Marina and Lucy are my faves from your girls list (also think Marina Lucy is a lovely first-middle name combo)

Daniel and Edward from your boys.

Ruby. I don't like it but I can understand the hype.
Rosalind. Very harsh. I think she'll always got Is it Rosa-lind. Or Roz-lind.
Laura. Its okay. I neither hate nor rate it.
Lucy. Can't fault this at all.
Faline. It looks pretty and quite Disneyish but Again. What's the pronunciation. Fay-leen Far-leen Fal-een.
Marie. Nice name.

Marina. Awful.

Joseph Good strong name.
Peter. Love this
Edward.Awful

Love Lucy and Daniel
Both classic names which are not overused
Perfect

Faline sounds like failing. It's awful

Some lovely names. My favourites are Rosalind and Marina, and Peter and Solomon. Least favourites are Jake and Faline.

Ruby - 4 - I see this as slightly dated now, it’s on downward curve after a spike in popularity
Rosalind - 10 - love it
Laura - 6 - it’s nice but a bit boring to me as it was very popular in the 90’s
Lucy - 5 - nice enough, I find it slightly wet
Faline - 1 - dislike Faline. I only think of the deer from Bambi
Marie - 7 - quite unusual nowadays. I’d find a baby Marie very refreshing
Marina - 10 - beautiful, it fits in more with current names than Marie

Joseph - 7 - I love Joseph, but less keen on Joe, which is the most obvious nickname
Peter - 10 - love Peter, strong and classic with lots of children’s literary references (Peter Rabbit, Narnia, Peter Pan)
Edward - 3 - dislike Edward. It’s a popular classic, but I find it very clunky sounding.
Solomon - 8 - like it, unusual without being bizarre
Daniel - 6 - nice, but very popular
Jake - 2 - dislike Jake, it feels insubstantial to me. Like Ruby it is coming down in popularity
Max - 6 - very popular now, but nice enough
