6. Dahlia
7. Lana
8. Eris
9. Safira
10. Morgana

Hmm, this is “our” top 10 since my partner and I discuss names so much that I can’t honestly say what “my” top 10 would be without his input. There are names I loved that he vetoed, but the only one I’m still clinging on to is Genevieve, usually I only truly love a name when he loves it too!

GIRLS
1. Claudie
2. Penelope nn Nell
3. Aria
4. Mirabelle nn Mira
5. Phoebe nn Bea
6. Ivy
7. Genevieve nn Ginny
8. Tabitha nn Tibby
9. Indigo nn Indi
10. Anneliese nn Annie

I could easily have gone over 10 there, in fact there were 9 names I was choosing between to be no 10!

BOYS
1. Emrys (a Welsh name, which I really want for my first son since we are both Welsh and I just adore it)
2. Otto
3. Harlan nn Hal
4. Lennox
5. Rafferty
6. Sullivan nn Sully/Van
7. Wyatt
8. Quentin
9. Braith (another Welsh name)
10. Teifryn (TAVE-rin, another Welsh name)

I’d say for the most part our boys names are probably more unusual than our girls names! Quite a few of our girls names are popular or steadily rising in the UK, particularly Phoebe, Ivy, Penelope and Tabitha.

We have more girls names we love than boys names though, I’d say the top 4 boys names are our core favourites, and the rest we just like, but it was a struggle to get to 10 and the last two are maybes! I’d use all the girls names though, and at least 8 others!

Real #1 is obviously my daughter: Wellsley Michae (fam mn pro. mckay)
1. England Mariana (fam name)
2. Fleming Georgeanna (fam name)
3. Channing Bridges (fam name)
4. Lindall (fam name) Florentine
5. Auburn (fam name) Crandall (fam name)
6. Sabine
7. Saskia
8. Cagney
9. Crimson
10. Inga

My son: Grantson Metz (fam mn)
1. Jessup (fam name) Maverick
2. Gainer Bridges (both family names)
3. Taos Buchan (family name)
4. Calder (fam name) Hemingway (fave author)
5. Riordan Michael (fam name)
6. Roark (character) Hawthorne (author)
7. Lev Warren (fam name)
8. Crandall (fam name) Hart
9. Gallagher
10. Callahan

Don’t currently have ten combos for my boy list!

Boys-
Miles (Loved it so much I used it for my son’s name)
Sam (Have loved it since I was a kid, but couldn’t use it because of a childhood dog named “Sammy”)
Oliver (Loved this one, but wife hated it, so we compromised and named our pug Oliver instead)
Elliott (Still a top contender for me if we had another boy)
Owen (My other favorite, next to Elliott, for a future son)
Jude (Love the Beatles connection, wife knew a junkie with this name, so it’s out)
Holden- (Like it a lot, but worry it’s the new “Harper”)
Jasper- (My wife says it’s out because it reminds her of hamburgers. Really??)
Ezra- (She knew another junkie- this one named Ezra. I think she knows too many junkies)
Grey- (Simple, classic, understated. There’s a lot to love here, though I might use it as a middle name instead)

Girls-
Savannah (Never would have picked this, but our daughter’s birth mother did, and we love the nickname Savvy. It’s grown on us.)
Harper (We picked this as our daughter’s middle name 5 five years ago since it represented both my favorite book and “our song” by Ben Harper)
Zahara (I don’t love that this name is irrevocably linked to the Jolie-Pitts, but I do think it goes well with Savannah)
Penelope (I love this name- though I struggle with the best nickname. Elle? Penny?)
Genevieve (Another name love- but the wife thinks it’s “too French”)
Geneva (Seems like the “less French” compromise to Genevieve… and great in its own right)
Phoebe (Loved it so much we used it for our dog. Now I regret that decision. It would be awesome on a kid)
Cora (Love the name on its own but wonder if it should be the nickname to a longer version—Coralie? Coraline?)
India (This was my favorite name before we became parents, but the wife vetoed it. Oh well…)
Zoe (Another great name ruined by a dog- this time my wife’s sister’s pup. Still love the name, though)

Wow, this was harder than I thought it would be!! THe ones with stars next to them have already been vetoed due to popularity or a family member/friend/famous person using it:
