Which ones would you pick? And, if you're feeling particularly generous, why?

Are there any others you could suggest based on my likes above?

Love Lyra. Mostly due to the books.

Love all the boys names.

Rose
Edith
Elsbeth

For girls, I would pick Viola or Lyra, both very pretty and quite unusual. Jemima and Penelope are a bit prim for me.

For boys, George or Arthur. Fab names. Other two are a bit 'wet'.

absolutely love jemima! george for boy

There is nothing wrong with any of them! You either like them or you don't but I can't see a criticism if any would be appropriate. I'm not a fan of Penelope or George, but other people would like them.

Pick which one you like.

I love Lyra and George and Benjamin.

The others are not for me. The only one I dislike is Viola.

Not a fan of Lyra or Jemima - but love Penelope (nn Penny) also like Voila. I think Penny is a sweet name and works at all ages, Viola or Violet is a classy name, pretty but robust.
Like all your boys names except Robin, but like Rob as a diminutive.
I like the suggestion Edith as well.

Favourite two from each list would be Viola, Penelope, George, Arthur.

Coralie
Juliet
Serena
Louisa

Henry
Felix
Reuben
Jonathan

Lyra. Feminine but strong. Robin...just like it

I'd pick Penelope because I love the nn Penny and I'd pick Benjamin because its the name I've got picked out if my bump turns out to be a boy xx

Jemima and George are my favourites and ones I would consider using myself.

I really dislike Robin for a boy but love Robyn for a girl.

Also suggesting Hermione and Fergus.

Love Robin. Like Lyra best from the girls'. Don't like Viola at all, sorry.

Viola and Robin are my favourites

Also like Robin, love Penny (though you might not want to shorten). George is classic. Very sweet for a little boy. I like Jemima too. Ben or Bejamin are nice.

Would suggest Elsie for a girl. Really love the above suggestion Henry. Gorgeous name too.

Love Penelope, Lyra, jemima, would use Violet nt Viola. Like George and Arthur, not keen on others.

They are all fine. Favourites are Viola - very classy - and either Arthur or Robin (both lovely but quite different in style IMO)

Love all your girls names, especially Penelope/Penny. Unfortunately it wouldn't work with our surname so it's off our list.
Of your boys list the only one I like is George. I'm not keen on Benjamin & Arthur and really dislike Robin for a boy. If I heard the name I would presume it was in reference to a girl (Robyn) which is much nicer!

Jemima - nice
Penelope - love
Viola - ok, pronunciation would become an issue
Lyra - love

Suggest - Cleo

George - nice
Arthur - ok
Benjamin - love
Robin - love

I'd go for Penelope because it's my mum's name. Not Lyra because I didn't like those books. Viola okay because Shakespeare but I don't actually like the sound of it much. Not Jemima because it reminds me of the bit of Jurassic Park where the rex bursts through the trees and eats a gallimimus, and I used to have nightmares about that scene.

George and Arthur seem to be far too popular these days so I'd not go for either of those. And also there's an Arthur in EastEnders at the moment and one of my criteria when choosing a name recently was "Can't be the name of an existing Ender". Robin sounds like a girl's name to me. Benjamin's good though, sounds nice, don't know how popular it is but I don't come across many of them.

I love Penelope because I think of Penelope Cruz. Viola is pretty too.

I like George and Benjamin.

Jemima ( puddle duck )
Penelope ( pitstop)
Viola ( stringed intstument)
Lyra (stars)
George(square)
Arthur(ancient)
Benjamin (bunny)
Robin (redbreast)
