Eleanor, purely because I love the nickname Nell.

Not really keen on any of the boys names but would choose Arthur at a push.

flumpybear · 01/06/2017 14:07

Helena as it's the least common
James because I really like it

Sophia - because I know a lovely one (although spelt Sofia).
Alexander - again because I know a lovely one.

Eleanor and Arthur

All safe name choices

I like Isabella the best for girls, followed by Helena (prefer Helen-uh pronunication)

and James for a boy

❤️ Helena is timeless and classy.
William (Will), or James.

Thanks everyone so far for your positive opinions, would it be silly to have two names in a sibset beginning with the same letter (E)?

Alice or Helena both lovely for a girl
I really like Eleanor too but risk of ending up being one of many Ella/Ellies

Boys names are all safe classic names, James is my favourite of the bunch

VinIsGroot · 01/06/2017 15:24

Eleanor but prefer the spelling Elinor with NN Elsie.

None of the boys names though as they are more than safe ! Boring and commonly used now!

The girls' names are all beautiful, I wouldn't know which to pick. Slightly prefer Sophie over Sophia.

I don't like Arthur much or Henry (both seem a bit stodgy), but the other boys names are all fine. I love James, but it is just so common now (or maybe not in the last few years?). I would probably pick Alexander or maybe James.

Love them all, especially Eleanor and James.
