Have always loved the name Erin. From the boys list I like Jude. It was one of my top choices for my little boy but my partner didn't like it.

I love Clara, Adelaide and Delphine from your list. Also suggest Emmeline and Ottilie.

For boys, Felix and Maxwell are my favourites. Others we liked were Rowan and Elliott (I think these are quite popular in some areas).

Thanks everyone, your comments have been super helpful.
Now to try and whittle it down to 3 for each sex and make the final decision once they're here!
