[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] - No doubt one of my favorites! I just adore this name!!
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] - A childhood favorite of mine, and still dear to my heart!
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] 
I had to go with sweet [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]! I love how homey and simple [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] is. It’s a real comfort name for me. [name_f]Ruthie[/name_f] is absolutely darling, too!
[name_m]Jesse[/name_m] 
This is a new love of mine. I just find [name_m]Jesse[/name_m] so charming and kind. He’s a real rugged sweetheart. Kind of a cowboy name too, which my Texan heart loves!
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite from your girls list is the lovely Frances!! I may be a bit biased since this name is very common in my family tree, but I just think she’s so clunky-cute!! Not only is she wonderfully gender-neutral, but also is lovely and established. I also love the nn Frankie!!
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite from your boys list is Rudy!! I think he’s super handsome and boy-ish, while also working on a professional adult!! I think he sounds both rugged and polished at the same time!!
This bandwagon is so heartwarming and sweet 
You have such a lovely list! 
My favourites are Beatrice (Evangeline and Willa are my second favourites) and James (Tarka is very cool). Beatrice is so regal, golden and elegant. For some reason I always imagine a particular blond woman when I hear this name 
And James is very masculine, handsome and strong (James Bond and all the kings named James), but the nn opinions are so sweet (for example Jamie 
).
I always think Beatrice looks something like this
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] - i absolutely adore this name, i also like that it has the nickname betty, which is my late great grandmother’s name
[name_m]James[/name_m] - super simple and sweet
[name_f]Annie[/name_f] & [name_m]James[/name_m]!
[name_f]Greta[/name_f] - it’s so sweet and simple yet has a gentle strength, too. I enjoy its consonant-heavy sound and its Northern European feel.
[name_m]Jago[/name_m] - this is just super cool. I’d probably never consider it myself, but I’d love to encounter a young [name_m]Jago[/name_m] because it would just be fun to say!
[name_m]Tarka[/name_m] → earthy, rugged and distinctive - a stand out that makes me smile
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] → elegant and sleek, with a lovely meaning and a sound that rolls off the tongue
[name_f]Annie[/name_f]- Simple, but sweet!
[name_m]Jago[/name_m]- Sounds so fun, boyish, and playful. I love that it’s a little different but accessible/ easy to say and spell too.
[name_f]Willa[/name_f] or [name_f]Frances[/name_f] for girls and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] for boys!
beatrice & thomas
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite is [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] 
She’s just gorgeous! Really whimsical, enchanting, sweet and angelic with tons of cottagecore imagery attached. I love that you can have the nickname [name_f]Evie[/name_f] as she’s a favourite. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is beautiful.
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite is [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] 
@seawillow introduced me to [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] and now I’m really in love. [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] feels rugged, outdoorsy, wholesome and cosy. I think [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] is lovely! I also like [name_m]Shep[/name_m] as a nickname.
[name_f]Judith[/name_f] 
I dont think it is a secret on here that one of my all time favourite girls names is [name_f]Judith[/name_f]. A proper grown up name with just the right amount of vintage and an adorable nickname in [name_f]Judy[/name_f]!
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] 
Solid, classic and can’t really go wrong with a name like [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]!
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] & [name_m]James[/name_m] 
[name_f]Annie[/name_f]
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m]
[name_f]Annie[/name_f] - Something about it is just super cheerful and exciting, and it hits a nice sweet spot between retro and timeless. It’s also super useful as a potential nickname for a ton of different things.
[name_f]Harper[/name_f] - Very underrated for a boy, I’m glad to see someone else mention it! I find something endearing about more feminine names for boys in general, but [name_f]Harper[/name_f] is cool because it has sort of a tough edge to it with a similarity to names like [name_f]Harley[/name_f] and [name_f]Hadley[/name_f], but still feels sweet and down-to-earth overall.
[name_f]Judith[/name_f] – a classic very ripe for comeback, and “Judy” is just adorable. Honorary mentions to [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] and [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]
[name_m]James[/name_m] – so handsome and elegant. [name_f]Truly[/name_f] timeless. Honorary mentions to [name_m]Tarka[/name_m], [name_m]Ransom[/name_m], [name_m]Jesse[/name_m] and [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f] 
&
[name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] 
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] – no-frills while still distinctly feminine. [name_m]Classic[/name_m] with great nicknames!
[name_m]Thomas[/name_m] – classic with a variety of namesakes. Feels equally appropriate on kid or adult.
