Hi @JoeKirby. There are so many varieties that it's quite difficult to differentiate, especially as lots of them can be very similar. The bottom ones could be Yellow Cheerfulness, although your pic looks quite a strong yellow, and ch'ness isn't usually so dark.
You could try looking at the site you got them from, to see if any others match up, or use one of the big bulb specialist sites to see if you can get an ID there. Nyssens etc.

The second one looks like Tahiti.

Agree Narcissus Tahiti looks a good match.

I wondered about Martinette too @Silver surfer, but I've never grown it. I have Tahiti.

I wondered about that re the orange centre @Silver surfer but I haven't grown that one for donkeys' years - I only grow the cream one now.

The second does look like Tahiti. I have loads out at the moment (with pink tulips per my profile pic).
