I love Stella, Vivienne, Wren and Sebastian- have you thought about:

Rosa
Celeste
Hector
Dexter

I love Hector - but that's my dad's nickname for Evan - he's a Classics teacher; he's rooting for Persephone for a girl 😂

I also love Dexter but that's a puppy name in my area..

I think my girls list is alright; one or two may end up kicked off along the way but fairly watertight list I reckon testofthehormones

I wanted Parker and Jasper for Evan; I'm pleased my husband vetoed Parker and I can't love Jasper this time around 😭

When I read your thread title, I instantly shouted Margot (in my head obviously Grin).

Maybe Caspar for a boy?

Jasper would be lovely! I like Sebastian too.

Hector is fab for a boy, or how about:

Alistair/Alastair
August
Otto
Miles
Nathaniel
Caspar
Lucian
Felix

For a girl, I actually love Persephone! Is that bad? Blush Maybe:

Violet/Viola
Isolde
Clara
Beatrix
Felicity
Juniper
Helena
Rhoswen

Ahh my people have came to me 😍

Just looked up the different spellings of Alistair/Alastair

I also love Nathaniel..my mum rooted for it when I was pregnant, we liked "Luke" too - but the accent six miles up the road has it pronounced as "luck"

And Helene and Helena? I don't think they work with a Belfast accent 🙁 even though I love Helena Bonham Carter

Persephone is a beautiful name; but a Persephone around here is always gonna be Percy Phone 🙁

Oh I like Francesca and Fraser..

They're lovely 😍

Great suggestions everyone, some absolute crackers there and a few added to my lists

I dislike the trend of Hayden, Jayden, Kayden etc - nothing wrong with them, just not to my taste and they're very overused in NI. Oliver, Archie, Alfie, Charlie etc are lovely but very overused so looking something a bit more different but not ridiculous iyswim

Stella is beautiful. And it sounds great with Evan.

My BIL is an Evan, so his brother (my DH) is a Christopher.

I know of 2 Evan's ... one has a sister called Zoe, and the other a brother called Owen. Both of which I think go really well.

Great list Sophronia

I don't love the name Evan. I mean obviously I like it, and it suits my little boy down to the ground - but I do find myself getting sad sometimes when I overthink it..so I must love this new name

My list - which DH hasn't looked at yet, now consists of -

Sebastian
Rafael
Miles
Nathan
Fraser

And I don't love any of them 😭 maybe Sebastian..

That was supposed to be "Nathaniel" not Nathan (although I guess he'd get Nathan by his teenage years)

Okay inspire me -

Rudy?

Although I think I need a longer name that isn't Rudolph? 😂
