Opinions on names please

[silver28]

I'm due in 2 weeks and have sort of formed a short list of names but would welcome some opinions on them.

We don't want anything too unusual and don't mind a name being popular, but would prefer to avoid anything that's likely to 'date' a lot.

For a girl we have thought of:

Lucy
Susannah (prob shortened to Susie)
Edith (shortened to Edie)
Martha

For a boy:

Charles (shortened to Charlie)
Seth
......? Really struggling for more boys names - neither of these are perfect - we like Charlie but one of DH's friends has a son of that name already (I'm not bothered about it but DH is not sure).

Thanks in advance for your help.

Boys -- Theo, Silas, Gabriel, Joel, Magnus, Jonas, Jasper, Felix, Oscar, Toby?

I like all your choices, though.

very sensible

you're right in most case silver, but some people can be incredibly rude when it comes to names.

If I met a baby with the name Seth I would probably not think much about it. But if someone asks me my opinion on the name, then if I'm honest I admit I don't like it very much (don't hate it either)

We kept our neames to ourselves when we were expecting DD. Had no problem thinking of a girls name but struggled for a boy. Afterwards when we had DD we told people what we had decided for a boy and got very mixed reactions - name was Arthur.

Love Susannah and Martha.
