Hello! [name_f]Love[/name_f] your list! I’ll make some general comments on each of the name, and rate them 1-10 on how much I like them (just my opinion of course, they’re all lovely and names are subjective!)
Girls:
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] (Della) - Not my style, but a very nice-sounding/flowy name with sunny yet mature vibes. I prefer just [name_f]Lilah[/name_f], but that’s just me preferring shorter names! [name_f]Della[/name_f] is again not my favourite, but I still like it’s pretty cute! 5/10
[name_f]Posy[/name_f] - I LOVE [name_f]Posy[/name_f]! I think it’s completely adorable. This is my favourite spelling of the name, as well. 9/10
[name_f]Nellie[/name_f] - I just think of an elephant, lol. That’s not a bad association (love elephants!) but it is what I think of. It also sounds strangely nasally to me but it definitely appeals to the short, sweet names you have on your list. 4/10
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f] - This was one of my favourite names for around three years - and I still have a soft spot for it! I think it’s delightful, and [name_f]Cece[/name_f] is a great nickname! It’s not my style anymore, but I love it for other people! 8/10
[name_f]Marnie[/name_f] - I’m so in love with this name. I think it’s fun and sunny and insanely wearable if that names sense. Like the name is lived-in, in a good way, lol. One of my favourites on your list 10/10
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] (Bea) - I’ve never totally got the appeal of [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f], though I’m enthralled by the X which adds a lot of spark to the name. I love the nickname [name_f]Bea[/name_f], however. 7/10
[name_f]Juniper[/name_f] (Junie/Juno) - I like [name_f]Juniper[/name_f], but I greatly prefer [name_f]June[/name_f] or [name_f]Juno[/name_f] as the full name, for some reason. [name_f]Junie[/name_f] is a lovely nickname. [name_f]Juno[/name_f] would be my choice - I think it’s so uniquely beautiful. [name_f]Juniper[/name_f] is a 6/10, but [name_f]Juno[/name_f] is an easy 10/10
[name_f]Athena[/name_f] - I can definitely see the appeal of this name, but it doesn’t jump out at me as one of my favs on your list. 6/10
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f] - I really like [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]! I love the flower, as well, and the names got great imagery. I couldn’t personally use (I know many Daisys irl, not all whom I like) but I adore it for others! 9/10
[name_f]Twila[/name_f] - I see twig. Twig would actually make a cool boys name but with [name_f]Twila[/name_f] it’s not quite there and therefore reads odd to me. Overall, not my favourite but that’s just me. 4/10
[name_f]Polly[/name_f] - One of my favourite! Again, it reads so cool to me. 9/10
[name_f]Betty[/name_f] - Not my style, I can’t imagine a child called this but that would definitely change if i met a little [name_f]Betty[/name_f]! 5/10
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] - I personally know many Martha’s, so my opinion of this name is clouded by that fact (they wear the name very well, btw!). I’m just not a fan of the sounds. To me, it sounds heavy and clunky. 4/10
[name_f]Edie[/name_f] - So underrated and so cool! Maybe I’m just a fan of girls’ names that end in an ‘ee’ sound lol. I prefer this as a full name over a nickname for something else. 9/10
[name_f]Bessie[/name_f] - not my style in the same way [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] & [name_f]Betty[/name_f] aren’t either. I find the sounds quite unappealing but that’s just me! 4/10
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f] - Sorry for being so negative with a lot of these but I don’t really like [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] either. I just hear ‘Ram’ and ‘Moan’. It seems so heavy, especially on a child. Again, that’s just the imagery I get! 4/10
[name_f]Winnie[/name_f] - I read [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] the Pooh too much as a child to really get into this name. It’s very cute, but not my thing. 5/10
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f] - So underrated, especially on NB! I used to know a [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] when I was little and she made me, as a 6-year-old namenerd, obsessed with her name. I like the nickname [name_m]Jem[/name_m], as a suggestion of some sorts. I’m not as in love with it as I used to be, but I still like it! 7/10
[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] - Very cutesy, which I like to an extent. I think it lacks… substance (?) when compared to my favourite names on your list. That said, I still really like it. 6/10
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] - I don’t know how you’d pronounce this in your accent, but I’m british and therefore pronounce it pretty differently in my accent. The way I say it, I think it’s pretty cute, though I doesn’t stand out to me. In an American accent, it gives totally different vibes - very southern and very adventurous. Either way it’s not my exact thing. 6/10
Top 3 girls: [name_f]Marnie[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] & [name_f]Polly[/name_f] (would be Juno)
Bottom 3 girls: [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], [name_f]Betty[/name_f] & [name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
Boys:
[name_m]Otis[/name_m] - Used to be one of my absolute favs! I still think it’s so cool - a perfect mix of unique and familiar in my opinion. Overall, I love it. 10/10
[name_m]Rufus[/name_m] - I get really strong imagery of a ginger boy with a billion teddy bears - not sure if that’s good or not. I quite like the name, but it doesn’t stand out to me. 7/10
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] - I slightly prefer [name_m]Otis[/name_m], but [name_m]Otto[/name_m] is also fantastic. It reads as more… academic? to me, not sure why. 9/10
[name_m]Bruno[/name_m] - [name_f]My[/name_f] dog’s name! Unfortunately, I can’t really see it on a human baby, which is strange because I also know of a human called [name_m]Bruno[/name_m]. I hesitate to call any names ‘dog’s names’, but if I had to be honest [name_m]Bruno[/name_m] would be a dog’s name if I had to choose one lol. That’s only because of association, however. 5/10 for a human.
[name_m]August[/name_m] - Also in love with this name! I like the nickname [name_m]Gus[/name_m] for it. Overall, no complaints - it’s great 10/10
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] - [name_f]My[/name_f] brother’s name lol. I really like his name, especially the nickname [name_m]Gabe[/name_m]. 10/10
[name_m]Wesley[/name_m] - Not my style, a bit too cowboy in my head for some reason. it sounds made up, strangely, which isn’t a bad thing but also is not a thing I like. 4/10
[name_m]Barney[/name_m] - [name_f]My[/name_f] primary association is this line of chocolate-flavoured bear-shaped cakes they sell where I live, the brand being [name_m]Barny[/name_m]. I still think the name is really cute, and the cake is nice so. I did have a period not long ago when I was obsessed with this name, and I still really like it! 8/10
[name_m]Sonny[/name_m] - Such a beautiful, sunny (no pun intended) name. I just think it’s great. 9/10
[name_m]Woody[/name_m] - I firstly think of [name_m]Woody[/name_m] from [name_m]Toy[/name_m] [name_f]Story[/name_f] - which it’s a bad association but a strong one. If not that I think of [name_m]Woody[/name_m] [name_m]Allen[/name_m] and [name_m]Woody[/name_m] Harrelson also very quickly. And then I think wood. I’m not a huge fan of the name, for similar reasons to [name_m]Wesley[/name_m]. 4/10
Top 3 boys: [name_m]Otis[/name_m], [name_m]August[/name_m] & [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]
Bottom 3 boys: [name_m]Bruno[/name_m], [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] & [name_m]Woody[/name_m]
[name_f]My[/name_f] fav sibsets:
Boy/Girl - [name_f]Marnie[/name_f] & [name_m]August[/name_m]
Girl/Girl - [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] & [name_f]Polly[/name_f]
Boy/Boy - [name_m]Otis[/name_m] & [name_m]Sonny[/name_m]
On [name_m]Hunter[/name_m], I think it’s definitely reached peak popularity. To me it seems like quite a violent name to give to a child.
