I don't really like any of the girls names.But I would probably prefer Priya Rosalind since Priya has a lovely meaning. I really dislike Rosalind though. It is way too corny if you ask me, plus it doesn't really match the Indian Priya.Romilly looks made up, sorry. Also way too cute together with Poppy. I just can't think of a grown Romilly Poppy. Plus, I think the double -y ending gives the combo a bad sounding.Of the boys names I can't really decide in between Rowan and Elliot James. I prefer Elliot, but they both match with James and have a nice sound together.

Romilly Poppy for a girl, even though I don't really like the flow of it. For a boy I would go with Gabriel James, as I love the name Gabriel.

Priya Rosalind & Rafferty JamesI use to like Romilly, now is just sounds mumbley to me. It could still be ok, just not with Poppy. Romilly Priya? All the boys are nice. Rowan is my second choice, but Rafferty is just so cool and you don't see it often

The girl name was hard because a) I liked them both and b) they both had the same issue - I had no idea how to say the first name! I would stumble over both Priya and Romilly. Ususally when I'm stumped between equally nice names, the ease of pronunciation acts as a handy tie-breaker, but that didn't work at all here.I think in the end I find Priya Rosalind prettier and less expected. I'm going strictly by aesthetics.I love Rafferty James. Rafferty is just so much FUN.Oh wait, Rafferty and Priya? Hmm. Rafferty and Romilly YES adorble. But Priya and Rafferty are ridiculous together, too much is happening, it's like a British East Indies gong show, can't do it. Therefore and ergo, Priya and Rowan. No. Priya and Elliot. Yes. ok. Much better.

I like Gabriel James best of the boys.I prefer Priya Rosalind but really Rosalind is the only of the bunc h I like. Priya reminds me of "prion" and Romilly Poppy sounds very cheesy.

Priya Rosalind. Just because I hate Romilly. I'm not sure about Priya, I think it could grow on me.Gabriel James. Gabriel is one of my all time favourites.

Rafferty James because Rafferty is so stinkin' awesome. It is handsome and sturdy, with a hint of pretentious and nerdy. ALl of the things I love. Plus it has the great nickname options Raff and Raffer and Raft. Romilly Poppy. It doesn't flow that well, but Romilly is spunky and exciting.

Romilly Poppy and Rowan James
I find Priya to be far too Indian sounding.
I like all of the boys names - especially Rowan and Elliot (which I adore). I like the sound and flow of Rowan James more than Elliot James though, but you can't really go wrong with any of the boys options.

Priya RosalindRomilly and Poppy are both pretty but a little sickly sweet together. Also the double -y endings don't mesh too well. Priya Rosalind, however, is very pretty but the strong -ind in Rosalind allows it to steer clear of being too sweet. Gabriel JamesI actually like all your male combos. So I plucked Gabriel James as Gabriel is a name I've been growing a liking to lately. No other reason, sorry, they're all nice.

Priya Rosalind for the girl. I think the name sounds beautiful. I like Romilly Poppy but the double -y ending is a little redundant and youthful for my taste. If there was a different middle with Romilly, it might be my first choice. Rafferty James and Elliot James are my top picks. Gabriel James has two very common names together, and I'd be afraid there would be a couple in the class with the same names. Rowan is a nice name, but becoming too unisex for my tastes.

For me, the boy name is an easy pick: Rowan James. I love the name Rowan for a boy. It's one of my absolute favorites. I don't like the name James, never have, but all the middle names are James, so such is life. It sounds nice together in any case.
All the boys names are lovely.As for the girl name,... I like the names Romilly and Poppy but they don't flow well together. Priya is pretty cool but I really don't like the name Rosalind. It does flow very well though. My vote goes for Priya Rosalind, I guess. :)
The flow is what sways me. I just can't get over how Romilly Poppy sounds. It sounds redundant and it bothers me. Priya is a wonderful name. It's great with the middle name Rosalind because it sounds nice.

Priya Rosalind Romilly Poppy feels really juvenile and little girl-y to me.Rowan James or Elliot James I think they're all quite nice, but these two are my favourites.
