For girls-
Floral names- Lily, Violet, rose, poppy, Daisy, iris etc. I know they are very overused and popular but they are so pretty
Jewel/stone names- Crystal, Ruby, Jade, Pearl, Sapphire etc. they just bring colour and sparkle to mind!
Underused 80s/90s classics- Amy, Chloe, Rebecca, Zoe, Lauren.

For Boys-
Most of the ‘royal family’ male names- George, Henry, Charles, James, Louis, Philip.
‘old man’ names- Archie, Freddie, Albert, Wilfred, Stanley.
