Well it would probably be different when I actually have kids but I've always liked these for baby names:

Boy: Sean, Matt, Marcus
Girl: Amelia/Amy, Olivia, Stephanie

Seems to be a lot of love for Olivia for a girl ITT. That's what I'd call a girl if I had one too. Not sure for a boy but maybe Michael or Thomas.

It's weird thinking about names. I can only speak for myself but the main reason I like these names is because of the people I've met irl with those specific names. It's like I'd want to infer the positive qualities of those people onto any kid I had. That said, I do think that those names are objectively nice to look at and pronounce as well but the main reason is definitely because of who I picture when think of them.

Do other people do the same? Do you like these names purely because of the way they look on a page and roll off the tongue or have you been positively influenced by someone who shared the same name which in turn makes you like it?

boys - joshua-james, charlie

don't exactly want four kids, it'd be like if i had two girls or two boys then i'd have a third. particular want isobel-lily and joshua-james!!!

yeah but the opposite way ie not calling someone Adam because all the adams i know r ******** lolol
never ever thought in detail, prob wait closer to time and what the father wants, always likedthe idea of naming them after a close relative or at least give them it as a middle name. i wanna call my gurl nalina, it means crazy in korean hehe but i think its pretty. might become a hard name to shout ugh ;l

Kirsten for my first born girl.. (after my mom) not sure about my first born boy.. I will probably let my wife or girlfriend pick that one within reason (DEFIANTLY NOT ANGUS)

I can place a face to all of the names I posted above, but I did choose them because of the way they sound not because of who I know with that name.

Actually with Sean the person I know would probably negatively influence me choosing that name, so that one was definitely because of the way it looks/sounds.
