Hi, no one in my circle of friends or family ever really comments on the names we have picked, so please answer honestly. I promise I wont get offended. Everyone is intitled to thier opinions. I just really want to know.In fact with Emery I was forbade to use that name- from my best friend. But it was stuck in my head after that, untill finally I really loved it.So please be honest. Thank you.
Ella Temperance for a girl
Owen Luis for a boy
our other children are
Robert (Robbie) Anson
Emery Joseph
Lindsey Denise

I love the names you have chosen. I was just wondering if you thought that Temperance would go well with your other children's names? I love it, but I thought maybe it didn't flow as well. It could just be me! And I LOVE Owen's name...maybe because I plan on naming our little boy Owen (if it's a boy, that is)!

If Temperance is family name then definitely go with it! I love to add my family into the mix, too. Like I said, I love the name!

I love Ella and Owen! The mns aren't really my style, but that doesn't matter much. To me, I think it's nice if the mns have a special meaning or are a little more unique ... that's what they're for, right? :) I think both (or, rather, either) will work perfectly!

for the name Owen Luis. I hate the name Luis. I feel like I'm being trapped into it. My son Robbie has his name from his dads middle name.My son Emery Joseph has his middle name from my dad. So I feel obligated to use Luis because my father in laws name is Cecil Luis.I cant use Cecil, sorry, but thats worse then Luis. but if this is a boy I feel like something has to come from my father in laws name. I would like to use the name Owen Scott.But I just feel like it would really hurt my father in laws feelings if we dont ever use one of his names since my last boy was named partially after my dad.
I think your names are great! I like the tradition of incorporating a family name somehow (we did that with our girls), and I think the names go well with your other children. My only concern about Ella is that if she ever goes by Ellie, will that be confusing with Emery? Just a thought...
Ooh, another thought about Ella Temperance -- does it bother you that her initials will be E.T.? Probably not, but I just noticed it, so I thought I'd point it out just in case.
And I actually like the sound of Owen Luis. Is it pronounced the Spanish way or like Louis? Either way, it's great. And you could always change it to Louis if you like that any better -- it would still be a nod to your FIL. Or what about using Cecilia/Celia for a girl? I think that would be cute, a use of your FIL's name, and go well with your other kids' names, too.
I really do think your original names are great, but I thought I'd give you some other thoughts as well. Good luck making a decision!
