For the boys, I have:

Jem
Jesse
Flynn
Hudson
Emrys
Cavan

And for the girls:

Quinn
Wren
Eden (nn Edie)
Bonnie
Rosalie
Annaliese/Elise

Any thoughts?

I like Jesse and Jem a lot.

Bonnie is a very sweet name.

I like Jem, Jesse and Flynn. Cavan is a place - Emrys I'm guessing is Welsh so fine if you are too!

Girls - Quinn is too Glee. Wren - too much of a bird. Eden - OK. Bonnie and Rosalie - nice. Annaliese is pretty.

I like Flynn but we have a Finn in our family so think people would make a fuss about that. We really like Quinn for a girl too but the faces family pulled when we suggested that! We are no longer sharing name thoughts with others as their reactions are just annoying!

They're my faves out of your choices tho

Really like Jem. My favourite girl's name is Anneliese, and I also like Rosalie.

Why do you need to choose sir names for a boy, don't you already have a Sir name ?

Dave
Steve
John
Rob

OR.........a bunch of pretentious daft names that nobody has hardly heard of !

Like all your boys names except Hudson, and would probably only use Jem as nn for Jeremy.
Girls names, I like Wren, Rosalie and Elise.
Really don't like Eden. It makes me think stripper name, sorry.
Quinn is originally a boy's name, but it's used for boys and girls in North America.
Bonnie, well my cousin's daughter is called that and is unfortunately not bonnie, so it can be a hard name to wear I think.

I love Jem as a nn for Jeremy.

Quite like Flynn but maybe reminds me of a dog's name.

Love Rosalie and Annaliese for a girl.

Quite like Eden.

Eden is a boy here too and Quin sounds like a boy.
Cavan is a bit odd, the rest of your boys names are ok. Flynn or Emrys from choice.
Annalise and Elsie are lovely as is Rosalie, Bonnie is a touch Nicknamy,

Wren could grow on me (it happens to be a surname of some one I know, so I hadn't fought of it as a first name).

In the same vein I love Bryony, Heather and Hazel.

I like jem

I know a boy called eden and I sort of thought quinn was a boy name too, sorry! I like edie though!
