Hello , we are expecting our first baby in May , and we are so indecisive over names , our surname is Green which has excluded the one name we both liked best - Gwendolyn as Gwen Green looks ridiculous 🥲
Our top contenders otherwise for a girl are :

Anastasia June ( Annie )
Cordelia Jane
Edlyn Nicole ( Edie)
Francesca Ann (Frankie)

Boys -

Jude James
Oliver ( But does this just sound like olive green?)
Noah Jude
Arlo James

Which ones from this list would you say are best and any suggestions ?

Anastasia and Cordelia are lovely but all your girls’ names go ok.

You can not use Oliver. Jude Green is too short. Noah and Arlo are fine.

Annabel
George

I think you need more than 1 syllable with Green so Jude doesnt work. Otherwise they're all lovely names.

whats wrong with Gwen/Gwendoline Green, sounds fine to me

Agree you can't use Oliver. Cordelia and Noah would be my picks.

The baby will be about 3 months old now.
