I like Gabriel, Edward, Ezra and Xavier, Clementine, Paloma and Saffron. I also like Gwen but prefer it as a nickname for Gwendolyn / Gwendolen / Gwendoline.

Also, good luck for this month!

I love your list!

Faces are Ezra and Gwen short for Gwendolyn is above poster said. Can also have nn Dolly.

Also love Paloma and Saffron.

Suggestions - Constance, Orson, Sapphire, Blossom, Peter, Esmeralda

Love all except piper and sawyer. Good luck!

Isaac - very popular round here, it's becoming the new Joshua
Sawyer - too American for me
Gabriel - love it
Edward(Teddy) - not a fan of Thomas The Tank Victoriana names
Casper - love it
Sebastian - love it
Seth - love it
Ezra - love it
Spencer - unusual and rather good
Xavier - too X Men

Clementine - lovely but I'd feel too poncey using it
Piper - too American
Scarlett - too Amber/Paige
Megan - very very very dull indeed
Violet - nice but v trendy
Sydney - only like Cyd
Robin - nice but prefer with a y
Gwen - sturdy plain name
Paloma - gorgeous
Saffron - gorgeous

Gabriel and Piper are my favourite but they are all great names.

Fab lists!

My 2 favs:

Spencer

Clementine

From best to worst, with a line between names I'd use and names I wouldn't:

Why not Sidney or Robin for a boy?
Why not Sawyer for a girl?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Clementine and Sebastian.

Robyn was meant to be spelt with a y.

Boys: Isaac, Gabriel, Edward, Seth are nice. Hate Caspar.

Girls: Love Clementine, Scarlett and Violet. Piper is just vile - please don't do it.

Have talked to hubby and have cut each list in half.

GIRLS

have also started to really like Araminta (nn Minty)

Gabriel happens to be my all-time favourite boys' name, so obviously that would be my top pick. Also really like Isaac, although its current popularity puts me off a little.

My girls' choice would be Paloma - it's exotic and unusual, without being weird, and it's also pretty straightforward to pronounce. Like the dove/Picasso connections too. Second choice would probably be Clementine - it's very pretty, but possibly a bit stereotypically posh, and I'm not a fan of the nickname Clemmie (which just makes me think clammy/phlegmy). Not a fan of Sydney or Megan (although Sidonie is quite nice), and Saffron just reminds me of Ab Fab (plus I've taught a few quite spoilt/entitled Saffrons, so some bad associations there).
