What do you think of my current top 5 for each gender?

Girls- (middle name would be one of the following: [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], [name_f]Elise[/name_f],or [name_f]Hanna[/name_f]/h)

[name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Margo[/name_f]/t nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] (sometimes)
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_f]Carys[/name_f] nn [name_u]Cary[/name_u] (sometimes)

Boys - (middle name would be one of the following: [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_u]Jameson[/name_u])

[name_m]Miles[/name_m] nn [name_m]Milo[/name_m] (sometimes)
[name_u]Finn[/name_u]
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] nn Decs/[name_m]Dex[/name_m] (sometimes)
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] nn [name_m]Seb[/name_m], Bass, Bash or [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] (which do you prefer?)
[name_u]Dean[/name_u]

Based on my taste, any suggestions for other names? Here’s some others I have on my extended list: [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Josie[/name_u]), [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] (nn [name_u]Tris[/name_u]), [name_f]Maeve[/name_f], [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Greta[/name_f], [name_m]Henry[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Harry[/name_m]), [name_u]Bradley[/name_u] (nn [name_m]Brad[/name_m]), [name_m]Ewan[/name_m] (thinking this has potential to replace [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] in my top 5), [name_u]Lyle[/name_u], [name_m]Ronan[/name_m], [name_u]Leland[/name_u], [name_m]John[/name_m]…

[name_f]LOVE[/name_f] all your boy’s names and I like all your girl’s names with the exception of [name_f]Carys[/name_f] (nms). My favorites are [name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f].

Some suggestions:

[name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]

I love [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] with the nn [name_m]Bastian[/name_m].
[name_f]Adore[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]

[name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] – Prefer [name_f]Gwenyth[/name_f], but like.
[name_f]Margo[/name_f]/t nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] – Adorable.
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] – Cute.
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] – [name_f]Love[/name_f].
[name_f]Carys[/name_f] nn [name_u]Cary[/name_u] – [name_f]Carys[/name_f] rocks, meh on [name_u]Cary[/name_u].

Boys - (middle name would be one of the following: [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_u]Jameson[/name_u])

[name_m]Miles[/name_m] nn [name_m]Milo[/name_m] – [name_f]Love[/name_f] both, prefer as seperate names, [name_m]Milo[/name_m] wins.
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] – Cool.
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] nn Decs/[name_m]Dex[/name_m] – Ok.
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] nn [name_m]Seb[/name_m], Bass, Bash or [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] – Like, whichever nickname you’re tempted to say first.
[name_u]Dean[/name_u] – Ok.

Wow, I like your names! [name_f]Nora[/name_f] is one of my all time favorites!

My favorites are: [name_f]Margot[/name_f] (no nn, but [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] is cute), [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Bastian[/name_m]), and [name_u]Dean[/name_u].

On your extended list, my favorites for the girls are: [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] and [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] (but I would prefer [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]/[name_f]Trixie[/name_f])

For the boys my favorite [name_m]Henry[/name_m]/[name_m]Harry[/name_m] although I think it’s fine to go for it and just name him [name_m]Harry[/name_m] if that’s what you want to call him. I also like Ronon, nn [name_m]Ron[/name_m] (I guess I like the [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] names!)

I’m not sure what I really think about [name_u]Leland[/name_u], but I love [name_m]Leander[/name_m].

[name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] - I really like the name [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], but I don’t like it as a full name and I’ve never been able to find a full name that I really like for it. I think [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] is one of the best though. I give it a 7/10.
[name_f]Margo[/name_f]/t nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] - I REALLY like [name_f]Margo[/name_f]/[name_f]Margot[/name_f], but my boyfriend vetoed it. Otherwise it would be at the top of my list! [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] isn’t bad either. 8/10
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] - It sounds like a name for a cat to me, to be honest. 6/10
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] - I’ve always seen it as a middle name, but it isn’t bad. 7/10
[name_f]Carys[/name_f] nn [name_u]Cary[/name_u] - I don’t like it very much. [name_m]Just[/name_m] kind of sounds funny to me. 3/10

[name_m]Miles[/name_m] nn [name_m]Milo[/name_m] - I would definitely use this. 10/10
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] - It isn’t bad. 6/10
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] nn Decs/[name_m]Dex[/name_m] - Ehh. It’s okay. 5/10
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] nn [name_m]Seb[/name_m], Bass, Bash, or [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] - I can’t look at this name without thinking of dancing crabs…I’m sorry. Ahaha. 5/10
[name_u]Dean[/name_u] - It’s nice. 7/10

Girls:
[name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] - It’s okay. Not a personal favorite of mine, but definitely nice enough, familiar but not totally common.
[name_f]Margo/name_f - I like [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], but [name_f]Margo[/name_f] seems nickname-y enough on its own, I don’t think it needs one. I prefer the [name_f]Margo[/name_f] spelling. [name_f]Margot[/name_f] reminds me of Maggots!
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] - [name_f]Love[/name_f]! I think [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] is beautiful. Not popular, but definitely familiar enough not to be confused I think. I would love to meet a little [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]!
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] - Nice enough, just not really my style. I prefer [name_f]Elsie[/name_f].
[name_f]Carys[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Carys[/name_f], but not [name_u]Cary[/name_u].

Boys:
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] - I like, but prefer as a middle.
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] - Popularity aside it’s a nice name. I wouldn’t use it as a first, personally, just because of how popular it is. I know several in real life.
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] - I like [name_m]Dex[/name_m] as a nn. I hadn’t considered that! It’s a good solid name. Getting more popular though I think? I know 3 in real life.
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] - [name_f]One[/name_f] of my favorites! I don’t really care for any of the nicknames though.
[name_u]Dean[/name_u] - A solid name, not really my style. I prefer it as a middle.

Also, I adore [name_m]Ronan[/name_m]! Others I like are [name_f]Audrey[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] (especially [name_u]Josie[/name_u]!), [name_m]Henry[/name_m] (without the nn [name_m]Harry[/name_m]. Seems unnecessary to me?), and [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] (but prefer the [name_u]Zooey[/name_u] spelling)

My suggestions: [name_m]Sylvan[/name_m], [name_m]Seamus[/name_m], [name_m]Jonah[/name_m], [name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_f]Althea[/name_f], [name_f]Thalia[/name_f], [name_m]Cormac[/name_m], [name_f]Allegra[/name_f], [name_m]Levi[/name_m], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]

Girls- ([name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], [name_f]Elise[/name_f],or [name_f]Hanna[/name_f]/h - SPELL [name_f]HANNAH[/name_f] TRADITIONALLY SO YOU KID DOESNT HAVE TO SPELL IT ALL THE TIME)

[name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] - ok
[name_f]Margo[/name_f]/t nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] - this nickname works, but whats the point of naming someone a short nicknamey name like [name_f]Margo[/name_f]/t in the first place if you are just gonna use [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]? just use [name_f]Margo[/name_f]/t
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] - very nicknamey, use [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f], nn [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] - seems to be coming back
[name_f]Carys[/name_f] nn [name_u]Cary[/name_u] - same with [name_f]Margo[/name_f]/t pointless nn. plus lots of spelling and pronunciation problems her whole life, skip it and use [name_f]Carrie[/name_f]

Boys - ([name_u]James[/name_u], [name_u]Jameson[/name_u])

[name_m]Miles[/name_m] nn [name_m]Milo[/name_m] - [name_f]DO[/name_f] NOT USE [name_m]MILO[/name_m] AS A NICKNAME, ITS A SEPARATE NAME. its like you couldnt pick between the two so you call him both
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] - TRENDY
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] nn Decs/[name_m]Dex[/name_m] - wouldnt want to be called ‘Dec’, [name_m]Dex[/name_m] doesnt work here
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] nn [name_m]Seb[/name_m], Bass, Bash or [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] - [name_m]Bastian[/name_m], Bash IS NOT the sound in [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m].
& who would want to be called [name_m]Seb[/name_m]??? WHO???
[name_u]Dean[/name_u] - not overly popular, but doesnt work with the middle names - no flow with either. switch them and you have [name_u]James[/name_u]/on [name_u]Dean[/name_u]. dont name you kid after anyone famous.

[name_m]Henry[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Harry[/name_m]) - a traditional nn, but again pointless to me
[name_m]Ronan[/name_m] - trendy

[name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] - My favorite of your girls’ names. I also really love [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] off your shortlist.
[name_f]Margo[/name_f]/t nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] (sometimes) - Elegant, classic, but not particularly special. Prefer the [name_f]Margot[/name_f] spelling.
[name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] - Pretty, but insufficient.
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] - Dated.
[name_f]Carys[/name_f] nn [name_u]Cary[/name_u] (sometimes) - Not really my style.

Combos: [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f].

[name_m]Miles[/name_m] nn [name_m]Milo[/name_m] (sometimes) - I prefer simply [name_m]Milo[/name_m], but [name_m]Miles[/name_m] is nice. Also [name_m]Miles[/name_m] doesn’t work with middle name options.
[name_u]Finn[/name_u] - I like this one a lot, but be warned it’s very trendy.
[name_m]Declan[/name_m] nn Decs/[name_m]Dex[/name_m] (sometimes) - Not a fan.
[name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] nn [name_m]Seb[/name_m], Bass, Bash or [name_m]Bastian[/name_m] (which do you prefer?) - I really hate the name [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], sorry. Something about it is so effeminate. I like the possibility of [name_m]Ewan[/name_m], however. [name_m]Ewan[/name_m] [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] is a really solid combo.
[name_u]Dean[/name_u] - I actually like the name [name_u]Dean[/name_u] quite a bit, but I agree with the PP that [name_u]Dean[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] doesn’t work. [name_u]Dean[/name_u] [name_u]Jameson[/name_u] is a possibility, though.

Combos: [name_u]Dean[/name_u] [name_u]Jameson[/name_u], [name_u]Finn[/name_u] [name_u]Jameson[/name_u], [name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u].

Oh my gosh, I love Bash as a nickname for [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m]! Totally main reason I would use it haha. [name_m]Milo[/name_m] and [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m] were my favorite of the boy names, and [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f] and [name_f]Elise[/name_f]. Really great names :slight_smile:
