Very early days for me but I feel like I'm going to struggle with names a lot this time. There a a few like that I like but none really stand out to me as being the one. Can I have your thoughts and maybe some other suggestions please?

Juliet
Freya
Maria
Erin
Daisy
Rosie

Rowan
Finn
Alexander
Jude

Thank you

Juliet is my favorite on your girls list. Rowan is also on my list :)

Love Maria and Marianne.

All your other girls names are nice too, though Daisy is a little cutsie for me. Róisín feels more elegant and grown up than Rosie.

Love Rowan and Alexander!

Juliet - nice, up and coming - prefer Julia
Freya - lovely but overused - Ffion, Freida, Thora, Flora..
Maria - Great - due a revival
Erin - meh
Daisy - sweet but wet
Rosie - so many of them, also a bit twee as a full name - Rose/Rosa/Rosanna better

Other thoughts - Marianne, Marina, Sylvie, Stella, Jasmine, Robin, Ffion

Rowan - nice, but v popular
Finn - nice, popular recently
Alexander - classic, lots around
Jude - great and the most unusual

Others - Jesse, Jonah, Jonas, Saul, Jethro, Alistair, Kester, Seth, Silas, John

Rosie - I’m biased as my daughter name although long form is Rosamund

Maybe Rohan (emphasis on h) to be more masculine as few here seem to think Rowan is for a girl.

Juliet - gorgeous, elegant and underused
Freya - very pretty if slightly "now" (well the last 20/30 years!)
Maria - timeless classic
Erin - okay, don't love or hate
Daisy - too cutesy
Rosie - as above but a nice nn for Rose/Rosa/Rosalie/Rosanna etc

Rowan- very nice, shame it's become trendy/popular
Finn - too trendy sounding for me
Alexander - lovely timeless classic
Jude - too trendy plus I dislike the sound as well.

For me it's Juliet and Alexander as the winners - as while some of your other choices sound nice, I'm wary on names which may "date" kids in future (if there are other options you like as much).
