@diddlediddle thanks so much! 💓 it's lovely to hear different opinions! Don't want any names to single out my children so will definitely think long and hard before choosing! Xx

Jonas and maxwell, Delilah and Leonie are beautiful classic names that I don't think are overly popular at all and won't pigeon-hole a child into a certain background or birth year.

I don't personally like Josiah, it's v v biblical.

Evie-May i don't think is in the same league at all as your other names. Evie-May is a common name in more than one sense. Evie is extremely common, and May is also really common as a middle of hyphenated name. Hyphenated names like Evie-May would make me think of a child from a particular kind of background - sorry to say but please don't pick it!

Thank you all! Still absolutely love Leonie!
I know the ones I've mentioned so far are really not too unusual at all, but we are still looking and ideas are fab x

Richard/Timothy 😂 (although I recently met a young Micheal Caine, so it’s not out of the realms of possibility I guess, just mean on the poor child!)..

OP Leonie is lovely, I’d avoid anything-May as there are a bazillion something-Mays ranging from 0-18, it was all the rage when I had my eldest nearly 17 years ago and the idea doesn’t seem to have lost any popularity. Also, it always makes me feel like the child has half a sentence for a name, as in ‘Gracie-May have to go to the toilet soon’ or Lilly-May push your child off the swings’ etc..

It goes very well with the surname @MWNA and he'd probably be the only one in his class.

The names OP has listed aren't particularly unusual.

Timothy is another suggestion.

For girls:
Amanda
Emma

I wouldn't consider either Evie-May or Delilah at all unusual.
