Opinions on girl names and inspiration for boy names needed please

[Nameschangedtoprotectidentity]

girls list so far:

Thea
Romilly
Clara
Florence

Boys:

Edward

Any comments/inspiration greatly appreciated.

We already have a Phoebe.

No names starting with B due to initial issues

I love both Clara and Edward! I think Thea and Phoebe may be a little bit similar in sound but I do like the name Thea.

Other suggestions:
Girls:
Amelia
Violet
Grace
Rosa
Iona
Coralie
Rosalie
Thalia

Boys:
William
James
Frederick
Henry
Samuel
Jacob
Edwin
Edmund

Florence and Edward. Don't like Romilly.

I have a Phoebe and think Thea goes perfectly!

I like Freddie and I like Edmund actually.

Also

Jude
Rafferty
Arthur
Xander or Alexander
Jago
Ianto

Hmm. Yes, am undecided on the Phoebe/Thea combination.

None of the boys names grabbing me particularly. I like James but dh doesn't (and it's very 'safe')

Some more boys names:
Noah
Milo
Clement
Jasper
Finn
Isaac
Leo
Rupert
Gabriel
Felix
Sebastian
Lucas
Dominic
Alfred
Rowan
Tristan

I have an Edward, and also Jasper and Dominic.

DD is Lara

These names are all fine. The two main things to think of with names are

1. That your baby will be a baby for a year and a cute little person for about another six. They will be an adult for about 70 years, so give them a grown up name!

I personally hate nick names such as Freddie, being given as a first name. Call
him Frederick, and he can be Freddie for short. What will he feel when he is a Nobel prize winner, and his name is Freddie?

And 2. They won't want to have the same name as everybody else. I was once in a class with six girls all sharing variations of the same name. I was one of them.

So try to be a bit more imaginative than James or Edward, and avoid celebrity names like the plague. My aunt called my cousin Dean after Dean Martin, thinking it was so unusual......

I love Thea and Clara. Simple, pretty, classy names.
Romilly is a bit frilly for my tastes.
Florence is lovely but very popular in my neck of the woods - don't know if that puts you off?

I'm not a big fan of Edward I'm afraid. I just don't like the nicknames - Ed/Eddy, Ted/Teddy etc. If you like quite classic, traditional names I'd suggest:

Sebastian
Michael
Laurence/Laurie
Arthur
William
Joseph
Daniel
Gabriel
Oliver
Henry

Phoebe is lovely, btw

Clara or Florence for a girl, and Edward is a very good classic name for a boy.

Going off romilly now- just as i'd talked dh into it!

Some good boys names above. I like Sebastian, laurence and Gabriel and love Rowan but unfortunately it doesn't work with our surname at all!

Juliet or Max

Felicity, Verity

I like Max but prefer 2+ syllables

I like Clara and Thea, but take your point about Phoebe/Thea. Also like Meredith, Meryl, Corinna and Tamsin.

Another vote for Laurence, also
Marcus
Adam
Arlo

Romilly is lovely
