GIRLS
Millie- I think this is really cute. I probably wouldn't use it myself but would LOVE to see it on another child. Millicent is charming also.
Evie - I think Evie is pretty. I don't have a problem w/ an adult having this name.
Poppy - This seems a little cartoonish or contrived and I ALWAYS think of The Wizard of Oz. Poppies, poppies...
Libby - My dog's name. I recently decided that Libby wasn't enough of a fullname for her so I renamed her officially Elizabeth Tayloir, but we still call her Libby. Cute, but I don't see it as a standalone
Rosie - I have never liked this name or any variant of Rose besides Rosemary
Demi - I think Demi Moore is the reason for the popularity
Tilly - This is really cute. But I wouldn't use it
BOYS
Lewis - I really like this, especially as a mn
Alfie - Yuck
Harvey - Not my favorite, not horrible
Leo -It's ok, but nms
Archie - I dislike it
Finlay - I prefer Finnegan
Harley - Yuck. I think of motorcycles.
Freddie - I don't like Fred, Freddie or Fredrick
Luca - This is ok
Ellis - Not terrible, not great.
Zak - I dislike this as a stand alone.
