Oscar or Joshua
Zara or Imogen

From your lists I like Imogen, Zara and Elliott I prefer Lucian to Lucas.

CatSmize · 18/02/2019 16:24

They are all nice names so just go with the ones you and your DP like the most! I personally love Sienna the most. The only name I probably wouldn't go for is Rupert as it's just not to my taste.

tararabumdeay · 18/02/2019 16:24

They're all lovely apart from Charlie (boy) who are all naughty these days.

HalfBloodPrincess · 18/02/2019 16:26

Love Zara. Prefer Amelia to Emilia.

Oscar or Elliott from your boys list.

123Flopsy · 18/02/2019 16:38

Boys
Oscar - no
Charlie - yes
Elliott - maybe
Joshua - maybe

Rupert - no

Girls
Alexandra - yes
Emelia - No. Emilia is nice, Emelia isn't.
Esme - Esmee with an accent

Henry and Elliot or
Henry and Sienna

Sophronia · 18/02/2019 23:18

Alexandra and Rupert

DramaAlpaca · 18/02/2019 23:22

I'd drop Rupert as I think it's wet, and would go for Charles rather than Charlie, but the rest are all fine.

Of the girls' names I think Emilia is the normal spelling rather than Emelia.

My own favourites to go with Henry are Joshua & Zara or Imogen.

123Flopsy · 18/02/2019 23:34

Rupert or Elliott
Zara or Alexandra

Threenanger · 19/02/2019 01:44

Oscar: I love
Charlie: if short for Charles
Elliott: I like but reminds me of billy Elliot
Joshua: I like but reminds me of a certain ethnic demographic
Lucas: I like too... Luca as a nn is cute
Rupert: I also like

Girls
Alexandra: like but hate nn options
emelia: I like if spelt properly. My phone was insisting to autocorrect it.
Esme : no too trendy
Imogen: no too harsh
Scarlett : no a bit downmarket now
Sienna : no s bit downmarket now
Zara: no... in london there are too many Zara/zahra’s.

My niece is called Amelia and she suits her name down to a tee. Maybe decide on the name once you've seen the baby and spent time with him or her for a bit.

MercyBodle · 19/02/2019 07:22

Boy: Oscar or Rupert
Girl: Alexandra, Esme, Imogen, Scarlett, Zara (sorry, I like all of these - favourite is probably Imogen)

17caterpillars1mouse · 19/02/2019 16:39

Love Joshua and really like Lucas

From your girls list I like Alexandra as long as not shortened to Lexi. I like it shortened to Andie, Scarlett and Zara

I really dont like Sienna

flowersaremyfave · 19/02/2019 16:44

Lucas and Scarlett are my faves

MyFamilyAndOtherAnimals1 · 19/02/2019 16:48

I LOVE all of those names - they're all ones I've though about in the past.

For me, I love Alexandra the most - so many cute nn too!

Can I throw another boys name into the mix that I love? Caspar.

NuffSaidSam · 19/02/2019 20:11

I really like both your lists.

From the boys I like Oscar, Elliot and Joshua best. Not keen on Rupert.

From the girls I like Zara best. Alexandra and Sienna also nice. Not keen on
Esme or Emilia.
