Torin - Oo, I've never heard of this before, but I quite like it.
Jonah - Fine.
James - Not my style, but I really like the idea of a baby James.
Peter - Love.
Alfred - It's okay. Prefer Arthur, but also love nn Alfie.
(1) Torin, James, Peter, Arthur.
(2) Alfred.
(3) Jonah.

Clara - I like Clar-uh, but Clair-uh just reminds me of 'clerical'.
Cosima - Not sure. Could work it you pn it with an 's', but if it's a 'z' in your accent, I'd say no.
Perdita - Hm, conflicted. I suppose it's nice, but I can't get past the Dalmatian.
Susannah - Lovely. I have it on my list as Susanna.
Joan or Joanie - Not sure if it's not a bit old, but it's nice. I'd call her Joan and use Joanie as a nn, as it looks unfinished. Why not Joanne?
(1) Susannah.
(2) Clara, Perdita, Joanne.
(3) Cosima.
(4) Joan.

Clara is nice. Rest of the girl's names I don't like.

Boys names are all nice except for Jonah which is a bit pompus but a great name for a whale.

Torin - like
Jonah - OK but be prepared for whale comments
James - like
Peter - like
Alfred - rather "old man", how about Frederick/Freddie?

Clara - like
Cosima - too pretentious
Perdita - OK but not a good meaning
Susannah - OK
Joan or Joanie - Joan is nice, Joanie a bit silly, how about Josephine/Josie?
