name that while popular has remained so for a long time. No nns as such, but that’s OK.
[name]Luke[/name]/[name]Lucas[/name]- taught one so put me off the name. Good name, won’t date too much.
[name]Hunter[/name]- bit trendy ‘last name’ style for my liking. Possible -ve link to actual hunting.
[name]Archer[/name]- last name style also- which I feel will not remain popular too long. [name]Archie[/name] is a very cute nn though.
[name]Arabella[/name] “[name]Bella[/name]” - I think it’s nice. [name]Arabella[/name] sounds a little stuffy and old-fashioned to me, but [name]Bella[/name] is a trendy alternative if she decides to use it. It’s not really my style, but it’s okay.
[name]Aurora[/name] “[name]Rory[/name]” - I like it… [name]Aurora[/name] and [name]Rory[/name] are kind of hard for little kids to say, but it would age well.
[name]Adalyn[/name] “[name]Addie[/name]” - I prefer [name]Addison[/name], but [name]Adalyn[/name] is still nice. [name]Addie[/name] is a cute nickname.
[name]Olivia[/name] “[name]Ollie[/name] or [name]Livvy[/name]” - Very popular, but nice. I definitely prefer the nickname [name]Livvy[/name]. To me, [name]Ollie[/name] is a boy name.
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Claire[/name] - Cute! [name]Emma[/name]'s super popular, but it’s still a nice name.
[name]Owen[/name] - Nice!
[name]Luke[/name]/[name]Lucas[/name] - Prefer [name]Luke[/name], but both are nice.
[name]Hunter[/name] - Not my favorite. I wouldn’t want to go through life with this name.
[name]Archer[/name] - Handsome. I also like the nickname [name]Archie[/name].
[name]Arabella[/name] “[name]Bella[/name]” - Yuck. Frilly and princessy. [name]Bella[/name] is annoyingly popular.
[name]Aurora[/name] “[name]Rory[/name]” - [name]Aurora[/name], lovely. [name]Rory[/name] - no. It’s a boy’s name.
[name]Adalyn[/name] “[name]Addie[/name]” - [name]Adalyn[/name], yuck. Looks misspelled and just sounds weird. However, love [name]Addie[/name] for a nn.
[name]Olivia[/name] “[name]Ollie[/name] or [name]Livvy[/name]” - Please, no more [name]Olivia[/name]!
[name]Emma[/name] [name]Claire[/name] -Eh. Popular names. Kind of bland.
BOY NAMES:
[name]Owen[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it, despite its popularity.
[name]Luke[/name]/[name]Lucas[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this one. Always a classic.
[name]Hunter[/name] - NMS. Never liked this one.
[name]Archer[/name] - Ok. It’s growing on me as I hear it more and more.
