I've been looking through baby names and I'm feeling uncertain. I know there are a lot of trendy names and unique names out there, but I like a lot of classic names too. I don't want my child to have the same name as everyone their age, but I don't want to give them a wild obscure name either.

I also desperately want a name that can have a cute nickname but a lot of my favorite names so far are lacking that quality. (I do love the concept of a classic first name with an untraditional nn)

My favorites so far:
Boys
- Rowan
- Adam
- Felix
- Rory
- Elliot
- Xavier

Girls
- Aurora nn Rory
- Noella
- Hadley
- Matilda nn Mattie
- Angelina nn Annie
- Penelope

I think Felix is a great classic boys name!

As is Matilda for a girl and Penelope. Penelope also does have many nickname options! There's Penny, Poppy, Nelly/Nell, Lola, Pippa, Polly, Pepper, Piper or Posy.
