Top three girls (this was really difficult since there are so many lovely names!):
Susannah - I prefer it without the h but I think it's beautiful and underused
Helena - Also beautiful, feminine and underused
Ariadne - I've always loved this, I like the Greek mythology connections and I think it has a great sound
Least favourite girls:
Amelia - I don't like the 'mealy' sound and it's so so popular where I'm from
Phoebe - I dislike the sound, it reminds me of the word 'feeble'
Felicity - Again I don't like the sound, it's kind of lispy
Top three boys:
Samuel - It's a handsome classic, I like the nn Sam
Paul - I'd really like to see it used more often on babies / children
James - It's pretty much perfect
Least favourite boys:
Elliott - Really dislike this, it sounds kind of smug for some reason
Orion - I know a really annoying Orion
Gideon - reminds me of the word 'giddy'
