Fun! Here are my thoughts:

GIRLS:

Esther Nicole-That's nms, but at least Ester is sort of interesting.

Ashleigh Silvana-That's nms.

Neave Bethany-I really like Neve or Niamh. Bethany is nms, but it's not awful.

Grace Elizabeth-That's fine. I love Elizabeth.

Martha Isla-I really like Isla. Martha is different, but nms.

Juliet Sophia-Oh, that's lovely.

Lara Grace-I do like Lara.

Daisy Elizabeth-How sweet.

Charlotte Molly-Nice.

Annette Riley-Odd combination. I like the nn possibilities of Annette.

Zara Elaine-That's kind of neat.

Catriona Grace-I like this authentic spelling.

Marie Abigail-Sweet.

Camilla Grace-I like Camilla.

Laura Ellie-That's fine.

Olivia Lily-I love that.

BOYS:

Scott Robert-I like Scott.

Rory Alexander-Aw, Rory is fun to see. It's a handsome mn as well.

William Stephen-I love that one.

Philip William-Ooh, very nice.

Christian Henry -I love the Henry part.

Charles Matthew-Nice.

Theo Cameron-That's alright.

Gregory Simon-I like that.

Oscar Devin-Cute.

Hunter Michael-I don't like Hunter.

Thomas James-Classic.

Robert Daniel-That's okay.

Parker Hal-I like Parker.

TWINS:

Lilian Sophia & Violet Isabella -Oh my, those are excellent.

Joseph Henry & Clifford James-I love Joseph Henry. Clifford is kind of goofy.

Frederick Tyler & Ethan Thomas-I really like Frederick.

Thanks for sharing.

GIRLS:

Esther Nicole -- Esther's nice ... Nicole is dated

Ashleigh Silvana -- Ashleigh is dated, and the -leigh ending is bad. Silvana's interesting

Neave Bethany -- I would love this if it were Niamh or Naomh or even Anglicized to Neve, but I'm not sure what to make of Neave. Makes it look like they wanted an "American" spelling but didn't think Neve was clear enough.

Grace Elizabeth -- boring

Martha Isla -- Isla's beautiful, but doesn't work with Martha at all

Juliet Sophia -- ooh, Juliet is lovely

Lara Grace -- simply sweet

Daisy Elizabeth -- eh. Daisy still seems like a nn, although it is sweet. Doesn't flow into Elizabeth very well

Charlotte Molly -- Molly also seems like a nn, although I don't mind quite as much since it's the mn. I actually like Charlotte and Molly, but probably not together (Mary Charlotte, nn Molly, would be sweet)

Annette Riley -- seems like they wanted to name their dd after their aging great-aunt and 6-year-old nephew LOL An odd combo

Zara Elaine -- the vowel ending of Zara and beginning of Elaine aren't the easiest to say back-to-back, but other than that I like each name itself

Catriona Grace -- Catriona is beautiful!

Marie Abigail -- Abigail is beautiful (but Marie still sounds too "filler" for me, even as a fn)

Camilla Grace -- I prefer Camille, but this is nice too. Wouldn't use Grace

Laura Ellie -- back-to-back vowels again, and Ellie is a nn. Laura is sweet

Olivia Lily -- the "livi" and Lily sounds don't work for me, although I'm sure there are hundreds of Olivia Lily's out there right now

BOYS:

Scott Robert -- that's fine

Rory Alexander -- I prefer Rory as a nn, but I don't mind it as a given name for a boy

William Stephen -- nice and traditional

Philip William -- ditto

Christian Henry -- a bit fresher sounding (it's funny that these last three are all two-syllables, though)

Charles Matthew -- nice ... the nn Charlie is adorable

Theo Cameron -- Theo is NOT a given name. Cameron is nice, and spelled correctly (extra points LOL)

Gregory Simon -- Simon Gregory flows better, but no biggie. ;)

Oscar Devin -- that's fine

Hunter Michael -- Hunter still puzzles me. Unless you ARE a hunter, it definitely comes across as a name you chose just because it sounds "cool" to you, without regard to the fact that it's also a word, meaning one who tracks and kills animals

Thomas James -- nice. traditional

Robert Daniel -- fine ... don't call him Bobby hehe

Parker Hal -- Hal is a nn. Parker Henry would be nice. Henry Parker, nn Hal, even better!

TWINS:

Lilian Sophia & Violet Isabella -- gag! I actually love both Lilian and Violet, despite popularity and/or celebrity usage, but together?! Lily and Violet ... too cutesy! Sophia and Isabella are perfect popular twin names (I know they're in the mn slot here, but they definitely go hand-in-hand as far as popular, similar names go)

Joseph Henry & Clifford James -- fine, respectable, non-matchy twin names, even if they probably aren't exactly my style

Frederick Tyler & Ethan Thomas -- Ethan seems much more trendy or "now" than Frederick, so it seems an odd combo. But at least they're not Caden and Jadon or something.

GIRLS:

Esther Nicole - that's just bad altogether

Ashleigh Silvana - I don't like Ashley or Ashleigh at all, I don't mind Silvana, I was looking at this name lastnight

Neave Bethany - don't like either names

Grace Elizabeth - boring

Martha Isla - oooh, bad combo, not very good flow, I detest Martha, Isla is ok

Juliet Sophia - too old-fashioned for my likes

Lara Grace - I really like Lara but something a little more interesting for a mn would have been nicer

Daisy Elizabeth - no

Charlotte Molly - no

Annette Riley - ooh, bad combo again, I don't think it's time for Annette to make a comeback and Riley is a boys name ;)

Zara Elaine - I like Zara but not with Elaine

Catriona Grace - dislike

Marie Abigail - yuck

Camilla Grace - not bad but could be better

Laura Ellie - too plain

Olivia Lily - bad combo, I don't like either names

BOYS:

Scott Robert - too plain

Rory Alexander - I like this

William Stephen - nice combo but not my fav names

Philip William - too many l's and i's

Christian Henry - oooh, NO, Christian is so feminine and Henry is my least fav name so through my eyes this is terrible

Charles Matthew - too boring, nice flow though

Theo Cameron - not bad flow, I don't like Theo but I do like Cameron, nice to see it on a boy

Gregory Simon - nice flow, I prefer Gregor, Simon is just ok

Oscar Devin - wierd combo, I don't like Oscar and Devin is too feminine sounding

Hunter Michael - nah

Thomas James - too plain

Robert Daniel - boring

Parker Hal - Parker is ok but don't like Hal

TWINS:

Lilian Sophia & Violet Isabella - dislike all names

Joseph Henry & Clifford James - names go well together but I don't like them, lol, Clifford James was my grandfather's name

Frederick Tyler & Ethan Thomas - totally different style of names, I only like Ethan

Thanks for sharing! Sorry I was so critical, lol.
