What do you think?

Girls:
Maggie
Delilah
Bethan
Seren
Eliza

Boys:
Dylan
Nathaniel

Middle name will be May for a girl and James for a boy.

Don't want anything too popular, so nothing in the top 10 at least, don't like pretentious long-winded names and not a big fan of the current craze for old-people names (sorry to offend!) We like Welsh names, I was pregnant when we moved from Wales so it would be quite nice to give this baby a Welsh name.

Any more suggestions based on these are welcome! We already have a DD, Polly Jean.

I love Maggie and Eliza for the girls, and Nathaniel for the boys!

They would be fab with Polly! (which I also love!)

Girls:
Maggie May - sounds like a song title to me!! I prefer to use full names, so would have to be Margaret for me, with Maggie as a nn
Delilah May - not keen on this at all
Bethan May - ok, but prefer Bethany and think it works better with May as mn
Seren May - ok, but prefer Serena and again think the extra syllable works better with the mn
Eliza May - prefer this to the others

Boys:
Dylan James - quite nice
Nathaniel James OK, but prefer Dylan

Maggie - cute
Delilah - sorry, will always make me think of Delilah in the bible. Not a great woman, though it is a pretty name.
Bethan - very pretty
Seren - lovely and unusual
Eliza - love

Boys:
Dylan - nice
Nathaniel - like, also like it spelt Nathanael, which is a totally valid spelling of it.

isn't Seren "star" in welsh ? might be wrong there, think Eliza goes best with Polly

I like all the girls names on your list except for Delilah. Maggie is very sweet.

Prefer Nathaniel to Dylan (feel that Dylan is a bit over-used at the moment?).

Nathaniel is on my boy name list.
