We don’t know yet what we are having but please could you let me know your favourite options from the below for a girl and boy. Thank you!

Phoebe
Matilda
Clara
Cora
Olivia
Lila
Theodora

Toby
Henry
Arthur
Louis
George
Wilbur

Theodora and Wilbur ❤️

Clara then Olivia

Louis then Henry

Strictly from the list, Phoebe and Toby or Arthur.
I prefer Thea to Theodora, and prefer it to Phoebe - it was on our list. I find Theodora... a lot of a name.

Phoebe - like
Olivia - like but it's so popular

Matilda - ok but don't like Tilda or Tilly
Cora - I like Cara
Clara - don't like
Lila - don't like
Theodora - don't like

Toby - like
Henry - ok
Arthur- ok
Louis - ok but don't like Louie
George - ok
Wilbur - is it a piglet?

Phoebe or Olivia, Toby or Henry

Those three are my favourites too. I love Theodora and Henry.

I’m never sure why George is so popular: it’s not a nice sound. But people like it.

Cora is a bit 🦜 like for me: caw-caw!

I also like Toby and Arthur but think I’d put Tobias on the bc.

No child should be landed with a name like Wilbur; it's comical and truly awful.

Apart from that, your list has some really nice names on it, nothing that would raise eyebrows. Theodora is a bit much and Lila is a bit nothingy, but the rest are perfectly nice names.

Apart from Wilbur...

I know a little Wilbur: he’s gorgeous and it’s really very cute on him.

Clara & George

Clara and Louis

Matilda and Henry

One other caution with Cora is I’m sure at some point she’d get the “ Cor, look at that!” joke.

It is hard to find a name that doesn’t lend itself to some sort of joke, but somehow Cora just sounds to me like some bloke exclaiming “ Cor blimey…!”

Clara would be fine, except judging by the sheer number of times I've seen it suggested on here I can only assume in abt 5 years it will be more common than olivia. (I had a family member choose it in early 2000's as a family name that wasn't common, that year Olivia became number 4 I think. They were trend setters 😅)

Clara and Toby are my favourites from your list.

Cora Lila and especially Wilber are my least favourite.

While you've chosen some nice names, several of them are hugely popular, such as Olivia Arthur and Louis, so if that matters to you, check out where the names come in the Top Twenty names lists.

Cora and Louis

Lilah
Toby.

Phoebe or Clara

Clara and George.

l love George, it was my great-grandad’s name, and wanted to use it somewhere in DS2’s name, but DH didn’t like it. 28yrs on I’m still bitter about it, DGS was almost called it, and I’m so sad he wasn’t, but I do love his name.

Lila and Toby

My faves ..

Matilda
Phoebe

Theodora and Louis are my favourites from your list.
