Can you help me with our baby names lists?

[Richmonder]

Hello,

We’ve managed to narrow down our initial list, but I feel like I missed some! Below are what we’ve got so far, please feel free to let me know your favorite or any suggestions based on what we have

For reference, I am English and DH is from a Scottish/Irish family. We also both have names that have diminutives, which we like as it offers lots of options!

Girls:

Alice
Felicity
Victoria
Saoirse
Poppy
Esme
Stephanie
Ellis
Alexandra

Boys:

William
Nicholas
Thomas
Hamish
Elliott
Edward
James
Alexander
George
Angus
Max
Lachlan

Alexandra and Alexander are two of our favourites also! I also like Qlive and James, not too keen on the rest.
I'd only use Lachlan if people can pronounce it correctly as so many say it like Lacklan 😊

Alice ... stupid typos

They're all strong. If you like Saorse, then maybe one of these:
Sheena/ Síona
Sheehan/ Síochán
Shanahan/ Seanachán

@SeanCailleach

They're all strong. If you like Saorse, then maybe one of these: Sheena/ Síona Sheehan/ Síochán Shanahan/ Seanachán

Shanahan and Sheehan are surnames, I've never heard of them being used as first names. The Irish language spellings are all slightly wrong afaik.

Sorry, Seanachán spelling ok, though really very old and fallen out of use. Probably was a boys' name?

Esmae

Sarah
Emily
Sophie
Charlotte.
David
Robert
Christopher
Macauley
Edison

Girls:

Alice - love!
Felicity - nice
Victoria - love
Saoirse - pretty
Poppy - not keen
Esme - nice enough but I know lots of kids called this, it seemed to be "the" name between about 2014-2018 round where I am
Stephanie - really nice!
Ellis - not keen
Alexandra - love

Boys:

William - nice but a bit plain?
Nicholas - nice
Thomas - nice but again maybe on the plain side! Good name all the same
Hamish - not bad but not my fave!
Elliott - nice
Edward - nice but a bit old fashioned for me
James - nice
Alexander - love
George - love
Angus - ok
Max - love
Lachlan - quite like this actually!

I don't think I have seen Shanahan or Sheehan used as first names, but they sound like names. Saoirse as a name is quite a recent usage, so why not?

Ellis and William are my favourites on your list.

Oh fab! Sheehan is a Hindi name that means peaceful one, same as in Irish.

Alice and saoirse are my faves out of the girls names. James and Alexander are my fave boys names
