That is about THE longest list I've ever seen. LOL
I like :
Alexandra, Amandine (not sure how to pronounce it though), Annabel, Anastasia, Anna, Amelie (as an alternative for Emily or Amelia), Arabella, Audrey, Aurelia, Aurora* (nn Rory), Bronwen, Catherine*, Dorothea, Elisabeth*, Evangeline (nn Evie), Francesca* (LOVE nn Cesca), Esmeralda, Georgiana, Jane**, Josephine, Louisa* (and Louise), Nora, Rosalind*, Rosemary, Ruby.
Alexander, Benjamin*(Dh has a cousin Ben so I can't use it!), Charles, Declan, Duncan, Elias, Henry*(my most favorite of all), Ian*, Hugh, James(Dh and his ex used it for their 2nd Ds who passed away, I'd love to use IT too), John*(right close behind Henry on my faves list), Nathanial, Nicholas(of course), Stephen(ditto from James), Spencer, Timothy*(ditto from Benjamin)

How in the world will you ever choose with such a long list!! I thought my list was cumbersome. Great names BTW.
~ Peggy
I listed the ones that I wasn't sure about the pronunciations... If I am butchering them let me know
Girls:
Ambrosine (is the 'ine' prn. eee-n, eye-n, or in?)
Anjali (An-jaah-li, or An-jah-li)
Richenda/Richensa-- I'm tripping over this one
Boys:
Alaric (Al-are-ic or Al-eric)
Aloysious ???
Taleisin ( The way I'm saying it, it sounds like Tale of sin... I hope not)

Ian is Gaelic & kind of a traditional name. 12 years ago it was also fairly unusual. And I also love the meaning!
And then there is my trendy Tyler. One of 4 in his class sometimes. It was the ONLY name my dh & I could agree on at the time. I do like his name a lot but do wish it wasn't so popular.
Now, I am thinking ahead for our next daughter and the names on my list are (as you're probably getting tired of hearing lol):
Traditional - Abigail, Jessie, Elisabeth/Elisabet
Gaelic - Delaney & Keely
Unusual - Eden, Annabeth & Anya
Trendy? - Aubrey would you consider Aubrey trendy? or unusual?
Delaney would probably go down here under trendy also.
I know that I am quite fond of some of the Gaelic names. My favorite boys names besides Ian are Alec & Graham. I also like Duncan quite a bit.

Girls - Juniper "June", Wilhelmina "Willa", Amaryllis "Maris", Arabella "Arie", Alanna "Lana"
Boys - Benedict "Bennie", Nicholai "Nicky", Lincoln "Linc", Raphael "Rafe", Silas "Si"
elizabook, Amandine is pronounced like a cross between Amanda & Almondine. It's an older, French form of Amanda. :)
Jorie:
Girls:
Ambrosine - pronounced "een" at the end, feminine of Ambrose!
Anjali - An-jah-li is very close to right, the "jah" is very short (rather zhah sounding for that matter) with the accented syllable on the "lee" part. At least that's how the Indian (Eastern, not Native) grandmother of Anjali says it!
Richenda/Richensa - Theyr'e actually both said the same.. Reesh-en-zah
Boys:
Alaric - just like it looks, actually..Al-er-ic
Aloysious - Said Al-oh-ish-us.
Taleisin - "Tale of sin... I hope not." Nope.. Ta-LAY-eh-zin.. I love this mythological boy's name
And Peggy.. Thank You! I've been fascinated by names since I was small and have lists upon lists of them. This list here is just my overall favorites.. the ones I'd actually use! Glad you all liked it. Feel free to take any you all like, I have more!

Boys
- Weston
- Kaden/Kaiden

Haven't quite decided on middle names, but I think we will choose family names. My grandmother's name is Madeline and I love the way it sounds with Thora. With our last name being Smith I think we need very distinctive first names. John Smith just isn't an option!
