I think Jane is a bit dull for a first name but is a great middle name.

Richard is one of my favourite boys' names. To me it's a classic and I'm surprised it is not more popular.

I don't like any of the rest.

Acacia - not my cup of tea at all. It just isn't a very nice sound imo.
Jane - nice, uncommon, possibly not that exciting, but a very nice name.
Cassie - it's ok, but I LOVE Cassia, as suggested^^. I'd use Cassia and shorten to Cassie. Cassandra is a bit OTT for my taste.

Owen - nice enough.

Jonah - nice.
Silas - nice.
Richard - nice.

I think Cassia (if you would use Cassia) and Jonah would be my favourites. Richard and Jane are both nice too and you don't hear either of them very often anymore.

Jane.
Owen or Richard.

Jane - so underused today - lovely, strong, serene
Richard - good strong name. Need to ensure if you go down the nickname route you use Rich or Rick.

1. Acacia - not that keen (sounds made up -even though it's a plant)
2. Jane - Lovely traditional classic, and would be very unusual today
3. Cassie - pretty but I like best as a nn for Cassia or maybe Cassandra

1.Owen - Very nice, not overused classic

1. Jonah - Okay, quite American/Biblical
2. Silas - Okay but a bit unusual, not sure about the harsh sound.
3. Richard - Nice and traditional - like Jane it would be unusual today.

Cassie and Owen

Acacia - no. Pronunciation issues, a lifetime of ‘what, like the plant?’ and ‘what, like from bananaman?’....
Jane - fine
Cassie - like this, either on its own or as a shortening for Cassia as suggested by PP - less keen on Cassandra or Cassiopeia

Owen - fine
Jonah - aside from the whale associations (if this bothers you, it may not...) also fine
Silas - dislike - I think it’s the sibilance, sounds kind of slimy and hissy.
Richard - fine

My favs are Cassie and Jonah

Acacia - No
Jane - love
Cassie - ok

Owen - ok
Jonah - not keen
Silas - not keen
Richard - like a lot

Dislike Acacia, Cassie is nice as a shortening for Cassia, I think Jane is a bit boring. Like Silas and Jonah, Owen is boring and I don't think Richard is due a comeback yet.

What about cassia, it’s a bit between acacia and Cassie.
I’m not a fan of the others sorry

Cassie and Owen are the only ones I like

Acacia is bananaman in my mind. It also looks ugly and sounds awful.
Jane is a classic but is just so boring to mind.

Richard is just so dated.
Silas sounds sinister to me.
Jonah a bit wet

Acacia- sorry its hideous
Jane- love it, underused classic
Cassie- really like it

Owen- it's OK, not bad, not great
Jonah- character from Veep as well as obviously the whale, don't mind it
Silas- reminds me of silage for some reason, it's a no from me
Richard- could be due a comeback

I like Richard
Not keen on your other options, I think we have different tastes

Quite like Cassie and Silas

Acacia - not sure. It's a spiky plant! Plus I have a horrible feeling some people don't have heard of it and won't know how to say it
Jane - but popular certainly. But still boring in my view.
Cassie - I like it but prefer Cassia with Cassie as a nn

Owen - it's ok. I prefer Ewan. The Owens I know are all a bit annoying
Jonah - I like this. I prefer Jonas
Silas - I love this
Richard - I'm not keen. It feels middle aged

Acacia - I don't think this works at all
Jane - like
Cassie - lovely

Owen - OK
Jonah - bit miserable
Silas - OK-ish
Richard - like

I really like Richard. It was very popular in the late 70s early 80s so I know a few adult ones (including my brother)

It would have been on my list and you just don't meet baby Richards anymore.

Acacia - no
Jane -plain Jane, I prefer Jayne
Cassie - I like it. Prefer it to Cassandra.

Owen - lots of them about.
Jonah - ok I suppose
Silas - reminds me of silage
Richard - no

Its simplicity

(Auto-miscorrect on ...)

Acacia - too Stepford Wives
Jane - no, although it's simplicity isn't without charm
Cassie - I'm not keen

Of the three I prefer Acacia.

Owen - no
Jonah - no way
Silas - no
(Jonah and Silas just have gloomy associations)
Richard - a good name and better than the rest, but I feel a bit dated and grown-up.

I like all your girls' names. Jane is my favourite. I would use Cassie as a nickname for Acacia, but it is okay on its own too.

I only like Richard out of your boys' names. I prefer Jonas over Jonah.

I love Jane and Owen.

Jonah is my favourite
Cassie short for Cassiopeia

Jane would be nice depending on MN. I don’t know many of them, but it’s a solid, nice name

Acacia is very unusual but not a particularly nice plant to be named after
Cassie is nice as a nn but perhaps with the option of Cassandra as the full name?
Jane is pretty but fairly basic.

Owen is fine
Jonah is nice
Silas is ok
Richard is fine -traditional

Cassie/Cassandra & Jonah are the nicest in your list I think 👍

Quite like Cassie but would use Casandra as the given name.
Love Silas. Jonah is ok and maybe Richard is due a comeback...
