I need some names with a similar 'feel' to...

[20wkbaby]

As the title suggests I am 20 weeks pregnant with a baby of unknown sex. I prefer more unusual names, DH could probably be persuaded if he liked the name enough!

No old lady/ old man names please and not too whacky, just would rather not go down the Emily/ James route.

Boys:

Jonah
Samuel
Saul
Thomas - yes I know is very popular but we don't know any and we like Tom as well as Thomas.
Harry - as Thomas!

(DH not keen on biblical names but I love them! I wanted Jacob for DD and he didn't like it but now he sees it as more mainstream and for this reason I have gone off it! Don't want names like Quentin or Hugo although not because I don't like them, just don't think of them as names for my baby iyswim)

Girls:

Lily
Freya
Phoebe
Romilly
Vita

(Like all these names but none of them is quite 'it'. DH doesn't like Freya but I love the Scandinavian feel. We both like nature names. Would not want anything too commonly used as I have lots of friends with babies and the chances are someone has chosen it already.)

Thank you

Lots of lovely suggestions - love Genevieve. THe good news is we had a discussion about names yesterday (DH bit reluctant) and he seems to have changed his mind about some he wasn't keen on, he even rejected some because they weren't very 'exotic'.

What does everyone think of Delphi?

Or Cassia?

Both the short list (nothing goes on the short list unless both of us would consider it).

Prefer Delphine to just Delphi. How about Dido as in Dido & Aneas? Or Alethia (pron Aleethia) which is Greek for truth?

How about Calliope nn Calli? Greek for beautiful voiced & a muse of poetry. Or Calla as in Lily, have heard this bandied around naming boards.

I quite like Delphi, dislike Delphine as it makes me think of a French girl who described it as 'like the Dolphin'.

Cassia is nice, makes me think of Casio (showing my age) prefer Cassie.

Love Dido and Calliope. Not sure DH will do though. He rejected Delphine because it 'sounds French'. He seems to think of it as a word association game in whjch he has to respond with his initial reaction which in some ways is good, but 'sounds French' and 'sounds Greek' are just reactions and not a real problem as far as I am concerned.

He totally rejected Vita so I guess that is out.

It is hard to get him to say exactly what his objections are sometimes. Never mind, he seems to be more prepared this time round to be a bit more open minded.

Eli
Elias
Aaron
Jude
Jed
Xavier
Elliot
Orin
Tobias
Ellis

Girls:
Tess
Maya
Maeve
Rowen
Lydia
Mathilda (Tilly)
Flora
Beatrice
Thea
Elena
Rebekah
Hannah
Susannah
Lara

Apologies if any of these already suggested - no time to read all the responses!

I think your names are great - Romilly is fab! What about:

Greta
Hazel
Isla

I love Ingrid, really wanted it, but had a boy! Boys are trickier, I had big trouble...in the end called him Rafe and love it. Harry and Thomas are lovely, but hows about:

Joseph
Milo
Jude
Lachlan

I love Vita by the way - never heard it before - sounds very strong and beautiful.
