From your lists I like Imogen, Zara and Elliott I prefer Lucian to Lucas.

They are all nice names so just go with the ones you and your DP like the most! I personally love Sienna the most. The only name I probably wouldn't go for is Rupert as it's just not to my taste.

They're all lovely apart from Charlie (boy) who are all naughty these days.

I'd drop Rupert as I think it's wet, and would go for Charles rather than Charlie, but the rest are all fine.

Of the girls' names I think Emilia is the normal spelling rather than Emelia.

My own favourites to go with Henry are Joshua & Zara or Imogen.

My niece is called Amelia and she suits her name down to a tee. Maybe decide on the name once you've seen the baby and spent time with him or her for a bit.

I LOVE all of those names - they're all ones I've though about in the past.

For me, I love Alexandra the most - so many cute nn too!

Can I throw another boys name into the mix that I love? Caspar.

I really like both your lists.

From the boys I like Oscar, Elliot and Joshua best. Not keen on Rupert.

From the girls I like Zara best. Alexandra and Sienna also nice. Not keen on
Esme or Emilia.
