These are always great. ;) Thanks for posting.

GIRLS:

Catherine Cherry -- Catherine is classic. We had a family friend named Cherry when we were young and always thought it was hilarious her parents named her after a fruit. We'd pretend we forgot her name and call her Plum or Banana (to each other, not to be mean)

Jordan Alexa -- too masculine for my taste

Emily Jane -- popular, but a lovely combo

Emily Robyn -- too Y-ey , though I'd assume Robyn was for someone (a bit dated)

Elizabeth Abigail -- long, but nice. Mentally switched it to Abigail Elizabeth (isn't there a woman here whose dd's named that exact combo?)

Fiona Anne -- not sure I like it with Anne, but Fiona is wonderful

Alexandra Beatrice -- sigh. The Alex- names are getting worse than the -aden trend. Beatrice is great, though

Emma Rose -- common, but nice

Rose Charlotte -- now that's a Rose combo I like. ;)

Susanna Kate -- nice

Jennifer Lily -- Jennifer Tilly, anyone? LOL Jennifer is very dated.

Emily Helen -- you're right ... LOTS of Emilys (you'd think it'd be dying out after a decade, huh? LOL). Helen is nice.

Amelia Isabelle -- love Amelia

Lucy Abigail -- nice

Aubree Virginia -- "Aubree" is misspelled and masculine, though I love Audrey. Aubree Virginia sounds like a place

Brooke Elizabeth -- nice

Claudia Paige -- not technically my style, but nice

BOYS:

Jack Reilly -- very nice

William David -- ditto

Felix Edward -- wonderful! ;)

Henry Jackson -- also great (even better if his father/g-father, etc. really is Jack or John)

TWINS:

Robert James & Sophia Nicole -- ok. Robert James is very classic while the mn Nicole makes Sophia seem even more trendy/popular, if that makes sense.

TRIPLETS:

Imogen Grace, Olivia Clare & Annabel Karen -- Perfect! ;) At first I thought the mns might be fillers, but with Karen at the end there I'm guessing for family. It has to be hard naming triplets without coming across as matchy/cutesy/unoriginal. These parents did a great job.
