Opinions on my short lists...

[Blondie787]

Pretty set on these names and will be using a combo of them for first and last names. Surname ends in ‘er’.

Arlo
Jesse
Jude
Leo
Cassius (love, but not sure I’m brave enough)
Grayson
Fabian

Claudia
Romilly (Nn Romy)
Marley
Effie
Zara

Any suggestions for combinations?

Claudia Margot and Jesse Fabian! Gorgeous names.

Ages since I have seen Fabian suggested. I have a 13yo Fabian and its a great name IMO. I like Fabian Jude

Love Cassius and Margot.

Romilly Zara if it's a girl for sure.

tbh I prefer Jude as a first name for a boy
Jude Cassius?

I chose Cassius Jude and Claudia Zara before seeing your update! :)

Arlo - no
Jesse - no
Jude - no
Leo - yes but it is very popular
Cassius - yes
Grayson - no
Fabian - no

Claudia - prefer Claudine
Romilly (Nn Romy) - no
Marley - no
Effie - no
Zara - yes
Margot - maybe
Ruby - maybe

Jesse, Jude or Leo for boys
Effie- absolutely love this name!!! My husband wouldn't let me use it :(. Like Ruby and Zara as well

Cassius - love this name
Ruby but out of your two final names, Zara is preferable to my ear than Claudia

Really lovely names except Grayson, Fabian and Marley.

I'm pretty sure Grayson will be heading down the same route as Jordan - Brandon - Jayden - Kayden

Fabian sounds a bit try hard or drag queen

And Marley was done to death around here as well as Harley

Your other names are really nice though.

Love Jesse and Cassius. I know a guy called Cassius (nn Cass).

Also love the name Romy on its own!

If you like Marley would you consider Marnie?

Leo
Claudia

From your new shortlist I like Romilly Zara and Cassius Jude the most
