Anyone?

I really like all of your girls names. My personal favourite is Emma, such a classic, simple pretty name. Emily would be my second choice. Florence / Flo third. Charlotte I also like, but I’m less keen on Charlie and Lottie.

Jacob / Jake is my favourite from your boys names, a lovely underused classic. James second, also a lovely classic. Teddy I only like if short for Edward or Theodore. I’m not keen on Bradley.

Thanks @Moreteaandchocolate

Teddy as a nickname for Edward, not as a stand alone name
prefer any other the other 3 boys

girls are all good

Charlotte and Jacob are lovely names

I didn't think of that, I've just been reading lists.

I like them all. But I'd choose Emily and James

Charlotte and Edward nicknamed Woody.
Definitely don't call a kid teddy as their main name.

Jacob. But Jake isn't great imo

I agree with this!

Winners are ... Edward and Charlotte.
Second place ... James and Emma

James and Emma are so lovely.

Dull

all of them? What would you suggest instead?

Edward, not Teddy...Ted for short though, much cooler than Teddy which is a bit 'twee' on a human, but fine for a dog 👍

Bradley is just awful, sorry OP!

Love all your other names 👍

The only name I'm not keen on is Bradley , I think times have moved on now . Teddy nah .

The others for girls and James / Jake are lovely .

Charlotte - like
Emily - ok
Florence (flo) - not keen but it's not awful
Emma - love

Teddy - trendy, too popular, will be Ted. Edward/Ed is nice
Jacob (Jake) - ok
Bradley - dated
James - love

Emma is ok and Teddy as a nickname ,the other names a bit bland for me .Choose the names that you like because people will always have differing opinions.

Girls

Charlotte -
Emily
Florence (flo)
Emma

All lovely, classic names

Boys

Teddy- ridiculously popular at the moment
Jacob (Jake)- nice
Bradley- dislike
James- another classic and not overdone

Florence and Teddy!

Given that all the names are popular other than Bradley, make sure they go well with the surname.

Anything but Bradley, it’s awful.

I don’t like Florence, never have. It’s also really popular.

I know so many Charlottes! Little and grown up.I like Emma as I don’t hear it as much.

Bradley is awful. Teddy needs an actual grown up name for when he doesn’t want to be called Teddy. James is a bit dull.

Charlotte and Jacob.

Charlotte. Emma second choice. I don’t like Emily and Florence is nice but quite popular at the moment.

I like Jacob/Jake, and Teddy (short for Edward or Theodore), and Bradley (though I see most have dissed this one!). I find James a bit boring.

All lovely - except Bradley.
