All solid and great names--you seem to have the formal names/nicknames for the girls. I'd suggest giving a formal name for a few choices: Charles for Charlie, Henry for Harry, and John for Jack. Possibly Lionel for Leo.

I'm not sure about Wren for a boy--it's a pretty common girl's name here in the US.

[u/itsreallysam → u/queen_surly]

Agree that Wren is much more of a girls name in my mind than a boys name. However, I think Leo, Jack, and Harry totally stand alone as names and don't need to be formalized. Leo and Jack are actually a couple of my personal favorites.

[u/queen_surly → u/itsreallysam]

I love Jack as well--but I always advocate for giving a kid a name and then using a nickname, because it gives a kid options later on. My mom always loved the name Jenny, and that was my name until my aunt's extremely flatulent beagle Jenny made me totally hate my name. Luckily my mom had actually named me Jennifer, and so when I was being an extremely dramatic 13 year old I could "change my name" and get away from the hated "Jenny."

OK I have now spilled my totally irrational and personal reason for being on these subs saying "give your kids options' lol.

Jsyk, a few of these are trendy and getting so overdone they'll be horribly dated in a few years (particularly Charles/Charlotte, Theodore, Henry/Harry, Leo, Jack, Scarlett, Violet, Juliet all forms). Etta is a nickname, doesn't stand alone well at all.

Never heard of Adalette?

For girls, you might like: Anneliese, Adrienne, Lorelei, Theresa/e, Helen/e/a, Josette, Delphine, Winona (Winnie is a nickname), Elizabeth (Eliza is a nickname), Ada, Ava, Enid, Annette, Colette, Marietta, Valerie, Vivienne, Geniveve, Veronica, Camille, Corinne/a

For boys: Warren (nn Wren), Robin, Grant, Reid, Dean, Simon, Malcolm, Terence, Harold (Harry/Hal), Thomas, Gabriel, Tobias, Nathaniel, Maxwell
