Joseph is my favourite ever boys name and your girls names are lovely...a really great list. I particularly like Matilda with Tilda as a shortening but any of your names are good. As pp suggested, take the list and see what he/she looks like

From your boys names I like Joseph and Hugo. I would also suggest Thomas.

From your girls list I only like Penelope. Also suggest Melody or Melissa.

What's the surname like?

What is it about those names you like?
Do you like the diminutives?
Are you happy with names with more than one way of saying them?
Are you bothered by popularity?
