Stella Rose is nice. :) Also Felicity Anne. - I quite like these.

These are my faves of your suggestions - Isabel Joyce/Rosemary Joy/Rosina May/Ruby Maria/Stella Jean/Vera Joy.

Claire/Elizabeth/Grace/Jane - Can't use these as they are related to a ex of my boyfriends in some way.

Amelia - My daughter is called Amy named after an Amelia so it's out.

Ariana/Moira/Ruth/Irene/Cecily/Josephine/Miriam/Rebecca/Juno/Diane/Melinda/Daphne - NMS.

Rowan - I don't like Unisex names.

Catherine - I like but I have a friend called Catherine.

Ruby Jean - I love this one but would be a bit strange as Ruby is a family name and Jean is her daughter.
Cassandra - I like but I don't think my boyfriend will go for it.

Naomi - it's nice but I have a friend who's got a daughter Naomi.

Vera Nell - Feels incomplete.

I would actually give a kid family/friend names as middle names specifically because they were family/friend names (so long as I liked the names), but okay.

Since you don't like unisex names, I guess Jean wouldn't work anyway, since it can be a boy's name too.

Glad you liked some of my suggestions!

I don't mind using family/friend names i just wouldn't use a name of someone I see all the time it wouldn't feel right to me.

I never knew Jean was a unisex name. I like Jean though as it's a family name.

It's pronounced differently for males. More like Zhawn? (It's French.) But it's spelled exactly the same. And there's a masculine name pronounced the same as Jean for a girl: Gene. Like Gene Kelly. Usually sort for Eugene, I think.

I'v heard of Eugene/Gene as really far back in my boyfriends family tree they came from France so I seen quite a few of them. That being said I never knew it was similar to Jean.

Gene and Jean are unrelated as far as I know; it's just that they are pronounced exactly the same.

It's Jean, the French form of John, that's spelled the same (and also related).

That's interesting.

If Jean is French form of John I can't use anyway then as my son's first MN is John.

John is one of those names that's ended up with sooooo many forms across languages and cultures. Jane, Janet, Ian, and Ivan are also forms of John. You can see a list of them here: http://www.behindthename.com/name/john/related
