Tom, Richard with Richie as a potential nickname, Emma. I can't think of another girl name I like more than Emma, I like Anna but Emma just a bit more.

I am however worried that if it's a girl Emma is too predictable and common place, I wouldn't want her to think "why did my mum name me this". I also like Laura but all the Laura's I know are my age so I'm thinking it's a bit of a mumsy name for a girl born today.

Emma is beautiful, I have an Emma.

I think Laura is lovely but somewhat agree about the mumsy factor.

Emma and Anna both safe, acceptable names that are unbound to any class or era. Though admittedly Anna feels a bit more upmarket, to me anyway, don't know why.

Tom is nice.

Richard is cool. But might be better as a middle name for a baby born 2024.

They're all nice names. Not trendy, not silly. Laura or Emma would be fine.

Lovely classic names.
