Elsie
North

You obviously like the name Marley but it will forever be associated with the film/Bob. I wouldn't

*Norah not North

James and Florence are my faves.

I dislike all your boy names except Elias, which I really like. James is nice enough.

Not keen on your girls either, Penelope is the best by a lot.

Yes to these. No to the rest.

Teddy (if short for Edward/Theodore)
Tommy (if short for Thomas)

Cali (if short for Calista)

… favourites - Elias and Nancy

Marley (I am a Bob fan; are you? If not, avoid it.)

Nora (no h, not necessary, looks silly)
Penelope

Arthur - I like it but it is too popular for me. Would make a lovely middle name

Bodhi - i like it, but think you would need a certain personality to pull it off. It wouldn't suit all teenage boys / men

Elias/Eli - I really like it. Love Eli as a NN and Elias or Elijah as the full name

Fletcher - I usually don't like surnames as first names but I do live Fletcher

Fraser - not a fan. I just think of the TV show

James - lovely classic

Marley - not a fan at all, seems very faddy

Ozzy - ok as a NN for Oscar but not as a given name. Like Bodhi I think you would need to be a certain type of person to pull it off

Rez - awful

Spencer - not a fan

Teddy - awful. I really don't get the love

Tommy - Thomas yes but I can't stand Tommy

Vinnie - not for me

Cali - I like it but spelt Callie
Delilah - lovely
Elsie - I like but again wouldn't suit everyone
Florence - love it but too popular for me
Marley - dislike
Nancy - dislike
Noa - no, everybody would assume she's a boy
Norah - beautiful
Oliana - it's ok
Penelope - nice enough just not for me
Ronnie - I like as a NN for Veronica

Out of your list I don’t mind:

Fraser - good, strong name
James - strong name, can't go wrong. Not keen on Jamie tho.
