Seth- nice Silas- nice Jack- good Darius (Darius as the middle name)- don't like Raffael- it's lovely spelt Raphael but I have never seen this spelling, only Raphael and Rafael, which I don't like either Theodore (or just Theo)- Theodore is great and Theo fine as a nickname but I don't like just Theo Scarlet- lovely, but I'd spell it Scarlett Poppy- nice Abigail- good Eva- gorgeous Matilda (Tilly for short)- lovely Charlotte- nice I'd go with Eva and Theodore. What about: Elias Tobias Rafferty Elliot Hamish Oliver Patrick Harrison Henry Lewis Seamus Alistair Madeleine Emmeline Amelia Tabitha Hannah Harriet Imogen Heidi Lucinda Celeste Stella Annabelle or Annabella Pippa

By Caucasian surname, may I assume that you mean Russian (being from Caucasus)? From your list, my choices are Theodore (nn Theo) and Eva as well. Theo is one of my all time favorite names (I also love Rafael). BBB & kerilyntaryn have some fantastic suggestions. I especially love Alistair, Genevieve, and Celeste. Good luck with your decision.

Methinks you should google what 'Caucasian' actually means, OP. I like most of the names on your list to varying degrees. Rafael is my son's name, so of course my favourite, but I also really like Theodore, Darius and Silas are cool too. From the girl list none are bad, but Eva would probably be my favourite. I've always liked Charlotte too but prefer it as a middle name.

Love your style OP!! Girls names are BEAUTIFUL.. My picks are a close Matilda and Poppy! Boys is close but Theodore trumps all than you can just use Theo for short Best of luck choosing!

Seth - Nothing wrong with it but I find it insubstantial and a bit dull. Silas - I love this. Jack - I like Jack fine as a nickname but I'm the last living stick-in-the-mud who insists its a nickname for John or Jacob, both of which would be VERY handsome with Darius. Raffael - I really like Raphael and Rafael. The two f's read as confusing, a bit. I ADORE both forms, its a great name with a nice meaning. Theodore - I just don't like it, there's nothing terrible about it though. John Darius or Rafael Darius are both great. If you want to use Silas I would probably go with Silas John. Scarlet - Prefer Violet or Juliet. Poppy - I find poppies fairly morbid flowers. But as a nickname for Penelope or similar its kind of cute. Abigail - I love this but I think its quite popular. Eva - Just not my style, a bit dull. Eve is a bit stronger-sounding somehow. Matilda (Tilly for short) - Nice, like. Charlotte - Pleasant, very popular. Suggestions: Violet, Juliet, Penelope, Hannah, Alannah, Aviva, Tallulah, Clotilde, Cordelia, Catherine.
