Lovely names, I'm stuck in the same hole trying to find a boys name.

A couple of recent additions to friends are Wilfred (wilfy) and Albert (Bertie) which would fit your theme.

I love Ned as a NN for Edward

tryingtocatchthewind Thanks for the support, I really love both those suggestions and Ned is very cute as well. I know of a small Edward that goes as Ted which always makes me smile, as it reminds me of Teddy Bears. x

I think most would say that some of these spellings, especially Lilibeth, are rather royalist: Lilibet very, very much tied to Queen Elizabeth II. Perhaps that is what you want; absolutely no criticism implied.
Also, Giorgiana is most usually spelled that way. No need for the extra 'n'.

But if you like those kinds of names, for boys, then Frederick, George, Charles, James, Hugo, Augustus, Andrew, William, Albert, Arthur might be worth considering...

I love both lists definitely would choose them myself. On that note I have a William and on my boys list are Arthur, Henry, Hugo.

I am totally biased, but would say you don't need to look any further than Edward! Our DS (2yo) has nn Teddy, but is also known as Bear. He quite identifies with bears now - very excited if there is a bear (real or toy) on TV, in books, on clothes, etc. He loves Pooh Bear!

Also love Theodore, but couldn't use it. Other names on our short list were Andrew, Owen, Stephen and Murray. Of your girl's names, my favourite is Emmeline.

I'm having a girl but we liked several boys names:

Walter
Orson
Ted
Albert (albie for nn)
Francis
