We're not sure what we're having, but we're considering naming it after our parents. Here are our choices:
For a girl - Patricia Jacqueline Smith
For a boy - Jonathan Donald Smith
For a girl - Patricia Jacqueline Smith
For a boy - Jonathan Donald Smith
So what do you think? Do they sound ok, too old fashioned, too anything? I'd love to hear everyone's opinions. Thanks.

In any event, Jonathan is a great name.
I think Patricia Jacqueline is great although I personally love the name Jacqueline NN Jackie, and would switch the name to Jacqueline Patricia for that reason. I actually like the name Patricia too, and I like NN Trish, but for some reason I have always disliked NNs Patty and Tricia. So IMHO Patricia's great if you try and keep it "Patricia, not Patty, not Tricia". But of course that is just my personal preference!
Good luck!
I recommend using Trish, Tricia, Tia or Ricci as a nn...
The boys name is really NMS...but I do like Nathan as a nn for Jonathan...
I view Patricia, Jacqueline, and Jonathan as *classic" names as opposed to "old fashioned"...

if going with * Jonathan * (and i do love the name Jonathan, too popular for my taste tho), to make distinctive, perhaps ** Jonathan Donovan Smith **
Joaquin Donald Smith
Jonathan Donovan Smith
Jonathan Donald Smith
the girl's name is wonderful too! both are. are you wanting something classic? or distintive to go with the classic? perhaps, Patricka, Patrice, Patrizia..i like this one.. or would you like a unique nn for Patricia.. how about Petra ... is a Greek name, meaning Rock, i love this name...and have known a girl named Petra (she said it as Pay-trah.. may also be said as Peh-trah/Pet-rah)(she is beautiful, loves her name, intelligent..a math wizz.. and funny, we cracked up in Denny's afterhours many times.) **Patricia nn Petra** that would be unique, cool, is pretty, and strong. there you have classic with distinctively new.
Patricia Jacqueline Smith nn Petra Smith (now, how many Petra Smith's would there be?)
..and if went by Jacqueline as fn, i wouldnt go with Jackie, too common, howabout Jaci .. that's a beautiful, unique, new/fresh spelling
HTH best of baby name whispers to you.
