Thanks everyone for such lovely ideas.

@winterlyricalfox I love [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] and [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] but very popular in the school I work at so have left them off for now. Definitely debating between [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] as well as adding [name_f]Eulalia[/name_f] and [name_f]Odette[/name_f]. [name_u]Loving[/name_u] [name_u]Sylvester[/name_u] and [name_u]Florian[/name_u] too from the boys.
@tallemaja so many incredible options there, thanks. Adding [name_u]Cleo[/name_u], [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f], [name_f]Heloise[/name_f], [name_f]Ismay[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] from girls. Really liking [name_u]Emrys[/name_u], [name_m]Isidor[/name_m], [name_u]Laurence[/name_u], [name_u]Meridian[/name_u], [name_m]Rafferty[/name_m], [name_m]Viggo[/name_m] and [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] from your boys. (You’ve also actually got my girls pets names on your suggestion - [name_f]Prudence[/name_f] and Lavinia!)

@Greyblue thank you! [name_u]Fern[/name_u] is lovely and one I go back and forward on. I do love [name_f]Sigrid[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Olwen[/name_f], [name_f]Zadie[/name_f] and [name_f]Rowenna[/name_f] (interesting variation on Rowena!) as well as [name_m]Victor[/name_m], [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m], [name_m]Orson[/name_m] and [name_m]Wystan[/name_m] for boys - such unusual and lovely choices.
