Only thinking about TTC so not pregnant so I'm not attached to any of the names on my favourite list so be as judgemental as you wish!
These are currently my favourite names as I've been spending a few weeks flicking through websites.

Boys:
Clay
Eden (my current favourite)
Emrys
Eric
Iver
Magnus
Remus

Girls:
Frances
Hazel
Jovie
Mika
Quinn

I know they're not to everyone's taste and I do like unusual but not too strange (so point out if they are in fact too strange!)

The list will have probably changed when the actual time comes but just looking sharing my ideas!

Love Emrys. Magnus is cool too.
Hazel is lovely.
Prefer Francesca to Frances, also gives more choice of nn.
I would assume Eden was a girl.

Boys:
Clay - don’t mind it, but it’s very American.
Eden - only ever heard it for girls, not keen on it as a boy’s name.
Emrys - gorgeous name.
Eric - I like it!
Iver - I prefer the Ivor spelling. Or Ivo!
Magnus - I really like it, very Scandi.
Remus - I like it.

Girls:
Frances - cute.
Hazel - lovely.
Jovie - makes me think of Bon, or Zooey Deschanel in Elf.
Mika - not keen.
Quinn - my friend has a male greyhound named Quinn.

The only one I like is Magnus.

OutPinked · 16/01/2019 12:22

Hazel is nice. Quinn is a boys name but I quite like it. The others not so much.

Astronica · 16/01/2019 13:13

I love Magnus and Frances, and for 2nd choices, I like Remus and Quinn. Not so keen on any of the others.

I like Frances and Hazel. Of your boys names Clay is the best but not one I'd choose, although I would as a middle name.

moredoll · 17/01/2019 21:44

Clay. No
Eden (my current favourite). Yes, quite cool for a boy
Emrys. I think I could like it. Eventually.
Eric. No
Iver. Ivor is good
Magnus. My favourite of your boys' names
Remus. Mmm. Might be great with a long Italian surname.

Frances. Love it. Love Frankie as a nn too.
Hazel. Yes, lovely
Jovie. Nope
Mika. Maybe
Quinn. I like it, I don't love it.

I only like Eden.

Norfolkbumpkins · 17/01/2019 22:02

Good list op. Eden to me is feminine though. Ivor and Jovie for me - love the nod to Elf!

Idratherhaveacupoftea · 17/01/2019 22:14

I know a lovely boy Eden.
