For girls I like Willow and Sylvia, for a boy I like Edward, Tyler, Myles, Tyrese and Dragoslav, and my favourite unisex ones are Zephyr, Winter, Jessy and Kennedy. Most of these probably aren’t massively consonant heavy, but looking at my PNL these were the closest!

Not sure how consonant heavy they should be for this list.These are ones I truly like. I didn't want to just make a super long list of names to impress with my 'knowledge' because they would not be names I would actually ever choose for a child.

It is subjective as to how heavy a consonant should be for this list.
