When are you due?

Any siblings?

What kind of surname?

Good grief that's a long list...

Boys, I like Arthur, Joseph and Rowan. Of your girls names I only really like Mathilda, nickname Tilly.

Due in September. I have a daughter called Louisa. Surname is very typical English.

I really like Judy!

Boy I love Idris, girls Isadora and Morgana

Girls.

I love Delia. Mabel.Talia.Tina.. Josie Josephine.Susannah and Muriel. Probably bias there, though, as it (My nans name,She was lovely.)
I like Matilda but not Mathilda. I wouldn't know whether it was
Matt-ilda or Math-ilda. Same with Natalia. Why put a needless extra letter in there.
Jane is quite cool now.
Esme. All depends on the pronunciation. I like Ez-may, but can't abide Ez-mee.
Lilia is gorgeous. Don't like Lillian or Lilliana.
Isadora reminds me of wizards
Morgana. Sounds like someone who works in a morgue.
Jemima. Unless you're upper class. Its far too try hard.
Rita, Julia and Merryl are okay. However be prepared for the. Oh after Meryl Streep comments. Not particularly a bad thing, though.
The rest Judy/Judith are dreadful.

Boys.
I only like David Joseph and Gabriel out of your boys names. Gabriel is the nicest. Although its becoming very very popular. If that bothers you,

Joseph, Nathanael and Samuel for a boy.

Girls names - Agnes (beautiful!), Esme or Talia
Boys - Gabriel, Gabriel or Gabriel! 🙂

My top 3 for each sex from your lists would be;

Joseph
Solomon (Sol)
Rowan

Natalia
Serena
Talia

You do have a few names listed that would be “never in a month of Sunday’s” names for me, but the 6 above are all lovely. I have a Louisa & wanted to use Natalia but exH wouldn’t consider it.

Similar names you might like;

Roman
Seb(astian)

Seren
Ivy

Boys:
Arthur - Nice
David - Also nice, very neutral and unbullyable I think
Gabriel - I love this name myself
Idris - Hard to shorten nicely
Joseph - Nice, a bit boring?
Morgan - May be seen more often as a girl's name now?
Nathanael - like it
Rowan - Like it, also quite unisex now. Goes well with sister's name somehow
Samuel - Nice, but a bit overdone
Solomon - I like it. Possibly bullyable

Girls:
Adelaide / Ada / Ida / Ayda / Aida - Ada's v popular at the moment. Prefer Ida/Aida
Agnes - like it
Celine / Selena - both nice
Delia - nicely different choice, shortens to Dee which is quite nice
Emmeline - OK
Esme - I have one! So a bit biased - it's good as in it's not everywhere but it's also not so rare as to be weird
Ethel - bit too much old lady
Isadora - Nice
Jane - Due a revival
Jemima - bit twee
Joanna - also due a revival perhaps!
Josephine - Nice
Judith - Nice
Judy - Would rather use Judith on birth cert
Julia - Like it, goes with
Lilia/ Lilian /Liliana - Like Lilian most of those
Lina - Not sure I like it
Mabel - A bit too old lady agaibn
Mathilda - Nice
Meredith - Might be bullyable
Merryl - Quite nice
Mina - Nice
Morgan - Like it slightly more for girls than boys for some reason
Morgana - Too witchy?
Muriel - Too old lady
Nathalia - Nice
Noelle - Also nice
Rita - Quite like this
Rowan - if you don't mind the unisexness
Sabina/Sabine - nice
Sabrina - nice, if witchy ;)
Selma - Quite nice
Serena - love this name, husband wouldn't let me have it!
Susannah - Due a revival?
Talia - Very nice
Tina - Not sure I'd name just with Tina, only as shortening of Christina

Unless you want to save money on sew-in name tapes in a few years' time, don't have another daughter with their first name beginning with "L". It makes it really confusing in the teenage years and beyond when they start getting post from banks etc.

Also chose a name that most parents can spell.

Arthur and Nathanael (though prefer the spelling Nathaniel) are my faves from that list and the only names that stood out for me for girls are Meredith and Sabrina - I think they are beautiful classic names and would go well with Lousia as would Arthur and Nathanael I think.

Boys:
Arthur - yes
David - yes
Gabriel - no
Idris - no
Joseph - yes
Morgan - the organ
Nathanael - did you mean Nathaniel? No
Rowan - not sure
Samuel - yes
Solomon - yes

Girls:
Adelaide / Ada / Ida / Ayda / Aida - no to all of them
Agnes - not sure
Celine / Selena - not sure. Probably not.
Delia - yes
Emmeline - no
Esme - Esmee
Ethel - no
Isadora - no
Jane - yes
Jemima - yes
Joanna - yes
Josephine - yes
Judith - no
Judy - not sure
Julia - too many in my age group.
Lilia/ Lilian /Liliana - no to all of them
Lina - no
Mabel - yes
Mathilda - Matilda. too popular
Meredith - no
Merryl - Meryl. Probably a no
Mina - meaner than who?
Morgan. no
Morgana - no
Muriel - not sure
Nathalia - no
Noelle - no
Rita - not sure
Rowan - not sure
Sabina/Sabine - yes
Sabrina - - not sure
Selma - no
Serena - yes
Susannah - yes
Talia - maybe
Tina - maybe

From your boys list I like Rowan, Samuel and Joseph.
A lot of the girls list is quite dated. I like Serena, Jemima and Delia and think these go with Louisa.

Easy.

Morgan/Morgana
