I love Alice & Florence.
I'm indifferent to Grace & Amelia.
I don't like Margot.

I love Magnus & Louis.

I'm not a fan of Margot, Louis or Magnus but I don't think you can go wrong with any of the others

Congratulations

Please feel free to give any similar sounding names too

Grace ok, bit boring

Boy:

Atticus no

Louis love
William ok

I like Alice, Grace and Florence from your list, though all are popular ATM, especially Grace. I'm not keen on the other names.
Have you considered Marguerite instead of Margot?

The drawback to Florence for me, is my dislike of Flo or Florrie as nicknames, as otherwise, it is a very pretty name.

I'm not keen on William or Louis, I think Louis will be popular due to the royal connection.
I like all the rest of your list, especially Magnus.

@MAMAW31

Is Magnus awful?

In my opinion, yes. Sorry...

@BeingATwatItsABingThing really? How come?

I fear it's very marmite!

I like Alice and Louis.

Grace, Amelia, Hugo and William are fine.

I really dislike Margot, Florence, Atticus and Magnus.

Love the girls except Margot.
Amelia Grace is beautiful. As is Florence Amelia. Grace Amelia.

Only like Louis from your boys list.
Hugo William goes well.

@MAMAW31
It’s just not to my taste. I think it sounds too harsh and a bit pretentious and try hard. Not a pleasant sound.

I prefer names like Theodore, Lucas, Jesse, Cameron... though so we probably just have different tastes.

Grace - nice, a bit boring
Alice - ditto
Florence - Do quite like it
Amelia - a bit boring
Margot - Probably the one I like most, but I expect it's gonna get quite popular

Boy:

Atticus - I like it, though it has a bit of a reputation as 'archetypal wannabe hipster name'
Magnus - Nice
Hugo - also like it
Louis - a bit overused
William - a boring name in itself, but I do like the nicknames Will and Bill

I think we share very similar taste, apart from Magnus (sorry!)x My favourites are Louis or Hugo for a boy, Margot or Alice for a girl.

I mean, a lot depends on surname. I tend to think unusual first names go better with common/ordinary surnames than more unusual ones.

Eg 'Atticus Brown' - cool
'Atticus Frogmorton' - a bit much

Or other side

'William Brown' - totally forgettable
'William Frogmorton' - a bit more gravitas

That said, kids have an unusual surname and not especially common names. But I was willing to consider names like Jennifer and Edward because of them having their dad's (interesting) surname, whereas with my (very boring) one those names would have sounded extremely... beige.

Grace - I've been put off this name ever since I heard someone pronounce it as 'Grice'
Alice - no strong opinions on it, nice enough but prefer Alicia or Alessia, especially as they are similar to Amelia below
Florence - ok but not a massive fan, the nickname options are good
Amelia - ok but I hear mealy
Margot - strongly dislike. I mostly don't like how it looks written down and it is probably a bit faddy.

Atticus - I like this
Magnus - no
Hugo - no
Louis - yes a lovely name
William - perfectly pleasant

Alice and Magnus are my favourites

I prefer Hugh to Hugo

Love: Alice, Louis, Magnus, William.

Like: Florence, Grace, Amelia.

It's ok: Hugo

Dislike, sorry: Margot, Atticus.

Similar: Elise, Flora, Megan, Hannah, Emily. Edward, Marcus, Benjamin, Oliver.

Grace - too popular
Alice - would use
Florence - ok, don't like Flo. Prefer Flora
Amelia - don't like
Margot- don't like

Atticus - awful
Magnus - ok
Hugo - ok
Louis - will get spelt Louie or Luis
William - classic but I wouldn't pick it

All girls names are fine, very popular, not super exciting.

Similarly for boys... other than Atticus which is more stand out - I like it, and Magnus which is a bit unusual, I don’t especially like it.

Lovely name choices! I adore atticus and Margot but they're all nice
