Arthur, Eli and James for the boys. I also like Tommy and Teddy but would use Thomas/Edward to give a more grown up option. I really like Florence and Penelope, and quite like Norah too.

BOYS

Eli is the boys name we have picked out, so of course I love it!

I find Arthur, James and Tommy a bit plain. Bodhi sounds like a child trying to say Brody to me. Teddy would work on a baby but I can't imagine it on any other age. Not a fan of Fraser, Ozzy or Vinnie. I like the others.

GIRLS

The only names I don't like are Elsie, Nancy and Norah. I adore Penelope and Noa! I've never heard of Oliana but it's lovely. Delilah in the Bible wasn't a good person, so that's something to be mindful of, though I still really like the name.

Boys

Bodhi - no
Elias/Eli - love
Fletcher - no
Fraser - no
James - yes, used to find it a bit bland but like it more now

You've got a good few names in there that would be brilliant as short forms of longer classic names. Go down this road, as you get the name you like plus they get options!
