Only use Alba if you are Scottish.

I would look up all of the definitions of maverick, it includes an unscupulous person, a type of missile and an unbranded calf.

Julian reminds me of the Famous Five.

Valentino no
Bowen - not a fan
Killian - awful
Roman ok

LOVE Noa and Scarlett! Now you mention it,Rafferty is pretty cool for a girl but I doubt MN will agree as MN hates boys names for girls. I think nickname Raffy would be cute for a girl though! What about Rafaela? I think Aspen sounds beautiful but would she be called Ass for a nickname?! Of your boys name I only like Otto. Actually Killian is pretty cool too.

Oh and I love Alba! And of course you don’t need to be Scottish to use it All the Albas I know are actually from Spanish speaking countries.

Girls
Alice- bit plain, but ok.
Halo- I do think of the game
Ireland- no

Rafferty- I quite like it
Blythe- Park near me
Allegra- really like
Cameron- ok

Boys

Henry- ok
Koa- not sure how it’s pronounced but I like it
Maverick- not keen
Hunter- not keen
Winslow- no
Otto- quite like
Valentino- ok
Bowen- not keen
Killian- love this name
Roman- love it but very popular
Wolfe- not keen

I am now singing Halo by Beyonce after reading that OP! Unusual but I don't dislike it. I also like Ada and Allegra for a girl. I love Otto for a boy!

Here are my opinions on your Boys list:

Wolfgang - no sorry. He’s highly unlikely to be a famous musician and the name just puts too much pressure and embarrassment on him when he ultimately decides to work in an office like the rest of us

Beau - nice

Harley - bit downmarket. How about Harvey

Julian - wet but ok

Henry - love a classic

Koa - not heard before

Maverick - no for same reasons as Wolfgang above

Hunter - ok

Winslow - not heard before

Otto - LOVE LOVE LOVE (favourite)

Valentino - LOVE (2nd favouote)

Bowen - no too ripe for confusion with other names. Will spent life correcting people

Killian - no sounds like Killer

Roman - fastest rising boys name last year. Leaping up the charts will be top 10 in next year or so and then likely to badly date. I’m sure Darren sounded lovely and fresh to parents naming their kids in the 80s but it doesn’t sound good now. Roman is now a very run of the mill name but doesn’t have the benefit of being a classic (like Henry). I’d avoid

Wolfe - the Wolf’s I know so not have an E on the end. How about Wilf?

Boy name suggestions:

Christopher nn Kit
Wilf(red)
Barnaby /Barney
Nathan/Nathaniel /Nate
Rafferty / Raffy
Sidney
Eli
Ellis
Miles / Milo
Seth
Cole
Otis
Eric
Casper
Rudy/Rudi
Dexter
Blake
Angus
Dominic
Idris
Percy
Chester
Caleb
River
Bodhi

Hope some of the above are helpful and fit the type of criteria you are after

Of your girls name I love Alice Ada and Scarlet best. Alice is one of my very favourites - such a classic

Here are some other suggestions:

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

I really like Alice and Henry although I like quite classic names 🤗 x

Love Valentino and Valentine.

@Tayla9889

For girls I love Alice, Scarlett, Rafferty and Ada

For boys I love Henry, Otto and Wolfe

Sorry Roman is awful and was last year’s fastest rising name according to ONS official stats. So whilst the name sounds quite fresh to our ears it’ll be very run of the mill to the next generation. There’s SO many Rohan/Roman/Roan/Ronan type names. And it’s booming. When there’s so many lovely names I’d avoid the one that is the fastest rising name and so ripe for confusion

Alice - nice.
Halo - awful.
Ireland - I can only imagine American girls called this. I don't like it at all
Scarlett - I wouldn't use it but I quite like it
Alba - lovely
Noa - I'm not a fan but I know a few. I wouldn't use it without Jewish heritage
Ada - lovely
Rafferty - nice for a boy, awful for a girl
Blythe - I love this. (Only because of Gilbert though)
Allegra - it's ok
Cameron - awful. Everyone will think she's names after Cameron Diaz
Aspen - not keen
Aisling - I really like this but pronunciation is an issue

Wolfgang - pronounced the proper German way (volf- gang) or an anglicisation? Either way I'm not keen
Beau - a bit dull.
Harley - down-market
Julian - I like this a lot but it's utterly different from your other choices
Henry - nice enough
Koa - sounds like a cross between boa and constrictor!
Maverick - awful
Hunter - awful
Winslow - sounds like Onslow which makes me think of Keeping Up Appearances. Our a window cleaner
Otto - nice
Valentino - ok. But really tough for the kids if he's not handsome
Bowen - ok, except it's a type of skin cancer
Killian - the ones I know are complete idiots but I would quite like the name if it wasn't for them
Roman - boring
Wolfe - ok. I wouldn't bother with the e because he'd have to spell it out every day of his whole life.

Cillian is the proper spelling.

I LOVE Wolfe. Considered this for my youngest after the Irish freedom fighter Wolfe Tone.

Don’t like Julian- seems a very ‘wet’ name to me

@Dietcokeaddiction Bowen is a type of skin cancer? Errrr that’s that name ruled out forever then! It also sounds soo similar to Bowel. If the “N” isn’t written clearly people will read as Bowel.

Henry and Otto are nicest from your boys list. Agree that Roman is boring these days and booming in popularity (fastest rising name). Will date badly as it isn’t a classic the way Henry is.
For girls I love Alice and Ada

Alice - pretty
Halo - ridiculous
Ireland - horrid
Scarlett - okay
Alba - unpleasant sounding
Noa - no
Ada - aunt who knits
Rafferty - trying too hard
Blythe - sounds like you're wretching
Allegra - 1980s footballers wives new money
Cameron - silly
Aspen - okay
Aisling - awful

Wolfgang - he'll get his head kicked in
Beau - dreadful
Harley - common as muck
Julian - wet blanket
Henry - lovely
Koa - ridiculous
Maverick - grow up
Hunter - are you 16?
Winslow - he'll get his head kicked in. Call his teddy bear that.
Otto - WW2 pilot
Valentino - ridiculous
Bowen - awful
Killian - you've got the spelling wrong. But not good.
Roman - meh
Wolfe - 1990s American TV
