cannot agree on any names with husband.
I like traditional names, especially Esme. Loved Charlotte but can’t have Charles and Charlotte.
Help!

If you like Esme ( yuck) but need longer more traditional maybe Imogen ?
Charlie, Zander and Imi .

Emily comes to mind but Esme works well. Anything really strong and classic works.

I actually think Charlotte is OK even with a charles but I get what you mean.

Beatrice maybe? But that's ABC!

Isobel?

I feel something shorter is better and you want something very English

Caroline?

Alice is great

Lucy, Laura and Emma. Classics that seem to have disappeared so you won’t get multiples of them in the classroom.
