Apologies if this gets a bit long, but I am getting so bored with my current name lists to the point where if I gave birth right now (I wish) I don't think I'd be able to give my baby a name I love 
.
I'll give you my current lists so you have an idea of my style and I would love some new suggestions or even just an over-haul of my combos, all of them feel so old and stale to me and I no longer have anything I truly love.
Let's start with the boys which I normally find so easy, but am suddenly struggling with.
For a long time my top three combos have been;
Ethan Joshua
Hayden Michael
Lucas William
I still like the 3 fn's but no longer really love them, they are all becoming v popular (not that that really bothers me if I'm in love with a name- my dd is Olivia after all) and I'm worried Hayden is going to the "chavs" (I'm not trying to be offensive here).
Other boys names I like are;
Noah - this is seriously rocketing up my list, I just can't find a Noah combo I love.
Oliver- truly adore this name but can't use for obvious reasons
Samuel- I love this but can't use it.
Zach- Another that's a fairly new entry on my list
Ryan
Jack
Alfie
Daniel
Connor
Callan
Elliott
Max (my nephew's name so off the table but it's just to give you a sense of my style)
Aidan
And a few I kinda like;
Dylan
Rhys
Liam
Jacob
I'd love to use a family name as a mn or even a 2nd mn if something else works better as 1st middle. Family names I'd want to use if poss;
Michael - my dad
Ian- my brother
Charles- my grandad's mn- Olivia's mn is Sydney which was my grandad's 1st name so feel this would be nice to tie their two names together
Quinn- family name
And now the girls (this is a lot shorter- promise)
I still an completely in love with my dd's name, but nothing else I find seems to match up or envoke the same feelings, that yes this is totally "the" name. My current top 5 is;
Niamh Isabella- I do sort of love Niamh, I'm just struggling to find a good nn (I know Nn's aren't important to some people but to me they are) Have considered Evie but worried this is too much of a stretch and will spend my life explaining it. I know it would be easier to get to Evie with the Neve sp but I don't like this at all.
Emilia Willow- This I do pretty much love, but I think most people will mis-prounounce/mis-spell Emilia and I don't know if I'm quite brave enough to use Willow.
Sophia Eden- One of my dd's bff's is Sophie and I don't get along with her mum at all so feel this one could cause tension in the playground.
Isla Kate
Carys Eden
Mn's I would want to use for girls to honour family members are;
Chloe- my niece
Eden- for my grandma Edna
Kate/Caitlin- for my bff and other grandma
Victoria- for my sister Vicky
Annelise- for my mum and a little bit for me
(my mum's mn is Ann and I'm Lisa but pretty much always called Lise)
That's it I'm done for girls.
So please ladies your help would be much appreciated in finding me a whole new list I can really start to love
