Jasmine - like
Lexie - nms
Daisy - nms
Lena - nms
Ruby - do like it but it's waaaay too popular for me

fifi-trixibelle
girls names are:
Evie- lovely, but I definitely prefer it as a nickname only to Eva, Eve or even Genevieve
Ivy- lovely
Tiffany- I've never liked it
Camille- very nice
Charlize- really dislike
Jasmine- ok
Lexie- cute, but I see this as a nickname only to Alexandra, Alexis etc
Daisy- nice
Lena- ok, but not too keen
Ruby- lovely
Piper- ok
Tallulah- lovely
Niharika- never seen this before but can't say I like it
Karera- same as above

Boys names are:
Tyson- really dislike
Jasper- lovely
Stanley- ok
Franklin- ok, but a bit goofy
Miles- very nice
Dashiell- nice
Raphael- lovely



I would choose from Ivy, Ruby and Tallulah for a girl and Raphael and Jasper are my favourites for a boy. I think I'd lean towards Tallulah and Raphael for a baby of that appearance though.

I'm going to choose Tallulah for a girl and Stanley for a boy.

Girls ones I like

Ivy
Camille
Lena
Ruby
Piper


Boys names
Dashiell
Raphael
Miles

Your boys' list is funny, I LOVE these 100% and the others are extremely going the other way, no offense.

The girls' names are less extreme reactions, mostly. Like many are nice with fewer loves or hates. I quite like these though.
SlinkyMalinki
Evie - Not too bad, but I do think of the song.
Ivy - Very nice.
Tiffany - 80s Bogan
Camille - I don't think it's very 'pretty'.
Charlize - Okay, but NMS
Jasmine - Pretty
Lexie - Sounds like it should be short for something
Daisy - I think of Daisy the Cow
Lena - Don't mind it
Ruby - Way to common
Piper - Not very pretty
Tallulah - NMS
niharika - Different, but people might have problems pronouncing it.
karera - Sounds like a car.


Boys names are

Tyson - Bogan
Jasper - Quite like this
Stanley - Reminds me of one of my old teachers, don't think fondly of it
Franklin - The turtle from the cartoon
Miles - Love this
Dashiell - Love this one too
Raphael - Nice, like Raffa for a nickname
Bel Rowley
My favourites are Camille and Raphael wub.gif .

Me too! original.gif
What diverse reactions you are getting here!
I also like Lexie, Piper and Jasmine (though I know a beautiful mixed race Chinese/Western Gypsy girl with this name and it fits so perfectly its hard to imagine on anyone else!)

For boys I can't get past the Mike association for Tyson
Raphael I love, but it could be a difficult name to wear, and I prefer the nn "Rafe"
Dashiel could be cool, love the nn "Dash" too.

Good luck! And hope everything goes wonderfully well for you!

I like Camille, Lena, Evie, and Karera for girls' names, but only Miles for a boy.

Maybe try and convince DP to use Stanley as a middle name or, if that doesn't work, maybe play that Eminem song over and over until he gets a bad association?

I think Miles Franklin is a good name combination (lol).

Evie for a girl original.gif
I have an Evelyn (we call her Evie from time to time).
I also have a Tiffany and my little girl really suits it and we love it (she has curly blonde hair, blue eyes & big smile). Not sure if it would suit Indian as much.

Ruby and Piper and Jasper from your list original.gif

:ButterBall:
do you think the appearence of the baby should influence the name for example if the baby is very dark with dark curly hair,,,which i suspect will be the case..do u think some of the names on my list are too...for lack of a better way to say.."white girl" names...my little sister seems to think so....
genyuser
My thoughts:

Evie: very sweet
Ivy: ok but NMS
Tiffany: like this but as a mn eg Lilah Tiffany
Camille: NMS
Charlize: wub.gif
Jasmine: wub.gif
Lexie: cute but prefer as a nn for Alexandra, Alexis, Alexa, Alexia
Daisy: NMS
Lena: NMS
Ruby: I like it as a mn
Piper: wub.gif
Tallulah: NMS
niharika: NMS
karera: NMS

IMO these make good combo's - Piper Jasmine, Charlize Ruby, Evie Charlize, Jasmine Charlize.

Tyson: NMS
Jasper" ok
Stanley: NMS
Franklin: NMS
Miles: ok but NMS
Dashiell: ok
Raphael: wub.gif

IMO Raphael is stand out best from your boys name.

I love Daisy and Lena from your list.

I used to know a German piano player called Lena. She was just beautiful and talented. So maybe I am biased.Also quite like Jasmine

Boys is harder.
I do like Miles. But Raphael is outstanding. Very nice
