You have some lovely names!

Leo- quite nice but a bit over used
Max- ok
Caleb- hmm, not sure, a bit too biblical for me
Theo- love (top choice for our DS due in March)
Jasper- love it
Freddie- love it but would give longer version with Freddie for short (Fredrick, Alfred, Wilfred)

Iris- quite nice
Joy- don't like at all
Hazel- ok
Piper- love! My favourite from your list
Willow- ok
Ivy- not keen, I know a million baby Ivys and think it's a bit faddy. Prefer Olive which is similar but far more original (in my opinion!)

I have a Leo and think it's a wonderful name! It suits little boys, teenagers and men. MN often say 'it's (too) popular' (with reason tbf as it's fairly high up the charts) but I've only come across 2 others in all my family/ friends/ acquaintances/ nursery/ baby groups etc. Arthur, Samuel, Harry and Max all seem far more popular. I'm in the SE.
Of your girls names I like Ivy, Willow and Hazel Smile

I like Leo, Jasper and Frederick (not Freddie alone)
For girls I really like Iris and Joy. I quite like Ivy and know a lovely Piper.
