Help[Opinions] A short list that is a bit all over the place :)
Replies
I like Ellery, Elsie, Mathilde, Emery, and Sam
Ellery - sounds like celery and there are prettier el- names.
Niamh - I wouldn't want to use if I was in a place where I would have to explain how to spell it all the time, but otherwise it is fine.
Elsie - a bit flimsy, incomplete sounding to me. I'd prefer as a nickname. Elise sounds more complete.
Sadie - cute. I like it, but it does tend to be seen as a dog name.
Mathilde - not a fan. Matilda is a little better.
Rosée - like alcohol, no.
Sumi - It could be okay in the right environment.
Emery - it's okay, but I'm not a big fan of unisex names, so I would prefer Emmy, Emma, or Emily
Henry - love it. It's very charming and classic.
Sam - I do think it needs a full name. Otherwise, it is just so blunt. I really like Samuel, but there are other names it could be short for, like Samson/Sampson.
Cameron - is fine
Greyson - I like the sound, but prefer the spelling Grayson
Tristan - it's fine

Ellery is nice. Not my favorite El- name (I like a lot of them), but pretty good. Reminds me of celery, but I love celery! Ellie is a cute, if not very original, nickname.
Niamh is so lovely. One of my favorite Irish names.
Elsie is adorable. Elizabeth "Elsie" and Elsa "Elsie" are great choices. I would probably use it.
Sadie is my dog's name! Also works great on a human. My dog's "full" name is Sarah; I love Sarah "Sadie"!
Mathilde is pretty nice, but I prefer Matilda and Tilly.
Rosée is wonderful. Rhymes with José. I prefer Rose, Rosie, and Rosa, but I like how unique, warm, and bubbly it is. It tastes of champagne.
Sumi is cute. I'm not sure where it's from, but I like the sound.
Emery is okay, but blends in with the surname trend and the Em- names, plus it doesn't have much substance. It also sounds so close to Emily, which is a fabulous name.
Henry is great. So strong, handsome, and timeless.
Sam is fine on a boy, but I actually prefer it on a girl. I love Samuel though, and don't much care for Samantha, so it seems my opinions are all over the place. My choice would be Psamathe "Sam" or Samara "Sam". Or for a boy, Samuel in full, and only his mates call him Sam.

Ellery- I don't usually like "surnames as first names" but this is ok. It has a happy sound to it.
Niamh - one of my favourite Irish names.
Elsie- prefer this as a nickname.
Sadie - a vintage gem
Mathilde - Ok but I prefer Matilda to the French Mathilde.
Rosée - it makes me think of wine. I don't care for it.
Sumi - it sounds like the phrase "sue me". Sumiko would be better.
Emery - it makes me think of emery boards to file your nails. I prefer Avery.
Niamh and Sadie are my favourite names on your girl list.
Henry - a classic
Sam - I prefer Samuel with Sam as a nickname.
Cameron - I'm not a fan of "Cam" so this isn't my favourite Scottish name.
Greyson - ok but I prefer the Grayson spelling.
Tristan - a "softer" boy name that I find attractive. My favourite boy name on your list.
Niamh - one of my favourite Irish names.
Elsie- prefer this as a nickname.
Sadie - a vintage gem

Ellery - as in Ellery Queen; I love vintage detective fiction, and haven't read any of theirs (two friends writing together) for ages. But I shall!
As a name, however, I'm not a fan.
Niamh (neev) - very pretty; one of the more accessible Irish names
Elsie - lovely nickname; not good enough to stand alone
Sadie - the cleaning lady! Vintage song this time. Not suitable; far prefer Sally.
Mathilde - pronunciation issues; prefer Matilda
Rosée - looks awful; more like rosé wine than French dew. ETA, anyone wanting a dewy daughter could consider Rosemary
Sumi - probably fine in its own environment, but pointless elsewhere
Emery - like the nail-filing Board? What nonsense!
Henry - drab classic; prefer Harry
Sam (does it need Samuel as a full name or does it work by itself?) - I really dislike Sam, Samuel, Samson and all their works.
Cameron "Cam" - pleasantly Scottish; good for a boy
Greyson - grey son? Who would want one? Perhaps it could work as a masculinisation of Grace, but not for me.
Tristan - becoming ordinary, which is good. Nice name, feeble romantic hero.

Ellery - Ok, just not my style
Niamh (neev) - Very pretty. Feels like a Celtic fairy name.
Elsie - Not my fav, but kind of growing on me.
Sadie - It's a no from me.
Mathilde - Love it. Mathilde is often on my favorite name's list.
Rosée - Fun fact, Rosée was used by French Canadians in the 19th century. Not often, but it existed. It's kind of cute, in French it means ''dew''. The only thing is I'd be too worried my kid would be teased because it sounds like rosée wine.
Sumi - Unfamiliar with the name.
Emery - Neutral
Henry - Love it. Classic and refined.
Sam (does it need Samuel as a full name or does it work by itself?) - I'm usually more in favor of giving a full name to a child instead of a nickname. In everyday life, the person can go by Sam and rarely use the full name, but might be better once they enter to job market to have Samuel on resumes and official stuff. Just my opinion.
Cameron "Cam" - It's ok, not my style.
Greyson - Again, not my style. I like it less than Cameron.
Tristan - Love it. It feels similar to Henry to me, timeless and handsome.
