Not many suit the surname so the ones I love sound silly. Can't really have anything ending in T... Should suit UK & Australia.

Opinions (and suggestions) please! (be kind :))

Girls:
Giselle
Morgan
Eloise
Darcy
Siobhan
Sinead
Imogen
Emma (not my choice)

Boys: (only 2 I like)
Ernest
Oliver
Aaron
Anton
Aidan
Aubrey

I love Imogen for a girl and Oliver for a boy - I have an Oliver so Im biased...still to this day I absolutely love his name and if you shorten it to Ollie thats also a great nn.

Like Eloise and Imogen the bestestest, Imogen would be my first choice. Darcy ok, not keen on the other girls though.

Boys, Oliver - although pretty well used in the UK at the moment I think, errrm, not really liking the others, sorry!

Love Eloise - wanted it for dd1 and dp wouldn't let me. Love Imogen and am quite fond of Darcy, though I know lots of people on here are not.

Love Ernest and Oliver but not fond of any of the 'A' names.

Eloise & Anton. Both lovely names, and names that I have considered. I knew both an Eloise and an Anton when I was young, and liked them both, so I am biased, I guess.

Eloise and Imogen are my favourites too. And they flow nicely into the surname. DH is being difficult.

Boys names are not inspiring me :(

If you really like those names then I think you should make a big point of this to your DH. What do men understand about girly names anyway LOL. You go girl!

I like Sinead best from your girls' list - elegant and unusual (unless possibly in Ireland). Imogen is quite nice, though I think getting more popular, and don't like Immy as a shortening.

Not keen on Oliver from boys' - seems to be ubiquitous currently. My favourite is Aaron which is name we are considering (at least I am considering, and dp is decided!) Would be interested to know how you would pronounce it as pronounciation confusion is what puts me off (we would say Air-on but Arran seems to be getting more used these days).
