We like names that are real (aka have history to them, aren't made up) and are simple to spell and pronounce but aren't super popular.

Our favourite boys names currently are Franklin, Caspar, Idris and Theon, and our favourite girls names currently are Ada, Iris, Cara and Tessa. Middle name will be Charles or Rose.

Would love other suggestions 😊 Thank you!

I like Iris, but Iris Rose doesn’t really go. Neither does Idris Charles.
Evie is really popular where I am.

Adam? The only girl's name from your list I like is Cara. But not Rose as a middle name. It's so, so common. Every other girl has it as her middle name. How about Fern, Faith or Lois?

Wow such amazing suggestions everyone! You've also included my own name and every one of the baby's aunt's and uncle's names haha!

From the boys suggestions I love: Otto, Samson, Isaac, Caspian and Rhett.

From the girls suggestions I love: Cora (but it sounds hilarious with our surname), Valentina, Martha and Winter.

@missmouse101 I know Rose is a popular middle name but it's the name of DH's grandma who passed away a few months ago. We'll be giving her a more unusual first name so I don't think a popular middle name is the end of the world. Charles is also a family name.
