You have such a great list so it’s difficult to choose, but if I had to:

[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] - she’s just so bright and soft. She was one of my first loves and I’ll always have a soft spot for her

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] - it’s Biblical, which is always a plus, and he feels so warm and cozy, like a soft blanket.

[name_f]Beautiful[/name_f] names, [name_m]Theo[/name_m]! So hard to pick, but I’m gonna go with [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] - they just feel so authentically you!

[name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] – so underrated! I love the nn [name_f]Nell[/name_f] and its international appeal. It’s like a more grounded [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f].

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] – gentle with a great meaning. I also like the Biblical story

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites are:

[name_f]Claramae[/name_f] → [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is beautiful and [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is so charming and bright, and together, they have this musical, vintage, playful and joyous vibe - it feels at once cosy and breezy.

Shout out to [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] too :slight_smile:

[name_m]Rowan[/name_m] → warm, earthy and lovely, grounded but with plenty of whimsy too.

[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] was a close second :slight_smile:

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites from your list are [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and [name_m]Asher[/name_m]. They just have a happy and bright feel to them!

[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
I’m picking her because I think she’s really under-appreciated and I just adore her. She has a sharp, bouncy, quirky sound and I love the vintage vibes and the meaning- [name_f]Verity[/name_f] reminds me of old black and white movies and 50s hairdos, sleek, elegant, stylish, but also perfect for a talkative, curious little girl. (I also really love [name_f]Claramae[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], and [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] though, and on another day I might have picked one of them.)

[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m] is the epitome of a warm, comforting, lovable name for me. I get lovely tones of brown like wool and tree bark so he reminds me of autumn; wood fires, hot chocolate, forest walks, soft puppy ears…So cuddly and cozy! Plus, I know the sweetest [name_m]Asher[/name_m] who has curly brown hair and the longest eyelashes- he loves cooking and playing soccer- and he just makes me love the name! (By the way, his brother is Ezra!) Second place goes to [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] and [name_f]Sage[/name_f]!

aw [name_m]Theo[/name_m]! I’m so sorry you’re feeling uninspired; I love your names!
[name_f]Claramae[/name_f] - although just plain [name_f]Clara[/name_f] is the love of my life, the [name_f]Mae[/name_f] adds such an adorable whimsical cottagecore vibe!
[name_m]Rowan[/name_m] - such a sweet strong elegant name! A close friend (female) is named [name_m]Rowan[/name_m] so this name for either has a special place in my heart…

[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] – I’ve always thought this was such a lovely name. It’s elegant yet short and grounded, formal but friendly, and sweet but solid. I love that it fits any personality, it’s very versatile: she could be the down-to-earth girl next door or a royal princess. It also has such cute nickname options, I love [name_f]Lu[/name_f] and [name_f]Lulu[/name_f]. And the ‘light’ meaning is lovely. [name_f]Every[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] I’ve known has been so sweet and friendly and I feel like the name embodies this.

[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] – It was a close call between [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Levi[/name_m] for me. But I love Ezra’s gentle sound and the calm, nature-y vibes it has.

[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f]- I love the way this sounds! I’ve always liked Vs in names. Plus this name has personal meaning for me.

[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]- this name is just so cool! It makes me think of the [name_m]Colorado[/name_m] mountains for some reason lol.

[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and [name_f]Willow[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is a classic timeless name that just works, but it’s too popular. I love [name_f]Willow[/name_f] I think it’s beautiful.

[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] and [name_m]Jonah[/name_m], I really like [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], it’s short and funky but can also be seen as professional. Biased with [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] as we have used it.

Argh, well this was hard–you have too many lovely names on your list!!

[name_f]Claramae[/name_f] :womans_hat: ~ This is so stunning! I love a good smush name and both [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Mae[/name_f] are lovely, and so amazing together. I love the combined meaning of “bright pearl” and the vintage, storybook feel.

[name_f]Haven[/name_f] :dove: ~ [name_f]Haven[/name_f] on a boy has been growing on me so much lately! The meaning of a peacefully and safe place is such a lovely gift to bestow on a child. I love how I can picture him so easily both on a smiley little boy and a wise old man!

[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] is spunky and cute, it’s on my list of faves as well.
[name_m]Levi[/name_m] is also on my shortlist haha- such a great name. It’s obviously biblical but feels modern at the same time.
