Hello , we are expecting our first baby in May , and we are so indecisive over names , our surname is Green which has excluded the one name we both liked best - Gwendolyn as Gwen Green looks ridiculous 🥲
Our top contenders otherwise for a girl are :

Anastasia June ( Annie )
Cordelia Jane
Edlyn Nicole ( Edie)
Francesca Ann (Frankie)

Boys -

Jude James
Oliver ( But does this just sound like olive green?)
Noah Jude
Arlo James

Which ones from this list would you say are best and any suggestions ?

I absolutely love Annie Green, and Oliver Green - my head didn’t go to Olive Green until you said it. Noah is fab too though! Congratulations!

I like Francesca too. And Noah.

The first name that came into my mind when I read your surname was Agatha!

Francesca is lovely

Annie Green is a bit too much like Anne of Green Gables but that might just be me!

Francesca and Noah are my favourites but they're all nice.
