For the boy:

Winston
Isaac
Horace
Theodore "Teddy"
Quentin

She will, won't she? And I find two difficult enough! I'll be sure to keep you guys posted. Congrats on your new little man, gorgeous name, and I bet he's gorgeous with it! :)
Jemima Clementine and Isaac Montgomery are both stunning! Xx

Lorelei "Lori" - I like Lorelei but Lori kind of ruins it for me. It just screams middle-aged!
Wilhelmina "Billie" - I love Wilhelmina but not Billie as a nickname.
Clementine "Clem" - Clementine is cute. Clem isn't my favorite nickname. (See a trend? haha)
Jemima "Jem" - Jemima isn't a favorite because of associations that don't matter in England. Jem as a nn cheapens this name, imo.
January - Nope. Don't like it. Don't like January Jones either.
Azalea - It's kind interesting. I'm on the verge of liking it :)
Caroline - I like it :D But I was under the impression that it's terribly unstylish and dated in the UK.
Cosima - It's cool but just makes me think of Orphan Black and whatever disease the Cosima on that show has.
For the boy:
Jerome - it's an odd, unattractive name.
Albert - according to mumsnet this is getting trendy?
Montgomery "Monty" - sounds like a pervy old man.
Bartholomew "BartL - Bartl reminds me of Bartleby the Scrivener. I don't care for the name or the nn.
Winston - humorous.
Isaac - nice
Horace - Wow. I never thought I'd see someone wanting to name their child Horace!! It sounds kind of evil.
Theodore "Teddy"- Nice
Wilhelmina "Billie" - I love Wilhelmina but not Billie as a nickname.

Lorelei is the only girls' name on the list that I can say I like even a bit. Wilhelmina is kind of fun but Billie is so Dust-Bowl.
Gregory, Vincent, Isaac, or Theodore, in that order. (Not Wilhelmina and Theodore unless she likes Bill and Ted jokes.)

You're right, we live in jolly old England! Those are my favourites too :) I think if it was girl/girl twins Jemima and January would be AWESOME. Xx

Why not January for a boy? The only time I've heard January is once and that was on a boy. Cos Jemima and January IS awesome :)

I never thought of that before! That's so cool :) xx

I would love to see
Adam & Alice
Adam & Elizabeth
Daniel & Alice
David & Elizabeth
Gabriel & Anna
Gabriel & Anne
Jonathan & Anna

Maybe Nathaniel as the middle name.
