Arthur - I like it but too popular
David - don't like it & cant see a baby called it either!
Gabriel - I like it.
Idris - really like it.
Joseph - a strong classic, I really like it!
Morgan - hate.
Nathaneal - always thought it was spelled Nathaniel but don't like it, prefer Nate on its own.
Rowan - a female name to me.
Samuel - hate.
Solomon - don't like.

Joseph, Nathanael and Samuel for a boy.

I adore Rowan for a girl, and also like Julia and Judy

Girls.

I love Delia. Mabel.Talia.Tina.. Josie Josephine.Susannah and Muriel. Probably bias there, though, as it (My nans name,She was lovely.)
I like Matilda but not Mathilda. I wouldn't know whether it was
Matt-ilda or Math-ilda. Same with Natalia. Why put a needless extra letter in there.
Jane is quite cool now.
Esme. All depends on the pronunciation. I like Ez-may, but can't abide Ez-mee.
Lilia is gorgeous. Don't like Lillian or Lilliana.
Isadora reminds me of wizards
Morgana. Sounds like someone who works in a morgue.
Jemima. Unless you're upper class. Its far too try hard.
Rita, Julia and Merryl are okay. However be prepared for the. Oh after Meryl Streep comments. Not particularly a bad thing, though.
The rest Judy/Judith are dreadful.

Boys.
I only like David Joseph and Gabriel out of your boys names. Gabriel is the nicest. Although its becoming very very popular. If that bothers you,

Good grief that's a long list...

Boys, I like Arthur, Joseph and Rowan. Of your girls names I only really like Mathilda, nickname Tilly.

When are you due?

Any siblings?

What kind of surname?
