I really like William and Sam from your boys list best (although I'd put Samuel on the BC) but Frederick is also nice.

From your girls list, I love Rose and Nina best, but Josephine is nice too.

All the above are classic names to me, that suit all ages and shouldn't date.

Great list, but William and Florence (Florrie) for me xx

I like most of your names but a bit less keen on Sidney, Arthur and Fergus (unless you're Scottish or Irish then it's ok but still not for me). Arthur is a name I actually like but it's too trendy atm.

Rose is a very common middle name makes a beautiful first name but I wonder if a lot of other people will be thinking along the same lines and go with Rose for fn.

Of your list my favourites are Sam, Rose and Josephine.

Joseph?
