Boys names
Amos- very Harry Potter
Darcy- Girls name
Errol- No
Huxley- nice puppy name
Lupin- No, Harry Potter
Ryder- middle name Cup? No
Tokyo- is this a Brooklyn Beckham moment?

Girls names
Aza- Typo for Ava?
Effie- ok
Etta- like
Hettie- ok but a little nicknameish
Hester- sounds quite masculine and made me think of Uncle Fester
Lux- No
Pixie- No, Nymph?
Texas- again, Brooklyn?🙈
TEgan- Ok
Tyne- just no
Zelda- Not my cup of tea!

You certainly have an eclectic taste in names

I’m still laughing at Tug 😂
Excellent typo OP
Also hoping Tokyo is a typo as it’s a terrible name... sorry

Tug has made me wake DP due to laughing out loud at 2.30am whilst up feeding DD. 😂

Boys names
Amos - this is fine
Darcy - I also think this is better suited to a girl
Errol - don't like it
Huxley - it's quite cool but a bit "trendy" at the moment so think it will date
Lupin - Harry Potter fan?
Ryder - very American celeb
Tokyo - awful style name. Will lead to a lifetime of funny looks and questions about their link to Japan (even with a link to Japan I don't think this is a good name - just like I wouldn't advise an English person to name their child Manchester)

Girls names
Aza - isn't this a boys name?
Effie - I really like this
Etta - and this! It's cute
Hettie - this too, also cute
Hester - I like this too!
Lux - this is awesome! Your girl's name list is much nicer than your boys names
Pixie - no, this is a nickname
Texas - again a bit Kardashian. Also the only person I've heard of called Texas was that girl who got murdered in Hollyoaks
Tug - NO NO NO!!! Tug?!!! Really?!! In my town that's slag for masturbation
Tyne - again, not a name
Zelda - Awesome!

Omg just saw that Tug was a typo! Thank God! (But OP I mean this in the nicest way possible - the fact that most people didn't notice it was a typo does suggest that some of your other names are a bit 'out there'. Tyne, Tokyo, and Lupin aren't much better than Tug!). Not keen on Teagan but it's definitely better than Tug! Haha
