Julia and William

or 2. Zoe and Luke

Finn is nothing-y and way overused, Violet also a bit overused. William has been super popular of course but it’s a classic. Zoe is cute but as an adult I’d rather be called Julia.

Not Violet and William. Too Richmal Crompton.

I like Luke a lot and Finn is nice too. Im afraid I don't like any of the girls' names.

Thanks everyone. We have a long last name. 10 letters and Gaelic! They all sound pretty good with it so annoyingly doesn't narrow it down for us!

Great to get some opinions - and overall pretty positive too 😊

It depends on your last name for me :)

Julia is my favorite of the girls and was on my list for my oldest DS (he’s 14 and is a Sam)

For boys I THINK Finn, but if you have a short last name then William. (My William is almost 7 and I love his name)

They’re all nice though! Really lovely shortlist.
