Ok so I have been stressing for months now over names and since we don't even know what it is due to a very stubborn baby refusing to show it's bits on the day of the scan, I have to be prepared for either eventuality.
So far we're finding our boys list easier we have a definite shortlist:

Elliot (me and dp both love it but not much positive feedback)
Lewis/Louis
Harry
Thomas
And we've decided on James after my FIL for a middle name

Girls we're struggling with, we can't seem to agree on any

Emily (he wants this but I'm not so keen, it is pretty but too popular for me)
Amelie (my suggestion as a compromise on Emily but he doesn't like it)
Elizabeth
Jessica nn Jessie
Olivia (nice but very popular)
Jamie (I love it but he's not sure)
Arianne??? (I'm not sure why but it keeps popping into my head)

Any other suggestions for girls and preferences on both lists please

My favourites from your lists are Elliot and Elizabeth.

I love Elliot, it was my first choice for DS but dp vetoed it and whilst I do love the name we've picked (registered him today ) I stick realy like Elliot.

Emily and Arianne are my favourites from your girls list. I also really like Emmeline. Amelie is too trendy and of the moment for me.

I love Elliot

as for girls have you considered Emeline as an alternative to Emily

I like Elliot, it's a cool name. Please don't choose Harry or Thomas, they are so boring and overused.

Girls I like Jamie and Arianne.
