Boys I love a George Henry and Johnathon

Thanks @Leopardprintboots, we must have similar taste!

What do you think the correct spelling of Johnathan is? There seems to be a few variations but I'm not sure which are 'valid'

Rufus Henry
Juno Sadie
All lovely.
Jonathan is proper spelling I think

Jonathan is the most commonly used spelling (I’ve just checked the ONS data) so I’d pick that one

They are all lovely, good shortlist!

I'd rule out George - as a royal name it'll be very popular.

I was going to caution against Juno, but I think it's Ok

Maybe Lottie, Lyra, Aimee

Lottie is out, as it's already used in the family.

I love Lyra but I do worry with the His Dark Materials series on BBC it will be a very-2020-name.

Love Magnus Henry

Love your boys names especially Magnus and Jonathan. I find George and Henry a little dull.
How about Dominic or Quentin?

From your girls list I only like Saskia. How about Clara?
