Boys-
Dougie - I like this, though I'd call him Douglas, nn Dougie.
Elton - No.
Emrys - if you're Welsh?
Jesse - I really don't like this
Remus - Only if your whole life is Harry Potter themed, and even then, no.
Roman - No.
Ryder - No.

Sorry.

Girls-
Afra - YES, but prefer Aphra (after Aphra Behn)
Eleska - No. If you didn't make it up it sounds like you did.
Emmie - Yes, but give her a proper name too (Emmeline, Emily, Emma)
Farrah - No.
Ginnie - No.
Kobie - Really, no.
Lennox - I mean, it's fine if you want to name your daughter after a heavyweight boxing champion, I guess? No.
Lucah - Boys name.

Jesse or Roman

Farrah or Ginny

They aren't my style, tbh.

Dougie short for Douglas is OK, and I don't mind Roman.

I'm not mad on any of the girls' names but Farrah is the nicest, or Emmie if it was short for a longer name.

Jesse and lucah

I know of 2 Kobe's, but they are both boys. (Perhaps it is unisex, but sounds more boyish to me personally).

Good luck!

Roman and Farrah are lovely.
