I would sag Augustine is the girl's version; August or Augustus for a buy.

Jonathon is always a lovely name.

Helen is nice.

Augustine = female
Augustin = male

I like it, but prefer (in fact love) Augustus.
Don't like Johnny at all.

Roanna and Zuleika are lovely girls's names.

Thanks, I actually like Helen for a girl lots but concerns are it's either a bit much to live up to (Helen of Troy) or a bit dull on the other hand?

Not really my tastes, but Jonathon is always a nice name for boys.

I like them all -- I think I prefer Helena to Helen. Sorry, no help.

I don't think Helen will be seen as at all dull. There must be very few baby Helens these days so she might seem rather exotic.

How about Rowena or Helena?

Augustin or Jonathan both nice.

Love Zuleika. Not the others.

Roanna sounds made up. Rosanna is lovely.

Augustine can be male, in fact I would assume it was. As in St Augustine.

Like both Augustine and Johnny, in fact Augustine is one of my fantasy boy's middle names, not brave enough to have it as a first name (although it has been the first name of lots of my (male) ancestors.)
