From your boys my favourite is definitely [name_m]Marshall[/name_m]! So handsome! I also like [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] and [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] :blush:

From your girls I love [name_f]Julia[/name_f] & [name_f]Hallie[/name_f] (Hallie is my daughter’s middle name - [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Hallie[/name_f]), but I actually like all of your girls options, all gorgeous and feminine.

As for your unisex names I love [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] and [name_u]Marlow[/name_u] (I like [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] for a boy and [name_u]Marlow[/name_u] for a girl personally). For me, I see [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] as male and [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f] & [name_u]Raleigh[/name_u] as female but all five could work on either very well!

Very nice selection!

Your boy names are gentle and playful, and very cute! [name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_m]Oskar[/name_m], [name_u]Elliott[/name_u], and [name_u]Bennett[/name_u], though I prefer [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]. [name_f]Wrenley[/name_f] is new to me, but I LOVE IT!

I think your girls are gorgeous, regal, and serious. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Victoria[/name_f].

Your unisex names are very sweet! I love seeing Raleigh!! But I do prefer [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f] for a little girl.

Oskar - This makes me think of like… a young man from Norway. Probably because it’s spelled with a k. I prefer Oscar, but it’s a handsome name! I love nn Ozzy.
Elliott - It feels very trendy to me, but with a classic handsomeness to ground it
Marshall - Slightly dated but also sturdy and traditional. Nn Mars is so cool
Wrenley - Not bad, but I prefer just Wren. I’d assume Wrenley was a girls’ name.
Bennett - Cute!

Eleanor - Solid choice. A bit too common for my tastes but I get the appeal
Erika - Unfortunately feels a bit dated. I prefer the Erica spelling because it makes me think of the flowers
Julia - Nice, simple, classic. I prefer Juliet but you can’t go wrong with Julia
Hallie - Hallie is so cute, I really like it!
Victoria - I’m not sure why, but this name has always had ‘‘mean girl’’ vibes to me. I also don’t love the nicknames, since Vicky and Tori are quite dated. I get the appeal though!

Hunter - Not a bad name, but it does seem quite trendy and likely to be dated in the future
Spencer - I really like Spencer! It has a very friendly feel
Marlow - Sleek and beautiful
Bronwyn - This is 100% girl to me. I quite like it on a girl, though I prefer other -wyn names like Arwen, Arianwen and Merewen
Raleigh - Not a fan. I wouldn’t know how to pronounce it, and the -eigh ending looks kinda messy to me

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there.

Here are my thoughts-

Boys-

Oskar-I love it. And I go back & fourth on whether I prefer [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] or [name_m]Oscar[/name_m]. I do kind of feel like [name_m]Oskar[/name_m] gives it a slightly quirkier feel. Which is a good thing! It’s strong & vintage & spunky & smart. Well known, but not terribly over done.

Elliott-Ooh, I love this one too. It’s smart & charming & grows up well. And I’m so pleased w/this spelling. [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] looks incomplete to me.

Marshall-It’s not my personal favorite. I think that I don’t like the ‘marsh’ sound. That being said, it’s a perfectly nice well established name that feels unexpected these days. And I do like that about it.

Wrenley-This is not my cup of tea. Feels a bit too modern for my tastes, or something.

Bennett-Perfectly nice solid name. I love the sweet nn of [name_m]Ben[/name_m] too. I kind of prefer [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u], but [name_u]Bennett[/name_u] is less over done.

Girls-

Eleanor-Love it! One of my favorites. Perfect balance of strong, smart, classic, bookish but adventurous. And I love the nns [name_f]Ellie[/name_f] & [name_f]Nellie[/name_f]. It’s kind of way popular if that bothers you. But a timeless name in my opinion.

Erika-Not a name that I usually prefer. I guess it just feels a bit 80s. But it’s not a bad name at all.

Julia-I really want to like this. I like [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] & [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] & other similar names. And I don’t dislike this. It just doesn’t do much for me.

Hallie-I love the sound, but cant figure out why I don’t like the way it looks visually. Either way, it’s very sweet. I want to spell it [name_u]Haley[/name_u], but then people will say ‘Hay-lee’.

Victoria-Meh, I don’t love it, but no good reason why. Maybe it’s just a bit stuffy feeling. Totally fine name; just not my style.

Unisex-

Hunter-Not my style. Feels a bit trendy & over done & kind of violent! I’m not against hunting…just don’t like the idea of naming a child this. I definitely don’t find it pleasant for a girl.

Spencer-I like geeky sounding names, but always found this to sound a little too geeky. It’s not awful at all. I just don’t love it. It’s definitely way too masculine for a girl in my opinion.

Marlow-This is fine. Maybe better on a girl. I don’t love it, but it’s not bad.

Bronwyn-I’m really picking about spellings, because I much prefer [name_f]Branwen[/name_f]. It seems more authentic, I guess? And certainly feminine. Also, I think that I like [name_f]Branwen[/name_f], because w/the ‘o’, I just see the word ‘brown’.

Raleigh-A little trendy feeling for my tastes. It feels too masculine on a girl & too feminine for a boy.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

i really like all your names!

oskar - love this! very handsome
elliott - also love this! another handsome name
marshall - this is great too! love the nn mars
wrenley - it’s okay, it does seem a little feminine and mismatched with your other names. i prefer just wren
bennett - good solid name! very handsome!

eleanor - love this, and it has wonderful nickname potential (nell, nora, ellie etc)
erika - i adore erika! (i slightly prefer it spelt with a c)
julia - beautiful name, very pretty
hallie - also gorgeous, has a super sweet meaning too
victoria - not really my style but a very pretty name!

hunter - super cute! it leans masculine a little for me, but not majorly
spencer - i love spencer! it works for any gender perfectly and is super sweet
marlow - prefer it spelt with an e, but i think it’s a stunning name. very unisex to me
bronwyn - i love this! does seem a little feminine but i could see it on a boy too
raleigh - i really like this (though i do prefer the similar riley)

Oskar - gentle and charming
Elliott - soft but strong
Marshall - rugged and cool
Wrenley -unexpected and sweet
Bennett - cool and literary

Julia -classic and sweet
Hallie - cute and carefree

you have quite a nice list of names!
for boys, my favorites are [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] and [name_m]Marshall[/name_m], [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] is a classic and so handsome, [name_m]Marshall[/name_m] is not a common one but is easy to pronounce, i like it a lot! [name_f]Wrenley[/name_f] is very cute but i picture it more on a girl!
girls- my favorites are [name_f]Julia[/name_f] and [name_f]Hallie[/name_f]. [name_f]Julia[/name_f] is one of my favorites, love the way it sounds and the old but still modern feel. [name_f]Hallie[/name_f] is just so sweet
unisex- [name_u]Hunter[/name_u] would be so cute on a little girl, so would [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f]!
