Not due until August so we have a fair amount of time left, but DH and I have started drawing up lists and I was wondering if anyone fancied suggesting a few more along similar lines? We won't be finding out the sex. Surname is two syllables starting with P and ending in T - think along the lines of Pagett. Names listed very roughly in order of how much we like them at the moment, though this changes a lot...

Girls:
Bryony
Imogen
Genevieve
Rosemary
Emmeline
Verity
Juliet
(Other names I like that DH has vetoed: Iris, Odette)

Boys:
Douglas
Myles
Barnaby
Hugh
Gabriel
Julian
Wilfred
(Names I like but DH doesn't: Alistair, Felix, Ivor - Names DH likes but I don't: Gordon)

Girls. I love the name Imogen. It’s much less popular than it used to be 5-10 years ago according to official statistics (and I’ve noticed this in real life too) A great choice.

Other ideas (though I prefer Imogen):

Willa
Sadie
Edith / Edie
Margaret /Maggie
Clementine/ Clemmie
Roxanne/Roxanna
Pearl
Delilah
Ottilie (Ottie)
Cora
Eliza
River
Winter
Jemima
Holly
