Theo and Edward. Alice and Thea.

Keep: Anna and Olivia

I chose Anna over Thea bc nns Annie and Anya easily present themselves... but I do really like Thea and its luminous meaning. Meanwhile, Olivia made the top two because it's just so vivacious!

Lose: Alice and... Anya because you can use that as a nickname for Anna

Hmm, not keen on the boy names, unfortunately. I guess keep Edward? Theo is cute, but I'd imagine he's going to encounter, "Short for Theodore?" a lot. Ditch Arthur and Reuben (I don't like Reuben sandwiches lol)
