Boys
Winston
Stanley
Albert
Felix

Girls
Vivienne
Harriet
Florence
Zara
Tess
Penelope

Thank you

Vivienne, Zara and Tess are are all gorgeous.

Not as crazy about your boys names but I'll go for Felix.

I like Florence, Zara and Tess.

I'm not keen on your boys names either, and I would go for Felix.

I love Felix and quite like Stanley. Florence is nice but quite popular. I do like Harriet

I really like Felix, don't like the other boys names at all. Zara is my favourite from your girls list, followed by Tess and Florence, not keen on the others.

I like Vivienne & Zara for a girl. From your boys' names I like Felix

Winston for a boy.
Can't decide out of Vivienne Zara Or Florence for a girl.
Can't stand Tess Penelope or Harriet. But it's not my baby

I love Felix - my DS's name! Of the girl's names i like Harriet (my sis's name), Florence and Penelope.

I like all your girls' names. Out of the boys, Albert and Felix are both nice.

I like Albert, Vivienne (prefer Vivien), Harriet and Zara.

Harriet

Don't like any of the others.

Great list, I love them all

Albert or Felix

Penelope or Harriet

I like all your girls names.

Felix is the best of the bunch of the boys names.

I like Stanley, Harriet and Penelope from your list.

I like Tess and Stanley best.

I like Stanley and Albert (particularly if he then becomes a Bertie). I don't like Winston at all and am a bit meh about Felix. I found it so so hard to pick boy names though so I am a tough audience.

I like all the girl names, particularly Harriet.

Bloody hell woody, are you me? I'm not pregnant or planning to be anytime soon, but these are all top of my list.
Sorry, not helpful.

Stanley and Penelope

I like :

Stanley
Vivienne
Harriet
Tess

Would you consider:

Marianne

Thank you for all your opinions and suggestions.

I think we are finding it hard as we are almost the last of our friends to have children (most have two or three) and we don't want to use the same names.

Really like Felix for a boy.
Not too keen on Florence but your other girl's names are lovely. My favourites are Vivienne and Penelope.

Boys
Winston - don't like it at all but maybe just because the one I know is very challenging.
Stanley - don't like it
Albert - don't like it. But again, only known one and he was difficult so might just be the personal association. Also a bit old mannish
Felix - love it

Girls
Vivienne - really like it
Harriet - quite like it
Florence - quite like it
Zara - love it
Tess - not keen. Quite like Tessa though
Penelope - not keen

Felix and Zara by a mile, for me.

Don't like any of the boys' names, sorry.

Love Vivienne and Harriet and like Florence and Tess. Not fond of Zara.

Felix is great.

Tess is gorgeous.

Congratulations! And a really lovely shortlist!

In order of preference:
Boys
Stanley - wonderful. Really love this and very positive associations for me.
Winston and Felix - joint second. Both also lovely.
Albert - like it, just not as much as the others. Like the old-fashioned vibe in all of these, maybe Albert least because of royalty association, but that's just me.

Girls
Tess - one of my all time favourites. Classic, feisty.
Vivienne - really beautiful. Pretty but also strong.
Penelope - great, though quite a mouthful. Will inevitably be shortened, but I really like the short options of Penny and Nell so that doesn't count against it for me.
Florence - as for Vivienne, strong and beautiful. Of the two I'd go for Vivienne though as there are quite a few Florences around these days.
Zara - great sounding name, think the royalty connection puts me off again.
Harriet - least favourite. Always strikes me as a bit drab, sorry.
