Alexander - Nora

I would cross off Brian (middle aged man name), and Nora (“bloody Nora!”).

Where do you live, what accent? Juliet and Violet are both lovely names, but imo aren’t nice in an accent that drops the T at the end.

Olivia has been extremely popular for years, does that bother you at all?

Alexander -OK
James - too many
George - fine
Brian - no
Michael - not sure, various shortening.

Nora - don't like

Clara - preference
