Happy Birthday!
My thoughts:
Girls -
9/10:
AliceVery nice! My fifth favorite girls' name at the moment. I prefer the Welsh form
Alis, though
8/10:
Lydia,
Marie,
Josephine,
CarolineLydia and
Josephine are very pretty! Not currently on my favorites list, but they'll probably get on there someday.
Marie is my 14th favorite girls' name right now. I'm fond of
Caroline. I think I prefer
Coraline, but they're both very nice.
7/10:
Julia,
Anastasia,
Maddalena,
Fleur,
IvyThese are all either names that are very pretty but not quite my taste (first 3) or names I used to really like but have lost their appeal (last 2)
6/10:
Maria,
Charlotte,
Clementine,
Sophia,
Rosalie,
LaurelThese are names that aren't my taste, or I've had unfortunate associations with.
Sofia would be a 7/10.
Rose, my 4th favorite girls' name at the moment, would be a 9/10.
5/10:
Helen,
Eleni,
Emma,
Matilda,
IsabelaI can see the appeal of these names, but they either just don't feel quite right (first two) or I don't like (last three).
4/10:
Melanie,
Giulia,
MadelineNames I'm not a fan of.
2/10:
Eleanor.
I just can't stand
Eleanor, unfortunately.
Boys -
9/10:
AntonioSomehow this name isn't in my favorite boys' fifty, but I love it.
8/10:
Owen,
Jonathan,
ThomasThese are in my favorite boys' fiftyish. All good associations.
7/10:
Joseph,
Nathan,
Elliot,
Andrew,
Theodore,
GeorgeFirst four were old favorites that have lost some of their appeal. The last two aren't favorite, but names I find very cute.
6/10:
William,
James,
Charles,
Matthew,
Eric,
Good names, but a little plain. I like
Will and
Charlie, though. Except,
Eric.
Eric is just a name I don't have opinions on.
5/10:
Daniel,
RyanNot fond of either.
4/10:
JackNot a fan.
3/10:
BrianLess of a fan.
Overall, I like your list of names! Most of them aren't my style, though.
