Hello, at 30 weeks pregnant my OH and I have started to think about names for our DC. As this will be our first we are looking for people's general thoughts on our name ideas.

Boys
Lennox
Atticus
Chester
Phoenix
Orlando
Austin

Girls
Emilia (nn Lila)
Eloise
Isla
Gabriella
India
Scarlett

What are your opinions on these? Ideally we want our DC to be the only one in their class with their name but don't want it to be too unusual/no one can understand or say it. Do you have any other suggestions that would fit our criteria?

Haven't got as far as middles names, but just the one and would probably come from the list as well. Which do you think go as fn/mn combinations?

Lennox - Annie but then also Lewis so Yeah it is perfectlyy fine
Atticus - To kill a mockingbird, it is alright very grown up if that makes sense
Chester - a rabbit
Phoenix - reminds me of River and Joaquin. But as you like names like that it is nice
Orlando - Bloom, but people will recognice it as a first name straight away, but I'm not a fan
Austin - Healey

Emilia (nn Lila) - not a big fan
Eloise - again not my thing, but it is alright
Isla - like it but maybe wont be only one in class
Gabriella - It is alright
India - if you like India I prefer Indiana
Scarlett - I like it

Your boys name are slightly more unusual than your girls. Are you having a mn? ideas?
