There are some interesting names in here. I like these combos:
Astrid Monica
Caoimhe Elspeth Mary - like the combo, though only Mary individually
Ceitidh Iona - is this pronounced like Katie? Looks cool, anyway, and I like Iona.
Georgina Beatrix Villiers
Kitty Mae - this is sickeningly cute. Those kind of names are GPs for me. :)
Orla Florence - although it's kinda rhymey.
Romilly Kathryn
Abbie Matthew - cool
Bryn
Cillian - too bad it's a beer in America, or I'd like this name a lot more.
Cormac Leigh (sibs. Finnegan and Darragh) - not a fan of Leigh, but love the sibset.
Danny Albertus - this is really cool
Daragh Brian
Eoghan Sean Thomas
Flynn Christian
Keir George
Lawrie James
Louis (sib. Miles) - like the sibset
Niels Graham - awesome
Lila May and Merla Ann
Ugh, sister Caidee and Kayleigh? Nice to know that doesn't just happen in America at leas. :/
Mayden? Spelling it different doesn't make it sound different.
Millie-B is plain ridiculous.
Kal-El... hahaha! Must be Superman fanatics.
Quinn Quigley sounds like a cartoon character.
