Imogen. Okay but even if I had to name 100:girls. This would not even make it to boot camp for the short list
Leia is that pronounced Leah? if so the yes.
--Rieva. No makes me think of Ribena_
Joelle
Emilia Kind of torn on this one. It's a nice name but starting become over used, but if popularity doesn't bother you that's fine.
Olivia is gorgeous, suits you right through out your life. But again very very popular.
Mila
--Georgina

On to the boys names.

Cole, Yes.
Caden
Theo. Yes
Bradley
Cody.

Imogen (Immy)- Love this, feminine without being overly girly or fussy.
Leia- Princess? no
Rieva- too similar to Reeva (Steinkamp) for me.
Joelle- no

Georgina (Georgie)- I like this.

I like Imogen best of your girls names.

The other girls names are all OK. I dont know the name Rieva, though??
Riva is a french girls name, which I like a lot.

Not keen on your boys names - just not to my taste. I'd say Theo is the best of them, probably because it is slightly more classic.

Imogen (Immy) - My all time favourite girls name. Prefer Imo to Immy but love both.
Leia - Princess. No.
Rieva - reminds me of Oscar Pistorius' girlfriend, so no
Joelle - no, v Australian for some reason
Emilia - Emmie Emmy Emie - Love Emilia, but over used
Mila - No
Olivia (livvy) - Lovely, classic
Georgina (Georgie) - Also a real classic, lovely

Cole
Caden
Theo
Bradley
Cody

  • to be honest none of your boys names are my taste. Theo wins, but I'd prefer it as a nn for Theodore
