Cressida
Not sure about the boy's names tbh. Not too keen on any. Prefer greg or leo to the longer versions. Would probably go with Henry actually.

Henry and Olivia (although it is popular at the moment, if that bothers you).

Henry and Olivia from that list.
Also like Leonard and Gregory, but don't like any of the other girls names, sorry!

Francis nn Frank is cool for a boy.

I like Rosa not that keen on Rosalba - never heard of it before tbh.

Olivia is lovely.

Leonard!! thats a great name!
Clemence reminds me of Clement so i find it masculine. Maybe Clementina or Clementine? x

Like Gregory best of the boys names.

Like Olivia but it is too popular now so wouldn't choose it. Not keen on Cressida or Clemence.

Never heard of Rosalba before - quite like it. Would you have a nickname for the baby's early years, e.g. Rosie or Rosa?

wow thanks for responses.. I'm going to need to start a tally here... bit of a shame that Olivia is so popular... I'm not sure if it bothers me or not. Im glad nobody hates any of them at least.

Have you considered Clemency? Prettier than Clemence.

Francis is lovely.

Olivia is my favourite girls name from the list but it was a bit too popular for me so we went for a similar alternative instead.

Gregory (Although I prefer Gregor) and Francis

Don't love any of the girls names, Olivia is a nice name though.

I was thinking Clemence because I like Florence but my best friend has just called her little girl Florence so thats out of the running.

I like
Gregory, Henry and Leonard.

The girls' names don't float my boat, But Frances/Francesca would be nice.

How about Frances? The female version, for a girl.

pronounced ROZ-ALBA... Its the Italian version of Rose basically. My grandmother is Italian and mentioned it as an idea and I loved it.
