Of the girls names I like Josephine, Jemima and Cassandra. After them maybe Adeline.

The boys names I don't love so much though not sure why. I quite like James. Other similar kinds of traditional names I prefer are Patrick, Thomas, Benjamin and Samuel. I do quite like Jasper and Tobias which seem to be liked on here and on similar lines to your list.

Arlo stands out as a bit odd amongst those traditional boys names - none of the other you could wrong with but I don't like Arlo. My favourite on that list are Alexander and Christian (Christopher?)

Ottilie will need spelling every time you say it.

I love Grace, Beatrice and Harriet from your girls' list.
