I like Mathilda, *love* Elinor (especially that spelling), and quite like Kathryn, though I think there is something nicer about Katherine/Catherine.

I like Jude, Jasper, Henry and Sebastien. Like a poster above, I find the name Cyrus a little menacing. I don't really understand Thatcher - it sounds like a surname originating from a trade, like Miller or Smith, rather than a forename. Mathieu could be difficult: if you want a Mat-yur, great, but if you want a Math-ew, I'd recommend spelling it the ordinary way. There was a Mathieu (Matthew) at my school and his name was almost always mispronounced.

(Admittedly, some of this is from UK/US p.o.v: if you're based elsewhere, you may have chosen particular spellings because they work in more than one language and that's great.)
