Suggestions for boys and girls please - classic but a little unusual

[Astrophe]

We are expecting DC 5 and are a bit stumped...all our favourites being already used up on the others.

Here is a list of names we like- our DC names are on here, plus others we like but can't use for various reasons ( too similar, family members with same names etc). Our preference is for classic names that are not massively common (though some on the list are fairly common), but not too wacky.

I'd love some more ideas! Only 11 weeks so far and don't know the sex.

Elise
Beatrice
Anna
Francesca
Elsie
Adelaide
Lucia
Clementine

James
Alfred/Alfie
Elijah
William/Billy
Theodore/Teddy
Solomon
Moses

[CormoranStrike]

Rosalind
Juliet
Lydia


Theodore
Benjamin
Nathaniel

Caroline is another lovely name, due a reviva, or maybe Susanna.

Harriet

Boys names are harder as I only have DDs so I never got to pick boys names!
I really like all the Scottish boys names:
Douglas
Duncan
Dougal
Fergus
...but I'm not sure these go with your existing DC names so well if those are mainly biblical origin. We aren't Scottish and my DH would have vetoed these names anyway but I still really like them.

[Artandco]

Penelope
Daphne

Constantine
Valentine
Conrad
Julian

[Astrophe]

Oh Tagetes our surname is De Ville ;-)

I like these, thanks everyone.
Josephine, susannah, Valentine (but not Val as a non so maybe not),

Yes babyand, I'd love to hear the Irish names, but we wouldn't choose anything with Irish spelling, we are not in the uk and nobody would know hoe to say it (possibly including me!)

[Astrophe]

Also liking Helena or maybe Eleanor with nn Nell.
How would people pronounce Helena?

Hel-EN-a
Hel-ay-na
Helen-a

[AliciaMayEmory]

Helena is very pretty. Friend of mine pronounces it Helen-a.

[babyand]

I would say it like hel-een-a

Some irish names i like are
Ciara (kiera)
Niamh
Sadhbh ( sive)
Cliona
Aoibheann (aveen)
Saoirse (sersha)
Aisling (ashling)
Aoife (efa)
Clodagh (klo-da)


But as you say they will be hard to read for non irish people!

Other traditional names i like are

Alice
Annie
Grace
Olivia
Kate

[Astrophe]

Thanks- Grace is very pretty but there seem to be many around where I live. Annie is lovely but already in the family.

I love those Irish names but yeah, too hard to pronounce where we live. How do you spell the name that sounds like Aylee? I love that one too.

[babyand]

Eilidh :)

Evelyn is nice! Irish- eibhlin
Or rosie?

[Astrophe]

Evelyn is beautiful but DH has an elderly relative he doesn't like called Evelyn!
Rosie is pretty too.
