Wilhelmina and Theodore nicknamed Willa and Teddy would be awesome.

For the girl, Caroline and Jemima stand out for me; whichever one comes first, the mix is splendid. Quentin does spring to mind for the boy, perhaps in combination with Theodore. If not, then Albert Gregory or Gregory Albert.I hope she'll avoid January, Lorelei, Horace and Floyd.

Ooh, Quentin Theodore sounds gorgeous :) Horace is an odd one, I'll have to ask her about that! 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

Caroline is an awesome name :D It is pretty underused and dated here, but that doesn't change it being lovely!
I don't really get Horace either :/ Or Jerome. Or Roman. But what happens on the message board stays on the message board! Lol.Xx

Ooh, I'll tell her about Tolly, that's quite cool! :) She also loves Willa; she did mention using Willa as a fn and then Billie as a nn. Xx

I like Caroline and Cosima from the girls list. Especially Cosima. From the boys list the only name I like is Isaac. Theodore isn't bad actually and neither is Roman. But Roman makes me think of a video game or something.

I think Caroline and Cosima are gorgeous too! :)

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.)

If you're not in the US, and I think you're not, I love Jemima for a girl. Second choice would be January, which I really like as a personal name, it's so clear and crisp. For a boy, totally Quentin. It's one of my two favorite boy names. Second choice would be Winston, which I really like.

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 :)

Thanks for the response :) I showed her your list, and she loves it! I think you may have altered her own list slightly, especially with Alice, Elizabeth and Gabriel! Xx
