[Opinions] Re: Top 10 for August
in reply to a message by Janan
Leona- I'm starting to get bored of it, I hear it a lot where I'm from.
Susanna- It's a bit dated but it's nice.
Diana- I like it but it's getting a bit dated. In the UK it's very strongly associated with Princess Diana.
Hazel- It's nice but it's whats written on my passport as my eye colour so to me it's like naming my kid Brown or Blue.
Lara- Sounds unfinished.
Naomi- Love it. I prefer it pronounced Nie-o-mee.
Maria- I like it, it's overused as a middle name but I don't really hear it as a first name.
Rachel- I like it. Sadly it's very over used where I'm from. I don't like the Rachael spelling.
Philippa- Love it, I love the nickname Pippa.Tristan- I like it, it's on my list but I don't like it enough to ever use.
Alexander- I love it, I would use it as a middle name due to it being a family name.
William- Love it, I might use it because it's another family name.
Theo- I love it, I'd use it as a nickname for Theodore.
Edward- I love it, it's classic. Ted is a great nickname, I also like Eddie.
Philip- I love it, I don't like Phil though. In the UK it'll either be associated with Prince Philip or Phillip Schofield.
Morgan- I don't like it, it makes me think of Piers Morgan.
Isaac- I like it, I prefer the spelling Isaak.
James- Love it, would use.
Robin- I like it but I prefer it on a girl.https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/181940/115850

I'm in the UK too and have never met a Leona, I have met a couple of Leonie's though. I know several Philip's and no one mentions the Prince or Schofield.

I’m from Scotland so that might explain why I’ve heard it so much and where I’m from people aren’t the biggest fan of Prince Philip so that might be why it’s a bigger association.
