    Arthur- Love! Best on your list!

  • Will - You mean William? It's okay, not my favorite with your last name.
    Arthur - Good
    Eddie/Edward - Edward is good
    Dalton - Enh.
    Charles - Good
    Ralph - Enh. 

    Lottie - Enh
    Bea - I like it
    Cora - I like Cora, but I personally find it odd to pass of a name that is your own middle name as well. Grandma does trump though.
    Juno - I like it
    Charlie - God no.
    Jamie - No.

  • Thank you, Arthur was only a contender from last night, I think it sounds really strong!
  • Ah. Forgot suggestions.

    Corrine 
    Charlotte
    Sylvia
    Harriet
    Minerva
    Isolde
    Zelda
  • Charlotte is lovely too, Thank you for taking the time out to do that :)
  • Prefer Jamie and Charlie on a boy.
    All your other names are nice. I love Cora, it's your best girl name option.
    Like previously suggested Sylvia too.

  • From your boy names, my favorites are:
    Arthur
    Edward
    Charles

    From your girl names, I feel like Cora is the only one that "fits" with the same style. Unless, as others have said, you use Lottie as nickname for Charlotte and maybe even Bea as nickname for Beatrice. Heck, even Charlie could be a nn for Charlotte. I think that's a great name (although extremely popular at the moment).

    Other suggestions:
    Abigail
    Alison
    Claire
    Coraline (slight alteration of Cora so it's not weird to give her your middle name?)
    Edith
    Emma
    Gabrielle or Gabriela
    Jacqueline (Jackie, similar to Jamie?)
    Julia (similar to Juno?) or Julie (similar to Jamie?)
    Leanne
    Leslie
    Madeleine
    Mina (Wilhelmina if you want to go wild, could also be Willie, I had a friend with this name in school) 
    Natalie

    Good news is, I'd say just about any "classic" name sounds great with your surname.

  • Yeah my girls side is seriously lacking! I like Edith, mina's nice too, Wilhelmina might be a step too far;) thank you

    Charles and Cora
  • Boys: I love Arthur, Charles, and Edward.  Girls: I love Cora.  Most of your other girl names feel incomplete, like they are nicknames and not formal names.

    Suggestions
    Boys: Asher, Daniel, Nathaniel, Phillip, Samuel
    Girls: Audrey, Camille, Charlotte, Eliza, Eloise, Jillian, Julia, Lauren, Victoria

  • My favorites from your lists are Ralph and Cora. Ralph is such a great, underused name but it's not so obscure that people haven't heard of it. I would love to see it used! Cora is just beautiful . . . simple, feminine, timeless. The fact that it is a family name honoring your granny is the icing on the cake. 

    Going (sort of) from your list, I'd suggest: Ralph Edward Wright or Cora Beatrice Wright.
    It's a boy! Born 42 weeks, 2 days.
