Boys
Oscar - very popular, nice enough
Arthur - quite popular, I like it
Joseph - very very popular, nice but quite boring
Wilfred (wilf) - trendy at the moment, I like it
Edward - a good classic, popular but nice

Girls
Alice - lovely, classic, popular
Sophia - I find this one boring, so popular
Gabrielle/ Gabriella - I prefer Gabriella. I like it a lot.
Juliette - nice but I prefer Juliet.
Violet - lovely
Charlotte - classic, popular, lovely name though

Joseph James - alliteration isn't a problem, but I'd expect some lame "Jesse James" jokes...

My fav amongst your boy's names is Arthur, that was almost my son's name (ended up being his middle name instead). I like Joseph second best (though not as great as Arthur by far).

For girls, I feel like I see a LOT of Alice/Sophie on this board. Seems super popular atm. Not keen on Juliette/Violet. Charlotte is ok but Gabrielle is the best by far.

Boys
Oscar - not my taste
Arthur - yes, like but think it will date
Joseph - timeless
Wilfred (wilf) - I know 2 under 2 and can't see the appeal personally
Edward - prefer Edmund or Edwin but yes, do really like. Love Ned as a nn

Girls
Alice - yes
Sophia - popular for a reason, lovely
Gabrielle/ Gabriella - very 90s
Juliette - prefer Juliet spelling. Would use for my DD if I didn't have a close friend named Juliet
Violet - pretty but think it will date
Charlotte - not my taste but completely inoffensive. Charlie is a lovely nn.

My favourites are Wilf and Violet! My niece is called Violet and she’s the cutest so maybe that sways me. I think it’s such a pretty name x

Oscar James and Gabriella Alice are perfect

I love the name Alice but I personally feel there's too many L sounds with Gabrielle, it doesn't trip off the tongue.
How about Gabrielle faye
Gabrielle violet
