[name]Hugo[/name]- This is okay.
[name]Rupert[/name] (nn [name]Rue[/name])- Eh nms
[name]Jasper[/name]- [name]Just[/name] okay.
[name]Calvin[/name]- Sounds nerdy to me.
[name]Oscar[/name]- [name]Love[/name].
[name]Barlow[/name]- Sounds made up.
[name]Finn[/name]- Nice.
[name]Otto[/name]- Eh sounds like a dogs name.

Girls

[name]Violet[/name]-[name]Love[/name]
[name]Rory[/name]- [name]Love[/name]. But if I were going to use it I would give a formal name like [name]Aurora[/name], [name]Lorelei[/name], [name]Romilly[/name]
[name]Finn[/name]- Not on a girl.
[name]Daisy[/name]- Sounds stripper-ish.
[name]Vivienne[/name]- This is okay.
[name]June[/name]- [name]Love[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name]- Not a fan.
[name]Iris[/name]- This is okay
[name]Lou[/name]- Eh nms
[name]Romy[/name]- [name]Love[/name]
[name]Wren[/name]- Eh
[name]Maxine[/name]- Not a fan.

I was about to say I love your lists but I then saw [name]Finn[/name] and [name]Rory[/name] listed for girls! I just don’t see how you can have such girly and feminine names like [name]Daisy[/name] and [name]Magnolia[/name] and then 2 gorgeous Irish boy’s names, makes no sense to me.

Your boy’s list is fab though; [name]Caspar[/name], [name]Milo[/name], [name]Rupert[/name] ‘[name]Rue[/name]’, [name]Oscar[/name] and [name]Finn[/name] are just gorgeous and all fit together really well.

From the girl’s list I love [name]Violet[/name], [name]Vivienne[/name], [name]Daisy[/name] and [name]Romy[/name]. [name]Lou[/name] is a sweet enough nickname but I think a full name would work better with the nn [name]Lou[/name] - something like [name]Tallulah[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Luisa[/name], [name]Lilou[/name] etc.

Boys
[name]Casper[/name] - This is probably the only one that I don’t consider usable because of [name]Casper[/name] the Friendly Ghost.
[name]Milo[/name] - like it
[name]Hugo[/name] - love it
[name]Rupert[/name] (nn [name]Rue[/name]) - [name]Rue[/name] seems a little feminine for a boy
[name]Jasper[/name] - I [name]LOVE[/name] THIS! It’s in my top 5.
[name]Calvin[/name] - Nice. I’m surprised it isn’t used more often.
[name]Oscar[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it.
[name]Barlow[/name] - Interesting. I like it.
[name]Finn[/name] - Cute but it seems like it will be super popular one day
[name]Otto[/name] - I like it.

Girls
[name]Violet[/name] - beautiful
[name]Rory[/name] - I like it better for a boy.
[name]Finn[/name] - Not feminine at all.
[name]Daisy[/name] - cute but more of a nickname
[name]Vivienne[/name] - pretty
[name]June[/name] - I like it
[name]Magnolia[/name] - I’m really starting to like this one a lot. Plus it has a lot of nns…[name]Maggie[/name], [name]Mags[/name], [name]Nola[/name], [name]Noli[/name], [name]Nolia[/name], [name]Lia[/name]…
[name]Iris[/name] - Very pretty.
[name]Lou[/name] - I like it as a nn for [name]Lucia[/name], [name]Louise[/name], [name]Louisa[/name], [name]Luciana[/name], etc…
[name]Romy[/name] - cute
[name]Wren[/name] - Nice
[name]Maxine[/name] - I like it.

Boys

[name]Casper[/name] - I like this but when I mentioned it to my husband, the Friendly Ghost popped up straight away :o(
[name]Milo[/name] - this has really been growing on me lately
[name]Hugo[/name] - all right
[name]Rupert[/name] (nn [name]Rue[/name]) - not really my thing
[name]Jasper[/name] - like it
[name]Calvin[/name] - not really
[name]Oscar[/name] - love but too popular now?
[name]Barlow[/name] - [name]Gary[/name] [name]Barlow[/name]! Not a great first name.
[name]Finn[/name] - OK
[name]Otto[/name] - quite like

Girls

[name]Violet[/name] - love
[name]Rory[/name] - only as nn for [name]Aurora[/name] etc. Which I love.
[name]Finn[/name] - not for a girl
[name]Daisy[/name] - love
[name]Vivienne[/name] - love
[name]June[/name] - bit old fashioned
[name]Magnolia[/name] - nah
[name]Iris[/name] - love
[name]Lou[/name] - bit boring
[name]Romy[/name] - nah
[name]Wren[/name] - everyone loves [name]Wren[/name] at the mo! [name]Do[/name] like it myself.
[name]Maxine[/name] - no. Used to use this name when playing as a child but that was in the 80s!

Boys

[name]Casper[/name] - The Friendly Ghost. Because of this I just can’t see this being used on a human baby. Maybe a ghost baby. :slight_smile:
[name]Milo[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it. Alternatives: [name]Myles[/name], [name]Miles[/name], Mylo
[name]Hugo[/name] - Eh. Neutral on this one. Prefer [name]Henry[/name].
[name]Rupert[/name] (nn [name]Rue[/name]) - NMS
[name]Jasper[/name] - [name]Love[/name] it, despite the Twilight associations
[name]Calvin[/name] - Nice. Good classic names that still sounds modern.
[name]Oscar[/name] - NMS. Can only think of the weird dirty green puppet in the garbage can from [name]Sesame[/name] [name]Street[/name]. Much prefer [name]Oliver[/name] or [name]Owen[/name].
[name]Barlow[/name] - [name]Don[/name]'t like at all.
[name]Finn[/name] - Great one.
[name]Otto[/name] - NMS

Girls

[name]Violet[/name] - OK. Not a favorite. Prefer [name]Rose[/name].
[name]Rory[/name] - This is a boy’s name to me.
[name]Finn[/name] - Boy’s name
[name]Daisy[/name] - NMS. Too [name]Polly[/name]-[name]Anna[/name]-ish
[name]Vivienne[/name] - [name]Love[/name] this one, especially the spelling. Great choice!
[name]June[/name] - Pretty, but NMS
[name]Magnolia[/name] - NMS. Sounds too old-ladyish
[name]Iris[/name] - Eh. Still feels a little old-lady.
[name]Lou[/name] - [name]Louise[/name]? [name]Lou[/name]-ella? Great nn, but I prefer a more formal first name.
[name]Romy[/name] - NMS, but very pretty.
[name]Wren[/name] - Dislike. Not sure why, but I just never liked this one. Sounds very odd.
[name]Maxine[/name] - The cranky old lady from the comic strips. She’s ruined this name for me forever.

Most of them are absolutely beautiful! I’d use [name]Hugo[/name], [name]Rupert[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], [name]Oscar[/name], [name]Otto[/name], [name]Violet[/name], [name]June[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] in a heartbeat!

The only ones I dislike are [name]Calvin[/name], [name]Barlow[/name], [name]Rory[/name], [name]Finn[/name] and [name]Lou[/name]. I don’t like [name]Rory[/name] and [name]Finn[/name] because they are incredibly masculine, and really don’t fit with the other names, and neither does [name]Lou[/name], really. [name]Calvin[/name] and [name]Barlow[/name] just aren’t my thing.

[name]Casper[/name] --In theory I like it, but I still just think ‘friendly ghost’ which is a shame!
[name]Milo[/name] – I can’t picture this on an adult. I prefer [name]Miles[/name] nn [name]Milo[/name]
[name]Hugo[/name] – Its okay
[name]Rupert[/name] (nn [name]Rue[/name]) – [name]Love[/name]
[name]Jasper[/name] – I like it

Of your boys’ names, this is the only one I really like, and I would use it.
[name]Finn[/name].

I wouldn’t use these myself, but I don’t mind them:
[name]Casper[/name] - ghost association but I think I could get past that
[name]Jasper[/name]
[name]Calvin[/name] - actually, I kind of like this with nn [name]Cal[/name].
[name]Oscar[/name]

These are just not for me:
[name]Milo[/name]
[name]Hugo[/name]
[name]Rupert[/name] (nn [name]Rue[/name])
[name]Barlow[/name]
[name]Otto[/name]

Girls

[name]Love[/name] these and would use:
[name]Violet[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name]

These are not mor me, but nice:
[name]Daisy[/name]
[name]June[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Maxine[/name] - I wouldn[t want to be called [name]Max[/name] or [name]Maxi[/name], though.
[name]Romy[/name] - I think I would prefer it as a nickname for [name]Rosemary[/name], [name]Romilly[/name] or some other ro name.

[name]Lou[/name] - by itself, never. I know it’s a unisex nickname, but it sounds like an old man to me. I like [name]Louisa[/name] and [name]Louise[/name] though.
[name]Wren[/name] - don’t really like this, okay as a mn.

I like these names, but on boys:
[name]Rory[/name]
[name]Finn[/name]

Boys

[name]Casper[/name] -he’s a friendly ghost, but no
[name]Milo[/name] --ok
[name]Hugo[/name] --nms
[name]Rupert[/name] (nn [name]Rue[/name]) --I think of the character on Survivor, and [name]Rue[/name] makes me think of Hunger Games & Kanga in [name]Winnie[/name] the Pooh

[name]Calvin[/name] --better get him a stuffed tiger named [name]Hobbes[/name].

[name]June[/name] --kinda boring
[name]Magnolia[/name] --kinda cute, nn [name]Maggie[/name]

[name]Romy[/name] --nms
[name]Wren[/name] --I like this, but more for a mn
[name]Maxine[/name] --nms. [name]Don[/name]'t like “[name]Maxi[/name]” as a potential nn either.

Good luck!

Boys

[name]Casper[/name] – I can see the appeal I would probably like it more if it wasn’t for [name]Casper[/name] the stinkin’ friendly ghost!
[name]Milo[/name] – [name]Love[/name] one of my favorites.
[name]Hugo[/name] – [name]Love[/name]!
[name]Rupert[/name] (nn [name]Rue[/name]) – Not a fan, I like [name]Rue[/name] better on a girl too
[name]Jasper[/name] – I like it, it’s a name that’s never made it on my favorites list though.
[name]Calvin[/name] – I like it! I knew a [name]Calvin[/name] in high school.
[name]Oscar[/name] – [name]Love[/name]!
[name]Barlow[/name] – I know someone with this as their last name and it’s not a very good association.
[name]Finn[/name] – I like it, I prefer [name]Flynn[/name] or [name]Finnian[/name].

[name]Jasper[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this one too
[name]Calvin[/name]- and [name]Hobbes[/name]. That’s all I can think of when I hear it. Which isn’t necessarily all bad. :slight_smile:
[name]Oscar[/name]- I like this one, but not sure I’d use it myself.
[name]Barlow[/name]- nms
[name]Finn[/name]- Like it, but even better as a nn for something else

[name]Finn[/name]- nms for a girl
[name]Daisy[/name]- [name]Adore[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name]- [name]Lovely[/name], and would have used it if not for my DH’s cranky Grandma with the same name. :slight_smile:
[name]June[/name]- nms
[name]Magnolia[/name]- I like this, but for a longer flower name, I like [name]Azalea[/name] just a little bit more mainly due to what I think are better nicknames.
[name]Iris[/name]- Pretty
[name]Lou[/name]- Not a fan
[name]Romy[/name]- I feel mixed about this one. Not really my style, but I definitely don’t hate it.
[name]Wren[/name]- I know many love it, but it feels like an incomplete name to me. Not sure why.
[name]Maxine[/name]- Reminds me of the old lady on the greeting cards. But those are funny, so there’s that.

[name]Casper[/name]- Not really a fan because of the ghost
[name]Milo[/name]- [name]Love[/name], it is one of my favorites
[name]Hugo[/name]- I love it for someone else
[name]Rupert[/name] (nn [name]Rue[/name])- I personally hate it but it could work for a middle name
[name]Jasper[/name]- [name]Love[/name]
[name]Calvin[/name]- It has started to grow on me and now it is one of my new favorite names
[name]Oscar[/name]- [name]Love[/name]
[name]Barlow[/name] - nms I like [name]Arlo[/name] better
[name]Finn[/name]- [name]Love[/name]
[name]Otto[/name]- [name]Don[/name]'t like it

[name]Violet[/name]- [name]Love[/name]
[name]Rory[/name]- Only as a nn for [name]Aurora[/name]
[name]Finn[/name]- Only for a boy

[name]Iris[/name]- See [name]Calvin[/name]
[name]Romy[/name]- [name]Love[/name]
[name]Wren[/name]- I like it

[name]Casper[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this. There’s a lovely little [name]Casper[/name] in my daughter’s class
[name]Milo[/name]- Like this, but its a little too nicknamey for my liking as a first name. Prefer [name]Miles[/name] as a full name. I can’t seem [name]Milo[/name] on say, a 50 year old
[name]Hugo[/name]- Like this a lot. Its very preppy but hey, I like that too
[name]Rupert[/name] (nn [name]Rue[/name])- Mmm I quite like [name]Rupert[/name] but its nothing special
[name]Jasper[/name]- Same as with [name]Rupert[/name] really. Sweet but a bit non-descript
[name]Calvin[/name]- [name]Just[/name] like with [name]Luther[/name], the religious roots of Calvinism make this one a bit of a serious choice for me.
[name]Oscar[/name]- Sweet…SO popular where I am (UK) though that it’d put me off
[name]Barlow[/name]- Never heard this before. Is it just a surname adapted into a name? I don’t love it
[name]Finn[/name]- [name]Lovely[/name]. Friendly, cheeky…just a little too trendy at the moment to be exciting
[name]Otto[/name]- [name]LOVE[/name]. So underused and such a lovely sound

Girls

[name]Violet[/name]- Pretty, soft, rolls off the tongue.
[name]Rory[/name]- Mmm not a fan. Still just feels a little boys-name-turned-girls-name like [name]Ashley[/name] does. Same vibe to me.
[name]Finn[/name]- Ahh I do actually like this for a girl, maybe as a nickname for [name]Finola[/name] or [name]Fiona[/name] though
[name]Daisy[/name]- Sweet but a little cutesie
[name]Vivienne[/name]- Girlie, elegant but I don’t like the sound that much. Reminds me of the word sieve???
[name]June[/name]- [name]Love[/name]! Sweet but not saccharine. Vintage but fresh. Top pick.
[name]Magnolia[/name]- Like this a lot. Good nickname potential too, for everyday ‘school friendly’ options. [name]Nola[/name], [name]Maggie[/name]. [name]Meg[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]- [name]Love[/name]. [name]June[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] would be perfect sisters Ha.
[name]Lou[/name]- Like as a middle name. Have to say…still does just remind me of the slang for toilet.
[name]Romy[/name]- [name]Love[/name] this name!
[name]Wren[/name]- Meh, its okay
[name]Maxine[/name]- Usually like feminizations, but this one always feels a very masculine one to me.

My favourites from the lists:
[name]June[/name]
[name]Romy[/name] ([name]Romy[/name] [name]Violet[/name] would be a winning combination)
[name]Magnolia[/name]

[name]Casper[/name]
