I like all except Osa
I like Lily & Ben (as a nn for Benjamin)
I feel like I’m seeing more short O names recently. Osa, Olin, and Otto come to mind.
There was a visiting faculty member in my MFA (creative writing) program with a son named Osa. The faculty member is a nonbinary white person, and I think their partner is also white. Curious!
I like Max as a full name or as a nn for Maxwell; I also like Ben as a nn for Benjamin or Bennet. For a girl, I prefer Alexa to Alexis. Harry is better than Harrison, but not a favourite. Osa and Lily do not appeal to me at all.
I like Lily, Ben(preferably with the full name Benjamin) and Alexis.
I like Lily & Maxwell. Osa is unusual. It's multi cultural Spanish, Basque, Japanese & African. It's also a surname and a girl name. I wonder what heritage Osa is from? Maybe Nigerian?The names Harrison, Ben & Alexis are ok.
I like Osa and Alexis
