We are struggling to agree on names.
Finding a girls name we like seems to be easier than finding a boy’s name we both agree on.
So far, our list is:

Girls :
Clara
Rosalie
Melody
Lorelei
Ruby

Boys :

Noah
Rowan
Kai (unsure if this is chavvy!)

We can’t have any names beginning with a J, B, I, D, H or T due to our surname so that’s making things difficult!

We can’t have Owen or Matthew (already nephew names)

We don’t mind traditional or modern.

Need some inspo if you can help!

Love Rosalie and Clara from your girls list, Noah and Rowan are very popular atm where I am but are nice.

What about
Elodie
Alba
Norah
Callie
Mila
Rosie

Reuben
Albie
Levi
Finn
Flynn

Élodie is nice but we already have a niece called Ellie.

I think we are pretty set on either Clara or Rosalie but not 100% on a boy’s name.

DH has vetoed below:
Caleb
Alexander
Remi
Luca
Nathan
Quinn

Melody and Clara are lovely
Noah I like too @Boredhavemercy
Rowan is my baby girls name so I do like it but I already hate the inevitable shortening to Row and hadn't realised that RoMan with an M is the fastest rising boy name (top 30 and still rising). I hate how people always muddle up Rowan and Roman and there's always a few RoMans at the baby groups and people make comments and get confused. A few years ago wouldn't have been an issue but Roman has boomed in the last few years.

I like Rosalie in particular, and all your boys' names are nice.

Other possible boys:
Euan/Ewan/Ewen
Eli
Ezra
Hugo
Lawrence/Lawrie
Micah
Morgan
Noel
Nolan
