Nice name list :)

My favourites are Rowan, Tilda and Xanthe.

[Squtternutbaush]

I like Rowan, Xanthe and Fern as unisex names.

Not keen on the others.

[MummyBeerest]

Patrick and Rowan
Iris and Tilda

[eachtigertires]

Daniel, Rowan and Patrick

[icklekid]

I like Daniel and Fern!

[Guin1]

Boys: like Peter and Daniel
Girls: really like Xanthe (it's on my list for DD). Like Iris but unfortunately very similar to Isis. Tilda reminds me of the brand of rice.

[Murphy29]

I really like Daniel and Patrick but not too keen on the girls names

[Mouthfulofquiz]

I love Patrick and Fern

[Allalonenow]

My favourite from your boys list is Patrick.
I'm not at all keen on Rowan, as it seems a bit dated now.

I like Fern very much.
Not keen on the rest of the list, Matilda has been hugely popular recently, and many of them will get Tilda as a nn, so I wouldn't use it for that reason.

[elotrolado]

Patrick and Rowan (also like Rohan)
Fern and Iris

[shakemysilliesout]

Peter! Love it.

Love all your boys names but don't like your girls list at all. Sorry.

[shakemysilliesout]

Dyliss I strongly dislike

[florascotia]

I like all the boy names - if I had to choose, then Patrick.

No so keen on the girl names - but of your list, I like Dilys (usual spelling, surely?) the best.

[tiredteddy]

Pleased to see so many likes for fern! Another vote here. I have one and it really suits her. Seemed quite a serious name when she was newborn and she mostly got called baby fern. She has grown into it totally and we get a lot of compliments.

[manicinsomniac]

Daniel - quite like it. Classic and solid
Rowan - love it. Also really like it for a girl.
Peter - it's ok. Another solid, timeless one
Patrick - love it

Dyllis - Is this the same name as Dilys? I see it as old lady but unrevived and really don't like it.
Iris - I really do like this despite it also being old lady. I'm inconsistent I guess.
Fern - not keen. Seems a bit severe to me somehow
Tilda - don't like it as a whole name. I love Matilda though
Xanthe - love it. I have a baby Xanthe and haven't ever met another one.

Rowan or Patrick and Xanthe are my favourites.

[Sophronia]

I like Iris and Peter

[loislines]

I really like Dilys (but would spell it like this). Peter is lovely from your boys list (my DS's middle name).

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Love Rowan.
Hate Dyllis.

[Dinosaursdontgrowontrees]

Love Dylis.. So adorable!

[DramaAlpaca]

I like Daniel, Peter & Patrick from your boys list.

I only like Fern from your girls list.

[bouncingbelle]

Daniel, Rowan and Patrick are all equally great. Peter much less so, tho still an underused classic - just a bit dull tho.

Please don't use Dyliss - she WILL be nicknamed dildo at school
Tilda just sounds like you can't be bothered saying Matilda.
Xanthe reminds me of A party island and boozy holidays.

Iris and Fern are GORGEOUS!

[moxon]

Rowan and Patrick
Tilda Iris and Fern.

[BikeRunSki]

I love all those names!

My only reservations - Daniel seems s lot more "mainstream" that the other names. Tilda always seems like an abbreviation to me.

I love Peter and Patrick. Good solid names. And Iris - feminine but not twee.

[SnoringNorma]

Thank you... let battle commence! OH loves Rowan and Iris best, I like Patrick and Fern although I do understand about the sternness. Are any of the other spellings any better?

[Squtternutbaush]

I don't really think spelling makes a difference to the name as it'll still sound the same but I do know a female Fearne and a male Fern.

They're only babies for a very short time and IMO I'd rather have a serious name that they'll grow into than a cutesy twee name (not that you have any on your list, just in general) they'll outgrow if that makes sense.
