Clementine
Octavia
Ivy
Athena
Pearl
Blossom
Tabitha
Skye
India
Savannah

Chester
Balthazar
Roman
Thaddeus
Seth
Saxon
Jasper

What springs to mind immediately? Too chavvy? Too posh? Any suggestions these lists make you think I might like?? So many names!! How do people choose?!

Ivy
India
Pearl

Ok but I don't like the others

Don't really like any of your boys ones. Sorry.

Girls - a bit airy-fairy.
Boys - all a bit try-hard.

Clementine - oranges
Octavia - you have a lot of children!
Ivy - old lady and not in a good way
Athena - posters
Pearl - in theory I should like this but I don't
Blossom - ha ha
Tabitha - cats name
Skye - chav
India - either very chav or very posh
Savannah - trying to hard

Chester - awful, a bit chav
Balthazar - ha ha ha ha ha, NO!
Roman - getting more popula
Thaddeus - er?
Seth - OK
Saxon - awful
Jasper - wasps

Sorry

The only one I like is Ivy.

I love Clementine.

India is O.K.

Not sure about the boys names.

Agree with cece except I like Pearl

Not overly fond of many of those tbh but I ADORE Thaddeus. I didn't end up having boys and everybody laughed when I suggested it but I've loved it since I was about 12!

Don't really like any of your girls' names, sorry - but would pick Pearl over the others.

Octavia and Thaddeus are my favourites from your list

Clementine - lovely, (you'll need to beware 'Tina' though)
Octavia - nice as traditional but not used much. (Not sure how/whether it'll be shortened though)
Ivy - great
Athena - love it
Pearl - ok
Blossom - not keen, it's the CV factor for me - will she be overlooked? But if this doesn't bother you, why not.
Tabitha - great
Skye - conjures up too many stereotypes for me (CV factor again)
India - only if you have Asian connections
Savannah - alright

Chester - alright, not sure though
Balthazar - too hard to say (sorry - doesn't work for me)
Roman - like
Thaddeus - love this (best of all your names)
Seth - not sure
Saxon - not heard this one before, it's a grower, i think
Jasper - love this too

Clementine pretty

Octavia - pretty

Ivy - too old lady

Athena - not keen

Pearl - pretty

Blossom - not sure it travels well through life and not sure I would want to be called Blossom at my age.
Tabitha - nah
Skye- nah
India - nope
Savannah - could be considered chavvy

Chester - clown's name

Balthazar - a big name for a little boy. A lot to live up to
Roman - quite cool

Thaddeus - not sure

Seth - like it

Saxon - Sax for short - Sex as a nn! Open to bullying?

Jasper - Carrott?

Do the test....

'This is your Captain Balthazar Maynard speaking...'

'All rise for Judge Blossom Foster.....'

I love Athena and Tabitha, also Octavia (but only if you have an "8" reason for using). Skye, India and Savannah are OK. I don't like Pearl or Blossom as they make me think of old lady's bath salts, nor Ivy which to me is dull.

I love Jasper, and like Roman if you're Slav or Thaddeus if you're erudite. Not so keen on Saxon or Balthazar, and don't like Seth.

If either of our DDs were DSs then DP wanted Thaddeus. Don't really like your girls' names though
