[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], and [name]Isabel[/name] is nice, and I think [name]Greta[/name] is, well, great, but I’d use [name]Margaret[/name] “[name]Greta[/name],” personally. Other ideas:

[name]Anthony[/name]
[name]Donovan[/name]
[name]Eliot[/name]*
[name]Elias[/name]
[name]Frederick[/name]*
[name]Nicholas[/name]*
[name]Oliver[/name]*
[name]Theodore[/name]*
[name]Thaddeus[/name]
[name]Timothy[/name]
[name]William[/name]*

[name]Adelaide[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name]*
[name]Briony[/name]
[name]Diana[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]*
[name]Eleanor[/name]*
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Gwendolyn[/name]
[name]Julia[/name]*
[name]Katherine[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name]*
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]*
[name]Ramona[/name]
[name]Rosanna[/name]
[name]Violet[/name]

Marked my favorites! I think mainstream classics are best, and the good think is that many offer unique nicknames - [name]Fritz[/name] for [name]Frederick[/name], [name]Nico[/name] for [name]Nicholas[/name], [name]Tad[/name] for [name]Theodore[/name], [name]Wiley[/name] for [name]William[/name]. On the girls’ side, you’ve got fun options that are classic and beautiful, too - [name]Lola[/name] for [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Jules[/name] for [name]Julia[/name], [name]Kit[/name] for [name]Katherine[/name], [name]Lula[/name] for [name]Louisa[/name], [name]Greta[/name] for [name]Margaret[/name], [name]Romy[/name] for [name]Ramona[/name].

Me too! I love love love [name]James[/name] with your other two. [name]Isabel[/name] is very pretty and classic, but to me is really overused. [name]How[/name] do you feel about:

[name]Elizabeth[/name] (so versatile, so many great nns!)
[name]Eloise[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Virginia[/name]
or [name]Eleanor[/name]

From your list, I would pick [name]Isabel[/name] and [name]Thomas[/name], but since you aren’t in love with those, let’s see what else we can come up with. [name]Benjamin[/name] and [name]Caroline[/name] feel very classic and traditional to me. Here are some others that share the same feel:

[name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Katherine[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name]
[name]Anna[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name] (nn [name]Greta[/name])
[name]Grace[/name]
[name]Susannah[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Cecilia[/name]
[name]Julia[/name]

[name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Matthew[/name]
[name]Simon[/name]
[name]Stephen[/name]
[name]Timothy[/name]
[name]Lucas[/name]
[name]William[/name]
[name]Daniel[/name]
[name]Oliver[/name]

I think my favorite combos from above would be:

[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Margaret[/name], and [name]Alexander[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Eleanor[/name], and [name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Susannah[/name], and [name]Timothy[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Elizabeth[/name], and [name]William[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Josephine[/name], and [name]Oliver[/name]

[name]Isabel[/name] is pretty popular, at least in the States. I think [name]Greta[/name] is a better option if that’s where you’re from.

I voted for something else. I love all the names, actually, but feel [name]Thomas[/name] and [name]James[/name] feel a little short with [name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], and [name]Isabel[/name]. And [name]Greta[/name], while lovely, seems out of step. Some suggestions:

[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Isabel[/name], and [name]Timothy[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Isabel[/name], and [name]Theodore[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Isabel[/name], and [name]Samuel[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Isabel[/name], and [name]Nathaniel[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Isabel[/name], and [name]Nicholas[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Isabel[/name], and [name]Zachary[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Isabel[/name], and [name]Sebastian[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Isabel[/name], and [name]Gabriel[/name]
[name]Benjamin[/name], [name]Caroline[/name], [name]Isabel[/name], and [name]Anthony[/name]
