Alistair is the Scots version of Alexander which I think is Latin, from the Greek Alexandros

Boys:
Caius- not too keen on your pronunciation. I would have said the first syllable more like Kye/ Kai
Orin- like
Marius- nice but does remind me of Mario brothers!
Lucien- like it.
Zacchaeus (nn Zach)- okay
Julius- great!

Girls:
Violetta/violette- unsual pn again. Violet is v pretty but it still reminds me of violent/ violate and other unpleasant words :(
Aurelia- lovely
Francesca- ditto
Giulietta- how do you pronounce this?
Valentina- love- on my lists
Allegra- ditto above

Other ideas: Paloma, Aurora, Camelia, Zinnia, Marina, Athena/e, Clementina, Serena, Sabine, Estella
Matthias, Lorenzo, Alessandro, Lysander, Oberon, Balthazar
