What's the surname like?

What is it about those names you like?
Do you like the diminutives?
Are you happy with names with more than one way of saying them?
Are you bothered by popularity?

From your boys names I like Joseph and Hugo. I would also suggest Thomas.

From your girls list I only like Penelope. Also suggest Melody or Melissa.
