If I had to choose from your list I’d probably go with Diana and James.

Freya, Alma and Noah

Girl: Charlotte, Anna or Diana
Boy: Edward or James

I like Iris, Fern and Diana from your girls list, and Edward from your boys list.

Fave girls: Iris, Harriet, Maeve, Fern

Fave boys: Isaac, Louis, Edward, Toby

That is some shortlist!

Freya - lovely, very popular a while ago.

Alma - nah - 1980s barmaid
Maisie - it's cute but twee, will date. OK as a nn for Mary, Margaret etc
Charlotte - likeable but SO many of them
Harriet - nice
Elisa - nice, it will get muddled with the more popular Eliza though
Jasmine - pretty and not overused
Eva - OK - many of them
Anna - Lovely classic, popular right now
Maya - nah, will date and multiple pronunciations will irritate
Iris - lovely and not super overused, a rare grown up flower name!
Tamsin - no, ugly, and just too close to tampon...
Maeve - no, ugly.

Lily - no, way overused, super drippy
Fern - nice and up and coming

Elodie - ok, bit fussy.

Diana - lovely, classic, rarely used - very much due a revival.
Amelia - nice, but a lot of them about, slightly twee

Boys:
Toby - no, wet.
Charles - nice, with a nice nn option, lots of them though
George - ditto, without the nicknames
Edward - ditto with even more nicknames
Arthur - lovely but very popular
Louis - I think it's also very popular? I much like it but it's nice name
Noah - very nice, not overused right now
James - great classic, becoming more popular I think, nice range of nn
Isaac - great strong name

.... so from your list I would go for Diana and either James or Issac

Too many names for me to go through the lot, so I'll just tell you which I don't like:

Alma & Maisie from the girls' list, and Noah & Isaac from the boys'.

The rest are all nice or I don't mind them.

I like:

Girls:
Lily
Elodie

Boys:
Edward

Iris
Louis

They're all quite nice. My favourites are
Freya, Tamsin and Fern.
Edward, Louis and James.

Maeve, Elodie and Diana stand out on your girls list.

Love Maeve so much, although its definitely surging in popularity.
Elodie is such a beautiful, classy name.
Diana is a strong and lovely name, and I think is due a comeback!

Isaac is the only one to my taste on your list. Strikes the right balance between classic but not boring. Zac is a good potential nickname.

10.Freya - bit too popular, but pretty
17.Alma - too old-fashioned for me, prefer Alva
18.Maisie - too cutesy for me as a given name

13.Elisa - will get confused with trendy Eliza, prefer Elsa

2.Anna - classic, feminine, international, a can't go wrong name
7.Maya - trendy but pretty and international
6.Iris - lovely, both nature and mythological vibes

3.Charles - nice classic, but Charlie quite popular
7.George - classic but dislike the sound
