From your boys list i really like Finn, and i like Thomas. From the girls list, i love Erin and Eden, and I like May x

Thomas is my favourite for your boys
Eden, Rose and Roisin are my favourite for the girls

Thomas
Arthur
Finn

Saoirse
Bronwen
Rose

John, David & Richard are boring. Sean is dated. Favorite is Thomas or Arthur.

Erin & Ada are rising in popularity and safe. May is dull. Eden & Roisin I just don't like. Favorite is Bronwen. How about Anwen?

From the boys

Thomas - like a lot
John - this is good, unusual in this generation
David - ditto
Richard - not hugely keen
Sean - OK
Arthur - OK
Owain - OK
Finn - popular atm

Erin - like
Eden - no
Ada - like a lot

My favourites are David and Roisin, quite closely followed by John and Ada.

John
Arthur
Owain - especially like this name

Eden
Bronwen
May

Particularly Bronwen (lovely and underused) and May (underused on its own, love it's simplicity).

Thanks guys. A lot of the more traditional names on the list (Thomas, John, David, May) are family names which is why they are on there. I want to get the balance right between a traditional, family name and something more modern. We don’t know what we are having and are hoping to pick first and middle names from these lists, so if you have any suggestions for pairings, I’d be grateful! It’s good to have other pairs of eyes on these things 😂

I think Ada Roisin flows very well. Erin May is nice too.

David Thomas or David Owain work. Don't go for John Thomas

John (strong and classic, definitely due a revival)

Not keen on any of the girls names to be honest but Ada is the nicest imo.

Thomas or Erin.

@CatteStreet definitely not 😂😂 although I did have a boss who was John Thomas.. and he was a completely dick lol

Thomas - boring! Every second man and boy I know is called Thomas/Tom. I don't understand the popularity.
John - quite nice, a strong name.
David - ok, not mad about it.
Richard - not a fan.
Sean - ok.
Arthur- probably the best on the list.
Owain - like.
Finn - not a fan, very popular.

Erin - very popular, not a huge fan.
Eden - like.
Ada - like.
Saoirse- like.
Bronwen - dislike.
May - dislike.
Rose - love! My favourite!
Roisin - ok.

Thomas & Erin

Thomas - lovely
John - ok
David - not a fan
Richard - dislike
Sean - hate
Arthur - lovely
Owain - ok
Finn - love

Erin - ok
Eden - lovely
Ada - love
Saoirse - dislike
Bronwen - dislike
May - nice
Rose - beautiful
Roisin - dislike

Finn for a boy
Saoirse for a girl

I’m surprised by May & Rose being described as over popular - May has been given to less than 0.01% of babies for the past 20+ years & Rose less than 0.1%.....

I've got a Bronwen

My Aunty is a Bronwen. It’s a great name

Richard or David

Rose for a girl

Love John and Rose for similar reasons - undisputed classics neither used much (Rose often used as a middle name but rarely as a first). Johnny / Rosie good for little ones.

Thomas / May also good. Richard and David are also classics but seem much more dated to me. Arthur, Finn, Erin, Eden, Ada are a bit faddy. Sean, Owain, Saoirse, Bronwyn, Roisin are fine assuming you are Irish / Welsh! If you are perhaps John / Rose + Irish / Welsh name? Rose Bronwyn is good. Good luck

Adore John! Use John!
Thomas is ok too.

Out of the girls, I like Rose and May. Very common middle names but lovely for a first name

I like Thomas, Arthur and David for boys and Erin, Rose and Bronwen for girls.

We are both Welsh/Irish hence the Welsh and Irish names 😂

From the boys list keep
David
Richard

Girls list
Erin
Eden

Oh and Thomas
