Well, you and I seem to have pretty similar tastes, especially with girl names (and, a bit of a warning: we tend to go against the grain of most of the Name Berries - Unisex/Masculine names on girls is not their thing!)

BOYS:

[name_m]Henry[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Huck[/name_m]) – My absolute fave. We’ll see if I can convince the husband. –[name_m]Henry[/name_m] is getting pretty popular in my area, but it’s still adorable. I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] the nickname [name_m]Huck[/name_m]!
[name_m]Huck[/name_m] (on its own) – I do prefer it as a nickname for [name_m]Henry[/name_m]. I have also seen it as a nn for [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m]. It’s cute on it’s own, too!
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] – I used to have this on my list, recently let it go. I still love it as a middle name option, though!
[name_u]Grady[/name_u] – Another name on my (extended) list. I think it’s adorable! I like a few ‘G’ names - Grader, [name_m]Gunner[/name_m], [name_m]Gannon[/name_m]
[name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] – [name_f]LOVE[/name_f]. So much better than the more trendy [name_u]Finley[/name_u]. [name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_u]Finn[/name_u] as a nn, although I prefer the proper name. This is one of my favorites on your list.
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] (nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u]) – This is a NB favorite, but it’s only been recently growing on me! I prefer [name_m]Thayer[/name_m] and [name_m]Topher[/name_m]
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] – The cartoon series has absolutely ruined this name for me. I liked it just fine before that!
[name_m]Hayes[/name_m] – Being a pretty big fan of surnames-as-first-names, I love this! It reminds me of one of my favorites, [name_u]Hollis[/name_u]
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] – This is another NB favorite that I’m just not loving yet
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] – This is great, and another favorite from your list. It makes a GREAT middle name - it flows well with so many different names!

Favorites: [name_m]Henry[/name_m], [name_m]Huck[/name_m], [name_u]Grady[/name_u], [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m], [name_m]Hayes[/name_m], [name_u]Everett[/name_u]

GIRLS: (These are more difficult and up in the air)

[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] – I love this, especially as a middle. It’s on my (extended) list. It goes along with my other ‘preppy boy’ names I like on girls, like [name_u]Spencer[/name_u] or [name_u]Sutton[/name_u].
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u] – Never been too big a fan of this. Possibly because of it’s association with the show [name_f]Daria[/name_f]?
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] – Not too sure how I feel about this yet, but I can see it inspiring quite nicknames like [name_f]Marra[/name_f] or even [name_f]Marnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] – Not a fan
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] – I love this! It’s my grandmother’s name as well! Also love [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] and [name_f]Maeva[/name_f]
[name_f]Greer[/name_f] – One of my favorite girl names, I prefer the spelling [name_f]Grier[/name_f]
[name_u]Connelly[/name_u] – Another of my favorites!
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] – This is pretty, although I do prefer the simpler [name_u]Ever[/name_u], which is on my short list
[name_u]Scout[/name_u] – Adorable!
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] – A newer addition to my list…I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] it! SO much better than the other ‘[name_f]Bella[/name_f]’ names!
[name_u]Waverly[/name_u] – Very cute, although not my favorite!
[name_f]Vada[/name_f] – [name_f]Love[/name_f] this (and [name_f]Vera[/name_f] as well)…and you can’t go wrong with the ‘My Girl’ association!
[name_u]Leighton[/name_u] – The only name here that I prefer on a boy! I don’t dislike it on a girl, though. You’re pronouncing it [name_m]Lay[/name_m]-ton, I assume?
[name_u]Campbell[/name_u] – Another masculine-ish surname! [name_f]Love[/name_f] it! [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]Collins[/name_u], [name_u]Carsen[/name_u], or [name_m]Callahan[/name_m]?
Corrigan – [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] it! I have a slight preference for Carrigan, though…although [name_f]Corri[/name_f] makes a cute nn.
[name_u]Hartley[/name_u] – Not a huge fan of this!

My favorites: [name_u]Elliott[/name_u], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Greer[/name_f], [name_u]Connelly[/name_u], [name_u]Bellamy[/name_u], Corrigan

@maevemilly thanks! I do like those two as a sibset.

@aggielou thanks for all of the suggestions!

I dig [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Hawk[/name_m]?), [name_u]Sutton[/name_u] (getting to trendy?), [name_u]Ever[/name_u]. A few others are great but can’t use due to friends with those names/ln’s.

[name_f]Glad[/name_f] I’m not the only one stuck in unisex/masculine girl name land. Can’t help myself!

[name_m]Henry[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Huck[/name_m]) – while I’m not a fan of the nn [name_m]Huck[/name_m], I adore [name_m]Henry[/name_m].
[name_m]Huck[/name_m] (on its own) - I like it better on it’s own but it’s not a name that I love
[name_m]Knox[/name_m] - still reminds me of the [name_f]Jolie[/name_f]-[name_m]Pitt[/name_m] son
[name_u]Grady[/name_u] - reminds me of gravy and greedy for some reason
[name_m]Finnegan[/name_m] - such a cool name
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] (nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u]) - I like [name_u]Theo[/name_u] on it’s own better than [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], but both make handsome choices
[name_m]Archer[/name_m] - great name as well
[name_m]Hayes[/name_m] - not really my style I suppose
[name_u]Arlo[/name_u] - it’s just has the right amount of uniqueness to it
[name_u]Everett[/name_u] - a very bold and masculine choice, it’s a nice name

[name_u]Elliott[/name_u] - sorry but I really dislike it on a girl
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u] - short and sweet
[name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] - I never really got the appeal but it’s a nice choice
[name_f]Margot[/name_f] - cute and vintage
[name_f]Mabel[/name_f] - I do like it, I would love to meet a little [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Greer[/name_f] - too unisex sounding for me too love it on a little girl
[name_u]Connelly[/name_u] - as above
[name_u]Everly[/name_u] - I don’t really know what I think about [name_u]Everly[/name_u] yet
[name_u]Scout[/name_u] - great literary name
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] - see [name_f]Greer[/name_f]
[name_u]Waverly[/name_u] - as above
[name_f]Vada[/name_f] - maybe a bit too close to Darth Vader
[name_u]Leighton[/name_u] - same as [name_f]Greer[/name_f]
[name_u]Campbell[/name_u] - as above
Corrigan - as above
[name_u]Hartley[/name_u] - as above

sorry for the many “as aboves”
