Henry
George
Benjamin
William

Catherine
Charlotte
Emily
Annabel etc..

I know the above are popular but think they work well with your names - all classic and traditional IMO.

Yellowflowers - Yes, dead easy

The Telegraph has a search option - just type in the name and birth announcements and the dates you want to search from and it will bring up a list of names. It will bring up all names, so you have to filter out the names of the parents, but it is pretty easy to do.
