Help[Opinions] Wonderful BA and two delightful sibsets
A baby my grandmother knows, named Henry Augustus. I'm so chuffed. (I think that may have been one of my old combos actually.)
Sibset Sylvia Ann and William Donald (mn's are family). Often "Sylvie" and "Will."
And sibset Elliot, Arthur, and Lillian Cassandra. (Lillian was adopted and her mother named her Cassandra.)
I don't know why I bolded sporadically like that.

I like those names.

Henry Augustus is great! Sylvia Ann is nice, but I feel like the double a sounds run together; I love the nn Sylvie. William Donald is nice too. I'm not fond of Donald as a fn, but it works well as a mn. Elliot is a name I waver on; I like it some days and hate it others. Arthur is one of my favorites, and Lillian Cassandra is nice although it's not really my style.

"chuffed" is a rather silly and antiquated slang term for "pleased, delighted." I'm not sure about its usage, except I know the Beatles used it in their Christmas message in 1964 (because it's on my Christmas playlist) in the context "we're all dead chuffed that blah blah blah." So maybe it's British.

I'd prefer Henry August to Henry Augustus.
I like William, but Sylvia, Ann and Donald aren't my style, although it's nice to see them on kid's today.
Only a short time ago I couldn't stand the name Elliot/Elliott (however you want to spell it), but now I find myself quite liking it! It's gaining momentum here in Oz too, which I find interesting. I don't like Arthur, but I do like Art and Lillian is nice, although I prefer just Lily and I've never liked Cassandra.

Henry Augustus is a very handsome name. It's classic and timeless. Very nice.
