I got these suggestions from a previous thread and had enough lovely suggestions to make a shortlist!

Could you choose 1 or 2 boy names and 1 or 2 girl names from the shortlist that you like and think goes well with the sibling's names?

Thanks

I'd steer clear of Beatrix since both Jemima and Tabitha are also Beatrix Potter characters. You'll start looking like a super fan.

Beatrice might be nice though?

Aside from that. My favourite of your girl options is Imogen. I don't love the others.

Boys: I love Sebastian and Gabriel (tho the latter is hard to pull off).

I'm also surprised by how much I like Ignatious NN Iggy. It's a bold choice, but rather lovely, I think.

Thanks

I was surprised to find myself liking it too! It was suggested on another thread.

Forgot to add, for girls:

Magdalene/a
Honora
