When Evelyn Waugh was married to Evelyn Gardner, the Mitfords used to call them girl Evelyn and boy Evelyn.

Love Genevieve but don’t want her to be a Jen.
Audrey is quite popular but Aubrey is a slightly less common variation that I was toying with.
I never knew Hero was a name, except for the Japanese name.
Salome would be Salami here in Australia, 100%

My other half has just pointed out that “Imogen” is not massively attractive when pronounced with a kiwi accent ... it’s a fair point.

If you like Shakespearean names, how about Miranda, Helena, Nerissa, Emilia, Beatrice, Celia or Eleanor?

Helena possibly also out for similar reasons and also close to my sons name.
Not quite Celia but we were thinking possibly Celeste.

You should download the BabyName app.
You and your partner each download it and you swipe left for no and right for yes like one of those dating apps. You then sync them and it lets you know the names you both said yes to.
Apart from anything some of the "names" are hilarious.

Thanks Diablo. Sounds like the Kinder app but may have a bit more to choose from.

Don't let popularity worry you. Names wax and wane, it just doesn't matter

Its largely a gimmick but provides a quick way of finding mutually acceptable names which you may not have both thought of. Largely it is just for fun.
