Henry and Olivia.
Gregory is Ok too.

Dislike Clemence and Cressida. They would be Clem and Cress at school.

Henry, followed by Francis.
I only like Olivia from the girls names.

I don't like Gregory, I don't like Greg either.

Like others Olivia is lovely but past saturation point

Francis is on my list but the child would be known as Frankie

Similarly with Leonard he'd be Lennie or Leo, but I probably wouldn't use it at all.

Cressida is a yes, but I don't like Rosalba or Clemence

So Cressida and Francis

Leonard at a push but that is the name of my next dog when DH agrees to us getting another dog. Only name I would definitely not pick is Gregory. I've personally known two, one being my DD's ex boyfriend who was a bit of a wet blanket & the other was a boy she went to school with, who is now serving time for burglary

I am so deathly bored of Olivia.

Can't stand Gregory and Francis always seems a bit wet.

Francis and Clemence (but also prefer Clemency)

Henry is my favourite but really like Gregory and Francis too
I don't like any of your girl options but someone up thread suggested Frances for a girl and I think that's a lovely suggestion.

If you like francis, what about Francesca for a girl, or Frances

I don't like the girls' names

I've not heard of Clemence as a name, only Clemency, Clementine and Clement (for a boy). downside is Clem/Clemmie as diminutives which to me are just not very nice.

I like Cressida and Gregory best. If you like Francis for a boy do you also like Frances for a girl?
