What are your thoughts on these names? Which work well as sibs? What could be added?
Girls:
MN will be either Caitlin (after a friend, but too popular for a first name) or Adeline
Tabitha- #1 right now, nn Tabby Cat as a pet name (Tabitha Caitlin)
Adeline (my Nana's mn)- don't have BF sold on it
Marina (Gramma's mn)- not sure I love it
Scarlett (doesn't go with last name Porch?)
Maren (too close to Simon, #1 boys name?)
Delilah (get lots of Samson&Delilah comments, though it doesn't really bother me at all)
Margaret nn Greta - Margaret seems a bit stuffy to me, but I love the connection to GWTW (Margaret Mitchell)
Boys:
MN either Alexander or James
Simon
Alexander (nn Anders? - this is BF's name, he doesn't want a JR so would probably use it as a mn, even though I love Anders)
Asher
William- BFs fave, but I want something a bit more unique
Rowan- love it, and the Scottish connection, but hate that its going unisex
Don't really have too many boys name I love...
TIA!

You have some great choices there!
Girls:
Tabitha Caitlin - Tabby Cat is too, too cute as long as
Girls:
Tabitha- love it!
Adeline (my Nana's mn)- always sweet, and the Nana connection makes it even better ;)
Marina (Gramma's mn)- I agree with you ... it's nice, and I love a lot of similar names, but don't love Marina itself
Scarlett - Not as a fn with Porch, although I don't get the same image if it's in the mn slot. I know you said Caitlin was too popular for a fn, but then you'd have Katie Scarlett
Maren - yes, too close in sound to Simon. Might not be your style, but with both Marina and Maren on your list, I immediately thought of Mairona (MEH-roh-na). Very similar to both, not too close to Simon, etc. Just a thought!
Delilah - love it. I also like simply Lila(h)
Margaret nn Greta - I actually like Margaret, but I know what you mean. Have you considered Mitchell for a boy? ;)
Boys:
Simon - nice
Alexander - you could just use Anders on its own. It'd be "after" your bf without having a Jr. I actually don't care for Alexander itself, but only because it's incredibly popular in my area (much more so than Caitlin, which you mentioned was too popular for a fn, KWIM?)
Asher - love it
William- I'm with you. Nice, but very common
Rowan- technically, the masculine Gaelic form of Rowan is Ruadhan, meaning "little redhead". You'll find it with this spelling in mythology -- and not on a woman LOL. Rowan is simply an Anglicization of that. I assume most girls named Rowan are named for the plant, so technically a different origin. I've had it on my own list for quite some time, but I'd probably use the Rohan spelling (pronounced the same, but closer to the original Ruadhan and not used on girls as far as I know)

James is really nice for a boys name, Tabitha Caitlin is really cute for a girl..
You might want to look up the meaning of some names before naming baby a certain name though Delilah does not have a good meaning at all.
Blessings, Debbie
Delilah is the Hebrew term for "delicate." Doesn't sound negative to me! ;)
