There are some really great names on here. ;)

GIRLS:

Florence Beatrice -- like each name, but not together. I would've used Flora Beatrice or Florence Beatrix or something along those lines.

Madeline Daisy -- very sweet

Ruby Mae -- Mae is nms, but this is still great. Ruby is spunky ;)

Freya Leanne -- love Freya

Madeline Alice -- I'd prefer Alice Madeline, but I still like it

Alexandra Isabelle -- both are very overdone in my area. I'd pass on this one

Sophia Katharine -- Sophia's incredibly popular here as well, but this combo's still nice

Imogen Eva -- Imogen is wonderful! I also like Eva, but it's a bit hard to say following Imogen

Grace Alexandra -- another Alex- name, and Grace is also overdone

Amber Bethany -- eh, not terrible, but Amber is nms (too exotic dancer)

Denver Theresa -- Denver's pretty bad. If it has special meaning, maybe as a mn, but it just doesn't work for me

Ellen Jane -- Ellen's fine, and Jane is very sweet, but I don't like the repetitive N endings

Hannah Louise -- not my favorite combo, although I do like Louisa and Eloise

Julia Denise -- Julia is very nice, but I have to assume Denise is for someone born in the 70s

Sophie Catherine -- now that's lovely. I know it's close to Sophia, but I never hear Sophie

Clementine Isabella -- I actually quite like Clementine. Isabella I could pass on.

Amelia Mary -- love Amelia. Love Mary. Don't love them together.

Eloise Rose -- again, love Eloise. Love Rose. But not together. ;)

BOYS:

John Zachary -- John is classic, even if it isn't my favorite, but Zachary is very overdone here

Samuel Richard -- that's fine

Frederick Joshua -- hehe My five-year-old dd is in love with the name "Freddy" lately. No idea why (she doesn't know one). LOL

David Fenston -- David isn't really my style, but Fenston is interesting ... gotta be a family name

Julian Eric -- Julian is nice. I wouldn't have paired it with Eric

Isaac Charles -- that's nice

William Spencer -- also very nice

James Thomas -- don't like the double S endings

Joseph Henry -- Love Henry. I know about two dozen Josephs, so I could do without another. ;)

Edward Remy -- that's interesting. I like it.

Andrew Ralph -- I like Andrew, but Ralph has sickly connotations. hehe

Ellis Murphy -- I absolutely love this combo! It has to be my favorite from the boy list.

Philip Frank -- that's a little too "F-ey" for me

Felix Christopher -- ooh, I love Felix as well

Michael Emmanuel -- the -el endings are a bit repetitive

Henry Rufus -- not the best flow between the -ry Ru- sounds, but I love Henry, and think Rufus is just quirky enough to be cool ;)

Henry Herbert -- too H-heavy

Michael Oscar IV -- no matter the name, I could never have a fourth

TWINS:

Nicholas Joseph and Christopher Samuel -- a little dated, but at least they're not Nick and Nate or Christopher and Christian or something LOL

Poppy Alexandria and Caspar Jonathan -- the mns are nms, and I wouldn't use Poppy or Caspar myself, but at least they have imagination ;)

Tatiana Emily and Matthew Robert -- Tatiana seems the odd name out here. The rest are all so popular/traditional.

Interesting list. Thanks for sharing!
