[name_u]Joey[/name_u]
[name_u]Noah[/name_u]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]

Anybody have any ideas for us- would be gratefully received

I like:
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f]
[name_f]Aubree[/name_f]

[name_u]Dylan[/name_u]
[name_u]Noah[/name_u]
[name_u]Theo[/name_u]
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]

Suggestions:

[name_u]Ainsley[/name_u]
[name_f]Aundrea[/name_f] [awhn-dray-uh]
[name_f]Maren[/name_f]
[name_f]Maven[/name_f]
[name_f]Marcie[/name_f]

[name_m]Draven[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Tobias[/name_m]
[name_f]Journey[/name_f]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m]

If you really want something uncommon, I think [name_f]Talia[/name_f] or [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] are good choices. They’re recognizable but not super common (round the 200s).

[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u] is #15, so that’s hardly rare (spelling it incorrectly doesn’t make it more unique). And [name_u]Noah[/name_u] is #4, so again, very common.

Some less common names that are still recognizable:
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f]
[name_f]Leona[/name_f]
[name_u]Blair[/name_u]
[name_f]Sharon[/name_f]
[name_f]Coraline[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilith[/name_f]
[name_f]Sonia[/name_f]

[name_m]Anders[/name_m]
[name_m]Duncan[/name_m]
[name_m]Heath[/name_m]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u]
[name_m]Samson[/name_m]

[name_f]Maisie[/name_f] -lovely name but I prefer it as nn to [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] - another favorite of mine if spelled [name_f]Lila[/name_f] (the y makes it seem very trendy)
[name_f]Talia[/name_f]- pretty name - probably the most unique name on your list if that is what you are looking for.
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f] - okay but it seems like [name_f]Kayla[/name_f] without the K
[name_f]Aubree[/name_f] - seems like a trendy mispelling of [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]

Boys
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] - seems somewhat 90;s but a great name
[name_u]Bobby[/name_u] - only like this as the nn of a young child named [name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_u]Joey[/name_u]- only like this as the nn of a young child named [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] - way too popular at the moment
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] - great name - my favorite boys name on your list
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] - I like this and it is unique

As you can tell from my signature I love unique names but feel that they probably wouldn’t fit your style. Out of your list I like:
[name_f]Lyla[/name_f]- My fave of your girls names, I also like [name_u]Lyric[/name_u] as a name.
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f]- [name_f]May[/name_f] encounter pronunciation issues but I do like it as a name.
[name_f]Aubree[/name_f]- A darling name!
[name_u]Noah[/name_u]- [name_f]Love[/name_f] the Biblical reference and sweet sounding name.
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m]- My favourite of your boys names! Sounds lovely and is unique enough but not weird.

Girls
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f] - [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] is cute but I prefer it as a nn to [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] or even [name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Lyla[/name_f] - I like [name_f]Lila[/name_f] but its not uncommon. I know a lot of little [name_f]Lilas[/name_f]
[name_f]Talia[/name_f] - I think this would be a great choice, very pretty
[name_f]Ayla[/name_f] - Feels incomplete but its definitely uncommon. I only know one [name_f]Ayla[/name_f].
[name_f]Aubree[/name_f] - [name_f]Aubree[/name_f] is actually really popular. Its in the top 100

Boys
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] - Its okay. [name_f]Kinda[/name_f] boring
[name_u]Bobby[/name_u] - Cute as an nn for [name_m]Robert[/name_m]
[name_u]Joey[/name_u] - Cute as an nn for [name_m]Joseph[/name_m], [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] or [name_m]Josiah[/name_m]
[name_u]Noah[/name_u] - [name_f]Love[/name_f] this name, but very popular
[name_u]Theo[/name_u] - This would be perfect. Cute, uncommon but not out there.
[name_m]Jasper[/name_m] - NMS but nice.

[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_f]Audra[/name_f]
[name_f]Isla[/name_f]
[name_f]Calista[/name_f] (nn [name_f]Callie[/name_f])
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]

[name_m]Leo[/name_m]
[name_m]Griffin[/name_m]
[name_u]Toby[/name_u]
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m]
[name_u]Micah[/name_u]
[name_m]Fletcher[/name_m]

My favorites are [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] and [name_u]Theo[/name_u] from your list!

Suggestions:
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Maven[/name_f]
[name_f]Calliope[/name_f]

[name_m]Atticus[/name_m]
[name_m]Graham[/name_m]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Nico[/name_u]
[name_m]Gavin[/name_m]

From your list, I think [name_f]Talia[/name_f] would be the best choice, with [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] as a runner up.

And for boys, [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] or [name_u]Theo[/name_u].

Thanks guys really helpful to get other people’s opinions and insights.

We’re from [name_f]England[/name_f] so some names aren’t as popular here but still good to know.

Also great to add some different names to the mix so if anyone has any other ideas please share :slight_smile:

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I’m 20 so I won’t have use for these names for some time.

[name_f]Ada[/name_f]: connected to [name_f]Ada[/name_f] Lovelace who helped work on the first computers

I had a friend in middle school named [name_f]Aislyn[/name_f].

Recent Nameberry searches brought up [name_u]Malin[/name_u] (apparently diminutive of [name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]) which can be unisex.

[name_m]Renn[/name_m]/[name_f]Wren[/name_f] as a unisex name. [name_m]Iain[/name_m] (eye-in) and [name_u]Jameson[/name_u].

Congrats, btw!

I love [name_f]Talia[/name_f] & [name_u]Dylan[/name_u]. Also, [name_m]Perseus[/name_m] ([name_u]Percy[/name_u]) and [name_f]Malaya[/name_f].

I like [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] and [name_m]Jasper[/name_m]. I also like [name_f]Maisie[/name_f]. [name_f]Talia[/name_f]'s quite common in Australia so I can’t see the uniqueness of it. [name_u]Noah[/name_u], [name_u]Dylan[/name_u] and [name_f]Aubree[/name_f] are common as is [name_f]Layla[/name_f] so its likely that [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] will be confused with [name_f]Layla[/name_f].
