The list I have so far is:
Bertram
Cecil
Everard
Gilbert
Grayson
Joshua
Laurence
Miles
Sebastian
Stuart
Theodore
Timothy
Toby

I really like Grayson. The only ones DH likes are Timothy and Stuart.

Girls names I like are Cecily, Celeste, Beatrice but there isn't one I love.

Thoughts?

I like Freya or Mia rose and Isabelle!

And for a boy Cameron or Logan or Liam

Like Bertram and Grayson.

Sebastian and Theodore are lovely too though more popular if that bothers you.

First thought to add to your girls list was Florence.

How about:
Anya
Stella
Willow
Saffron
Flora
Scarlett
Clover
Rosalie
Evangeline
Merryn
Rosalind
Hermione
Harriet
Jemima
Lydia
Martha

Florence I love! Gwendoline makes me think of Enid Blyton for some reason. Esme is nice. Elise is ok but not amazing. I've seen Isolde on quite a few baby name threads - how is it pronounced?

I tried!

Esme? Elise? Gwendoline? Estelle? Florence? Elizabeth? Simone? Isolde? Ishbel? Just throwing out names at random here btw!

Really not a fan of Susannah or Sylvie. Both sound quite dated to me, although someone is shouting in my ear that Sylvie is really nice. Not keen on virtues as names either. Violet is a family name and I really like it but DH has vetoed.

Bertram - love it
Cecil - no
Everard - erm it's okay but much prefer Edward/Edmund
Gilbert - no: sorry but I think it sounds like a joke name
Grayson - hate this, sorry
Joshua - it's okay
Laurence - love it
Miles - ok
Sebastian - like it
Stuart - hate this, sorry
Theodore - fine
Timothy - love it
Toby - fine

Love Cecily.

Clover?
Susannah?
Sylvie?
Verity?
Vivienne?
Violet?
Claudia?
Louisa?

Do you think Grayson is a manly name? I do, but DH thinks it's a bit flouncy.

Ultimately it's down to what you and your dh want/like but looking at your boy's list I think Joshua seems to be very popular atm. I like Grayson too and also Sebastian but you'll get different answers from others I bet.

The girls names are lovely too. Sometimes it's worth looking at the baby and seeing what name it 'fits', if that makes sense.
