    Augusta: No...it just sounds like an ugly name to me & too masculine like Augustus.
    Jane: Plain jane. Overused.
    Louisa: Too old fashioned for my taste
    Georgia: I like
    Nell: Never heard of this but has potential
    Sylvia: too old fashioned
    Annemet: Why not just spell it Anne-May? I would mispronounce that for sure
    Hadley: LOVE. My favorite on your list.
    Aoife: Be prepared for mispronunciations. I pronounce this as Effie, right? So why not spell it like that?

    Boys:
    Jack: love!
    Arthur: Love
    Calhoun (Cal): I like Callum as a better way to get Cal but Calhoun is nice too
    Harry: Prefer Henry
    David: Okay
    Eaton: I like Easton as an alternative
    Red: How about Reid instead? or Reed?

    Good luck!

    Girls:

    Augusta - Oh, I love this! It's in my top ten too, I just find it so gorgeous and sturdy (rather than frilly, which I hate).
    Jane - Love. Can't go wrong with Jane.
    Louisa - I like it, but not as much as Augusta or Jane.
    Georgia - I like it.
    Nell - Beautiful but I've always felt it needed a longer name. Penelope have any appeal for you?
    Sylvia - Pretty
    Annemet (pronounced Anne-may) - I like the sound but not the spelling. I think I would prefer Anna Mae, had a neighbor named this. But either way it sounds like the word anime.
    Hadley - Don't like it with your other girls' names. Everything else is beautiful and classic whereas Hadley is just a trendy mess.
    Aoife - I've never EVER seen the appeal for this name, I think it has the most unattractive sound. Eva would be nicer and less difficult for Americans to spell/pronounce (if you live in the US like I do).

    Boys:

    Jack - Love, but so popular.
    Arthur - LOVE
    Calhoun (Cal) - Oh gosh I love Calhoun so much. So dashing.
    Harry - Hmm, I just think Harry Potter or the word Hairy. How about Henry?
    David - Nice, one of my favorite classic boys' names.
    Eaton - Eaten what? Prefer Easton slightly, but this falls in the same category as Hadley for me.
    Red - Love as a nickname, but would prefer it with full name Redmond or Frederick NN Red.

    HTH!
    Currently Loving:
    ♥ August, Henry, Dodge, Revere
    ♥ Mabel, Lilith, Leona, Avis, Zelda

    Annemet- I'd pronounce it "annie-met" and Anne-May is odd, why not Anna Mae?
    Aoife- Will be constantly mispronounced

    Calhoun- So how are you pronouncing this? "Cal-hoon" does not sound good, maybe OK as a mn
    Eaton- Prefer Seton

    I'm so confused about Annemet - where does that come from? I don't like it, anyway - it will be a nightmare for mispronunciation goes, and it sounds like anime.

    Aoife - okay, I'm going to say it and hope I don't offend anyone; visually, it reminds me of 'oaf', and I don't think it works outside Ireland.

    Hadley - sounds like a bunch of rocks banging around in a sack. My (no doubt unpopular) opinion, sorry.

    The rest are quite lovely - I could see Georgia, Louisa and Nell being sisters! (Really love Nell).

    Jane - I think it's cute!
    Louisa - It's ok.
    Georgia - Not bad.
    Nell - Too short.. I feel like this should be a nn for something.
    Sylvia - NMS.
    Annemet (pronounced Anne-may) - Too confusing.
    Hadley - Meh.
    Aoife - Nice, but you may get pronunciation problems if you're in the US.

    Boys:

    Jack - Not bad.
    Arthur - NMS.
    Calhoun (Cal) - Prefer other "Cal" names - Callum, Calvin, Caleb.
    Harry - Don't like.
    David - I like it but I'm biased since it's my dad's name.
    Eaton - Don't like.. prefer Easton.
    Red - Don't like. Maybe as a nn.

    Augusta - In theory I really like this name, I just think in practice it could be a bit too much.
    Jane - It's a sweet name, but people always think my name is Jane (it's Jade) when I introduce myself so I have some hostility.
    Louisa - Love love love Louisa!
    Georgia - Such a sweet little name that I think ages really well.
    Nell - A bit bland for me. Would make a great NN though.
    Sylvia - Love this name so much.
    Annemet - Um, not a fan. All I hear when I say it is "anime" and the pronunciation/spelling is just asking for issues.
    Hadley - A bit masculine for me.
    Aoife - Love this name. Could pose the same problems as Annemet, but if you are up for it I'd say go for it!

    Boys:

    Jack - It's a nice name and I don't have anything against, but I don't have anything for it either.
    Arthur - Love this. And Artie is such an awesome NN.
    Calhoun (Cal) - Love this so much! Cal has long been a favorite, but I have never liked Calvin or Caleb much. Calhoun is a great option.
    Harry - Love.
    David - Love this one too.
    Eaton - All I see is "eating"
    Red - Would make a great NN, not sure about a full name though. Redmond NN Red? Rooney?

    Girls:

    Augusta -- Pretty and elegant! I love it and I prefer the nn Auggie on a girl anyway
    Jane -- simple and pretty
    Louisa -- I like it!
    Georgia -- eh I've never liked it
    Nell -- Prefer it as a nn but I do love it
    Sylvia -- So pretty! I slightly prefer Sylvana
    Annemet (pronounced Anne-may) -- I wouldn't have gotten that pronunciation. I would have tried to say Ahn-eh-met which honestly, i like better than Anne-May.
    Hadley -- Never liked
    Aoife -- I love it! I don't think a lot of people will understand how to pronounce this or spell it though

    Boys:

    Jack -- I've loved this name forever! Handsome and strong
    Arthur -- I love the mythology behind this! So handsome
    Calhoun (Cal) -- Dislike. I think it has a neat sound, but I don't like it
    Harry -- Every name paired with this makes me think someone is Hairy. "Harry Nathaniel...Nathaniel is Hairy?"
    David -- bland
    Eaton -- Did you mean Easton? Other wise "eaten what?" I really like Easton though!
    Red -- meh...
