Struggling with your boys’ list... I actually really like Ansel but it sounds dangerously close to an offensive word that leaves it ripe for teasing unfortunately.

Your girls’ list on the other hand I really like. Would be a choice between Sylvie and Anya for me.

Sylvie - lovely but she will forever be spelling it!
Ivan

MySocalledLoaf · 02/04/2021 22:46

Elian
I almost like Audra, but it just seems such a missed opportunity to use Audrey.

Sylvie and Anya are nice. Your boys’ list I find harder as not my taste. Elian maybe.

Avery ✔️
Lucan it kind feel like it wants to be something else. Lucas is fine but I love Lucien. ✔️
Elian 〰️
Ivan as much as I love Vikings it's a ✖️
Irvin bleurgh ✖️
Ansel again it's like it's stuck between names, Hansel and something else ✖️

Girls-
Sylvie old lady ✖️
Audra it's quite cute actually ✔️
Sybil no, it's awful ,✖️
Della as a NN it's ok bit I'd prob go with something longer like Delilah or Delphine. I love Delphine 〰️
Anya I'm not keen on it, it feels a bit unfinished ✖️

So Avery and Lucien or Audra and Delphine NN Della

Sylvie and Lucan

I'm sorry, your boys' list isn't to my taste at all.

I like Sybil and Sylvie from the girls' list.
