@Whatsyourflava thank you. And in response to your previous questions we are still struggling with girl names too but have narrowed it down more. On the list are: Alice, Eleanor, Nina, Elowen, Maeve, Delilah and Iris.

Seth is a great name but you can’t use it with Reuben as Reuben and Seth are the brothers in Cold Comfort Farm, a satirical comedy duo of Neanderthal rural basic-ness.

@Moonshine160 oh wow really love your girl list! Especially Delilah, Iris Eleanor Alice Maeve and Nina 🥰. Don’t like Elowen as much as I think it will get misheard for other names and that would annoy me.xx

Ezra
Asa

I know brothers Reuben and Quentin.

I also like Douglas and Samson.

I think Samson might be a bit difficult to live up to if your ds turns out to be a sensitive type with a slight build. It'd be like calling a shy little girl with mousey hair Carmen.

Delilah had rather a colourful history. A bit like Jezebel.

Love Sebastian and Nina.

Lovely list OP.

Favourites on your list are: Tobias, Sebastian, Jasper and Maxwell.

I think Lucas, Theo and Jacob would also make good names.

Of your girl list Alice and Eleanor are my favourites.
