Baby #3 name ideas

Just found out that we're expecting #3! 🥰 2 DDs already, aged 8 and 4. It's still very early but I LOVE thinking of names. Trouble is with being a teacher AND having been trying for babies/pregnant for the majority of the past 9 years is that I have now totally overthought pretty much all names 🤣

Our girls names are Fern and Norah. We prefer shorter, older names, but not too popular. I'm not a fan of nicknamey sounding names/those that end in an y/ie (although, strangely loving Annie at the moment!)

Would love to know what names come to mind for both girls and boys when you think of Fern and Norah!

Throwing out a list as I imagine being a teacher makes it harder to choose!
