I'd appreciate any thoughts the names below. Wondering if there's any reason to avoid these names we haven't considered! Would also love to hear suggestions of similar names. Surname is 2 syllable and ends in an 'ull' sound.

Boys
Jack
Arthur
Frederick
Fergus
Harry
William
Sidney
Sam
Vincent

Girls
Lois
Robyn
Rose
Nina
Florence
Connie
Josephine

Thank you!

I like most of your names but a bit less keen on Sidney, Arthur and Fergus (unless you're Scottish or Irish then it's ok but still not for me). Arthur is a name I actually like but it's too trendy atm.

Rose is a very common middle name makes a beautiful first name but I wonder if a lot of other people will be thinking along the same lines and go with Rose for fn.

Of your list my favourites are Sam, Rose and Josephine.

Joseph?

I really like William and Sam from your boys list best (although I'd put Samuel on the BC) but Frederick is also nice.

From your girls list, I love Rose and Nina best, but Josephine is nice too.

All the above are classic names to me, that suit all ages and shouldn't date.

Lovely choice of names.

Sam I would probably have as a nn of Samuel or Samson.

My favourites are Fergus and Josephine.
