Thoughts on this shortlist please?

[namefornumber4]

Girls

Charlotte
Emily
Florence (flo)
Emma

Boys

Teddy
Jacob (Jake)
Bradley
James

They are not necessarily my cup of tea.
I like classic names too but a bit less used/popular.

From your list, Charlotte and James are my favourite. Really not keen on Florence

Emily and Charlotte are lovely, I’m not keen on Florence although it is very popular where I live.
From your boys names I like James and Jacob.

This is probably the first occasion on the name board (and I’ve lingered for a long time) where I’ve loved every single suggestion - they’re all fabulous OP!

If I absolutely had to rank them it would be:

1. Charlotte
2. Emma
3. Florence
4. Emily

1. James
2. Bradley
3. Teddy
4. Jacob

Emma. Beautiful classic
James again beautiful classic

Not Bradley!

Can’t really go wrong with any of your girls names, though I particularly like Florence.

Jacob and James are lovely classics, Bradley is not.

Teddy as a given name is dreadful, fine as a nickname for Edward or Theodore.

Not Bradley and Not Flo.

The rest are ok. No particular preference.

All good except Bradley

All lovely we have an 11 week old Florence ❤️

Only comment on Jacob… is it reminds me of Jacob Rees mogg!!! But that’s only thanks to my mum because Jacob was on our shortlist and my mums first thought was JRM! And it’s completely put me off it!

Girls' names are all good.

For the boys' names, Jacob and James are really nice, good, strong classic names.

I don't dislike Bradley but it is a bit (sorry to say) downmarket. It's a shame as I like Brad, but the associations aren't great.

As for Teddy, it's cutesy and twee which in my view isn't a good attribute for a boys' name. I really don't like it.

Emma and James. ❤️

Not keen on florence or teddy. I hate twee names. The rest are lovely and classic

Charlotte and Florence are lovely, not Flo though. Sorry. Emma and Emily are nice too.

I love Jacob. James is nice but not for a first name imo. Teddy, I prefer Edward, Ed. Bradley, not sure of.

When are you due?

I love Charlotte

I really like Jacob/Jake and James

I like Emma, Emily and Teddy

I'm less keen on Florence and Bradley but don't dislike them.

I love all your girls names apart from Florence.

For boys I love Jacob and James. Edward is one of my favourite boy's names so I'd use Teddy as a nickname for Edward. I don't like Teddy as a standalone name. I don't see it as a serious name for a grown man! Sorry.

Florence and James

Charlotte and Jacob are lovely

I don't like Bradley and I prefer Teddy as a nickname for Edward. Apart from that they are all nice names.

My top 2 girls are Emma and Charlotte (nickname Charlie)

Top 2 boys James and Jacob.

Florence and Emma are nice.

Edward (not Teddy) and James are nice.

Bradley is a surname, surname of family near us growing up with 2 boys.

Lovely name, my favourites are Emily and James

Bradley awful
teddy as a nn only.
Charlotte is lovely

rest of your names are nice but a bit bland IMO

Girls

Charlotte
Emily
Florence (flo)
Emma

Boys

Teddy
Jacob (Jake)
Bradley
James

all of the girls
and probably Jacob of the boys.

Your names are not my cup of tea. I find them quite unimaginative. Charlotte reminds me of the pudding and I don't like Lottie.
Emma is my choice from your options. Emmeline? Grace? Eleanor? Lucy?

Bradley seems very different from the other 3 names. Please no Bradley. I would choose James as a classic name. Teddy is nice but I think many may ask what it is nickname of. Henry? Joseph? Laurence?

Honestly, they're all so boring.
