girls names are:
Evie- lovely, but I definitely prefer it as a nickname only to Eva, Eve or even Genevieve
Ivy- lovely
Tiffany- I've never liked it
Camille- very nice
Charlize- really dislike
Jasmine- ok
Lexie- cute, but I see this as a nickname only to Alexandra, Alexis etc
Daisy- nice
Lena- ok, but not too keen
Ruby- lovely
Piper- ok
Tallulah- lovely
Niharika- never seen this before but can't say I like it
Karera- same as above
Boys names are:
Tyson- really dislike
Jasper- lovely
Stanley- ok
Franklin- ok, but a bit goofy
Miles- very nice
Dashiell- nice
Raphael- lovely
I would choose from Ivy, Ruby and Tallulah for a girl and Raphael and Jasper are my favourites for a boy. I think I'd lean towards Tallulah and Raphael for a baby of that appearance though.

Girls ones I like
Ivy
Camille
Lena
Ruby
Piper
Boys names
Dashiell
Raphael
Miles
Your boys' list is funny, I LOVE these 100% and the others are extremely going the other way, no offense.
The girls' names are less extreme reactions, mostly. Like many are nice with fewer loves or hates. I quite like these though.

Evie - Not too bad, but I do think of the song.
Ivy - Very nice.
Tiffany - 80s Bogan
Camille - I don't think it's very 'pretty'.
Charlize - Okay, but NMS
Jasmine - Pretty
Lexie - Sounds like it should be short for something
Daisy - I think of Daisy the Cow
Lena - Don't mind it
Ruby - Way to common
Piper - Not very pretty
Tallulah - NMS
niharika - Different, but people might have problems pronouncing it.
karera - Sounds like a car.
Boys names are
Tyson - Bogan
Jasper - Quite like this
Stanley - Reminds me of one of my old teachers, don't think fondly of it
Franklin - The turtle from the cartoon
Miles - Love this
Dashiell - Love this one too
Raphael - Nice, like Raffa for a nickname

Me too!
What diverse reactions you are getting here!
I also like Lexie, Piper and Jasmine (though I know a beautiful mixed race Chinese/Western Gypsy girl with this name and it fits so perfectly its hard to imagine on anyone else!)
For boys I can't get past the Mike association for Tyson
Raphael I love, but it could be a difficult name to wear, and I prefer the nn "Rafe"
Dashiel could be cool, love the nn "Dash" too.
Good luck! And hope everything goes wonderfully well for you!

I like Camille, Lena, Evie, and Karera for girls' names, but only Miles for a boy.
Maybe try and convince DP to use Stanley as a middle name or, if that doesn't work, maybe play that Eminem song over and over until he gets a bad association?
I think Miles Franklin is a good name combination (lol).

Evie for a girl
I have an Evelyn (we call her Evie from time to time).
I also have a Tiffany and my little girl really suits it and we love it (she has curly blonde hair, blue eyes & big smile). Not sure if it would suit Indian as much.

do you think the appearence of the baby should influence the name for example if the baby is very dark with dark curly hair,,,which i suspect will be the case..do u think some of the names on my list are too...for lack of a better way to say.."white girl" names...my little sister seems to think so....

Evie: very sweet
Ivy: ok but NMS

I love Daisy and Lena from your list.
I used to know a German piano player called Lena. She was just beautiful and talented. So maybe I am biased.Also quite like Jasmine
Boys is harder.
I do like Miles. But Raphael is outstanding. Very nice
