Boys:

My favourites are Martha and Noah

Martha - sweet, I like it
Annabel/Annie - I like Annabel a lot but don't like Annie as a short
Catherine - like it but not keen on Cat/Cathy which might happen
Clemency - not keen. Prefer Clementine
Daisy - not keen. It's quite sweet. Maybe a bit overused
Natasha/Sasha - love Natasha. Sasha is quite nice too but I wouldn't abbreviate.

Jonathan - like it. Good, solid name.
Alexander - love it. Also love the abbreviation Xander
Noah - love it.

From your list I would choose Natasha and Noah I think.

Of your girls I only like Annabel/Annie

Martha is awful, sorry.

Like both Alexander and Noah. I find Jonathan a bit...wet.

Martha or Catherine for a girl, and Jonathan for a boy.

Thanks. Any more thoughts?

My favourite girl's name is Annabel. Love both Alexander and Noah, but Noah's my favourite.

Martha and Clemency are awful (Clementine's great though), I like Sasha but not Natasha- it's a bit 80s, ditto Jonathan. Daisy and Catherine are ok but both are a bit bland.

Martha - Nice name
Annabel/Annie -Love this. You don't hear Annie much these days and I've always had a soft spot for it.
Catherine - classic, elegant name with lots of nn potential
Clemency - Not keen.
Daisy - Really dislike. I can't imagine a grown woman called Daisy.
Natasha/Sasha - Another lovely name.

Jonathan - I agree with pp that it's a bit wet, sorry. I love John but not Jonathan.
Alexander - A good solid name
Noah - Nice but I think it will date badly (if that bothers you)

I like Martha & Daisy.

All your boys names are nice though not keen on Jonny as a nickname and prefer Alex to Alexander.

Of those I know with those names their siblings include:
Poppy
Yasmin
Flora

Toby
Eli
Andrew

Love Martha.

Love Johnny. Hate Jonathan. How about John with Johnny nn.

To me Jonathan is like Charlottathon. Just unnecessary.

Or Alexander. Like that a lot.

If I was choosing from your list, I would pick Alexander and Daisy.

Martha, Daisy lovely. I like Catherine but prefer a nn for a little girl - Kitty.
Noah is nice.
