I like the girl names but the boy names are pretty uninspiring / bland / top 20. I'd rule out Jude straight away as a one syllable name and go for 3 syllables at least with a 1 syllable surname.

I like Georgiana nn Georgie - my favourite of your choices for a girl
Theodora is quite nice but I prefer Thea or Dora / Dory to Teddy as a nn for a girl

I like Oliver, William and Oscar. I would choose Oscar as it doesn’t usually get shortened and Olly Rose and Will Rose don’t sound as good as Oscar Rose to me. Not keen on Jude (a bit feminine to me especially with Rose as a surname)

Theodora and jude

Theodora Rose nn Teddie
Georgiana Rose nn Georgie
These are lovely, beautiful names and cute nicknames!

Oliver, William, Jude, Oscar
All good names! My favourite would be Oliver.

Timeless William is gorgeous, classic Oliver is very nice, Oscar is pleasant enough (if a bit trendy) but really dislike Jude (unpleasant sound and associations plus very trendy to boot). William also sounds the best with Rose imo - I think you need a very classic masculine name (like William, Henry, Edward etc) to pair best with your surname.

Georgiana is slightly frilly but I do think it’s somehow still beautiful and elegant so would definitely be my pick of your girl choices. Theodora, I’m much less keen on the sound of - I think it’s the Dora part as I don’t dislike Thea, it sounds a bit frumpy in comparison.

If you like elegant girls names with masculine/unisex nicknames, I’d also perhaps suggest Juliet (Jules) or Josephine (Jo/Joey).

William and Georgiana would be a very elegant Austenesque sibset though (ala Fitzwilliam and Georgiana Darcy 😍).

Georgiana and William and my picks from your list :)

Your girls names are lovely with Rose.

I like William Rose the best.
O Rose sounds weird, as does Jude Rose.
Other suggestions ..
Lionel Rose
Geoffrey Rose
Alistair Rose
