GIRLS
Millie - Cute, different to ever popular Molly
Evie - Gorgeous and I think this ages perfectly.
Poppy - Gorgeous and definately not too cute for an adult, konw a few adult Poppy's
Libby - Its ok
Rosie - Rosie is gorgeous and I completely disagree with you, I know a child Rosie, a 40 year old woman Rosie adn a grandmother Rosie adn they suit their names perfect.
Demi - Uh.. Demi more...
Tilly - Ditto with Rosie, I know a 80 year old woman who loves for everyone to call her Grandma Tilly. Suits her well. her daughter is also Tilly. Know a few in their teens too.
BOYS
Lewis - Like this
Alfie - Uh. I would rather be Alfie than stuffy Alfred. Alfie is very cute. Would you say the same about Charlie?
Harvey - Cute
Leo - Gorgeous!
Archie - Why call a child a full name you wont use? Its stupid. Archie is lovely by itself.
Finlay - Lovely
Harley - Not a fan
Freddie - Prefer Frederick
Luca - Gorgeous
Ellis - Gorgeous and Masculine
Zak - Not a fan.
I would see a child Archie as the full name rather than see a child Archibald "Archie" who didn't even know his full naem adn who never used it. It drives me nuts when parents do that.
I know a guy called Harry, he didn't know his actual name was Henry till he was 13!
The English have way better names than the American. I would rather be an Evie than a Mackenzie (g)

I'd have to agree with you there. Just looking at the list here for CA BAs and FL BAs make me cringe. It should be a federal crime what people are naming their kids these days!
That said, I'm really happy with the surge of old-fashioned names that I've been seeing in my area. Names like Ellie, Sophia, Olivia, Hannah, Abigail, Julia, etc. Some are overused, but I'd rather see these beautiful names overused than underused, and I'd rather hear of yet another Olivia than to see a Jazzmin or a MaKayla.

When people think of American names they always think of the crappy ones that people use. I think American names are basically just a general survey of what people around the world name their children, considering we have a high mixture of people from every country in the world, whereas other countries don't have such a wide mixture or "melting pot". So, when you criticize an American name, you are also criticizing names from other countries or that come from people of various nationalities at the same time.

Australia does, and so do various other immigration-based nations. The US is hardly unique.
