Our DS is Reuben, I have always loved the name and can’t find a boys name that I love as much for his sibling. Same with girls names, lots I like but none that I really love. Here is the list (I like them but don’t LOVE them) so could you please throw some suggestions at me that I may not have thought of?

Jasper
Jude
Alexander
Henry
Caspar
Caleb
Sebastian

Edith
Ada
Cora
Imogen

I love Henry! It's my favourite boys name. I also had Caspar on my list so we might have similar taste. My other favourite boys name (don't ask me why, I know it's a marmite one) is Felix.

From your girls list I love Edith and Ada but I think Ada is getting quite popular now. I also like Eleanor and Mamie for girls.
