I'm interested what you'd chose with these restrictions.

This is very premature, I'm only very early days but I am interested in what you'd all chose to name a baby with the following restrictions. (Due to a difficult surname)

No C names
No M names
Preferably longer names

I like older names (think Ivy, Rose, Alice) DP doesn't (he likes Jessica)

We have 3 boys with very boring traditional names so it has to fit, nothing too 'out there'

So I need a boys and girls name please.

Matilda (can be Tilly) or Frederick (Freddie)

shakespeare invented the name jessica so it's pretty old but then i'd guess ivy must be quite old too, perhaps not as old tho

Is Ivy an older name than Jessica?

For boys, I'd stuck with same genre, so, if not already used:
Henry
William
Thomas
Alexander
James

(Alternatively surprise people by pulling out the hidden favourite you haven't admitted to liking before now)

For girls, maybe find one that isn't tied to any one decade:
Anna
Elizabeth
Emily
Eleanor

Or a similar sound to Jessica but a different vibe:
Ava
Felicity/Felicia
Tabitha
Francesca
