Elspeth is lovely and, as others have said, under used. Arthur is very popular - depends if you mind that. Laurence is a good name - depends if you mind Larry or Laurie I suppose.

Laurence, Arthur, Rafael (prefer Raphael). Don’t like the others.

Love Elspeth. One of my most favourite girls names ever.

I'm so surprised at how many people like Elspeth, I personally think it's awful but each to their own. I don't like any of the choices tbh, Sorry

Courtney is one of those Chardonnay/Paris names, circa the late nineties.

Elspeth and Meredith lovely timeless names, uncommon but accessible.

Laurence good name, could be for a girl as well.

Rafael and Pascal are try too hard names, Arthur is overused. If you want an old fashioned sounding boys name go for David ,Johnathon, James ,Henry.

I like Meredith and Lawrence. Not keen on the others and Elspeth is awful.

Girls:

Courtney - a bit chavvy
Sorrelle - sounds like a herb
Elspeth - nice, Elsie as a nickname
Meredith - old fashioned, not in a good way

Boys:
Lawrence - nice but a bit of a mouthful so will get shortened
Arthur - very popular
Rafael - are you Italian?
Pascal - are you French?
