CONGRATULATIONS!! You have a really interesting collection of names! Here are my thoughts:
Clementine - 9/10! I LOVE this name!!! It works BEAUTIFULLY for any age, has an EXQUISITE meaning and sounds sweet but classy! It would be a perfect 10 except that I hate the nickname Clemy and don't know what other nicknames really work??
Rapunzel - 4/10. Although this is a very romantic name I'm afraid that the teasing potential would be IMMENSE!!
Amaryllis - 10/10! LOVE IT!!! Perfect in every way: meaning, feel, sound, works well for any age, GORGEOUS nicknames!!
Amoret - 6/10. I wish I could love this name because it fits my style in a lot of ways but to me it sounds like a word rather than a name I'm afraid! Would you consider the delightful Amabel?
Ariadne - 4/10. A little too awkward for my taste, sorry.
Philomela - 6/10. Quite pretty but I LOVE Philomena SO much that Philomela just sounds slightly wrong for me, sorry!
Atalanta - 3/10. Sounds like a place not a name to me, sorry.
Calixta - 3/10. Would make a FABULOUS Perfume name, but just not my style, sorry!
Calliope - 9/10!! I LOVE this name!! Gorgeous in every way except that I can't picture it on a Baby so well. I LOVE Callie for a Baby though!
Rayne - 6/10. For me this is a gorgeous Second Name only as I prefer "frillier" First Names!
I'll do the Boys later! Please forgive me if I've been too blunt or said anything which hurt your feelings!

I'm back to do the Boys!
Phoenix - 8/10. This is a fabulous name which looks and sounds great!!
Blaze - 6/10. Unfortunately my eldest Daughter's love of the Sonic character Blaze makes it difficult for me to think of anything other than a purple cat with this name, but I think if I hadn't heard of her then I would find it quite a groovy name for a Boy!
Chance - 6/10. Not really my style but quite cool.
Chase - 6/10. Not really my style but quite cool.
Nate - 5/10. Unfortunately I really don't like nicknames as full names. I try to imagine situations like Job Interviews etc and find I prefer people to always have a Full Name option.
Will - 5/10. Same as Nate.
James - 9/10. A FABULOUS name which works brilliantly for any age and sounds gorgeous and sophisticated but not snobbish! If it had a nicer meaning I'd give it a 10/10!
Edward - 10/10!! PERFECT in EVERY way!!
Heathcliff - 9/10! What a GREAT name! Romantic and something I haven't considered before! I REALLY LOVE it!!
Cameron - 7/10. A nice name but just not my style, sorry!
Wow! I really enjoyed exploring your Names, thank you!! My 3 Favourites for each gender are:
Amaryllis
Clementine
Calliope
Edward
Heathcliff
James
God bless and all the very best!

Thanks x
I was thinking, for Clementine I could use the nicknames Mena, Tina, Cleo, or Emma/Emmy.
I think it's my fave for girls x
Also, what do you think of Nathaniel, nickname Nate?

Thank you! You've been so much help cx we're pretty much decided on Clementine Azalea for a girl (I adore flower names and it's a little more unique than Rose or Lavender etc) or Nathaniel Edward for a boy x we have a short surname so the long names fit very well x
