I dislike the NN Hank, though I think Henry Randall is a good enough combo. I am ambivalent towards carrying on the names. I would rather see honoring such as Henry/Hank with his own MN, or making Henry or Randall the MN with his own FN or something. I like the traditional and strong family ties of havin the IV, but I would rather let kids have their own identities. I was so going to post this, but I figured someone would get around to it, and I've started enough threads in short enough a time.

This is a good list.
Dominic Samuel -- Two strong, handsome names
Lucy Kathryn -- Prefer Catherine, and Lucy is a name I don't dislike but am not drawn to at all. Not a bad combo
Molly Megan -- Very meh.
Sally Bryony -- Oh, Bryony! That is an underused gem. Sally is underused, but I wouldn't mind leaving it that way. Too cutesy.
Jay Daniel -- Jay is a bit NNy for me, but it's a nice enough combo.
Kate Olivia -- I dislike Kate and Kathryn in the same sibset, even with one as MN and one as FN. Also, I find Kate too NNy on its own. I do like the pairing with Olivia, though.
Jack Simon -- Again with the NN, though I do actually really like the name Jack a lot the more I think on it, and Simon is classic. Also, they balance well.
Annie Natasha -- Again too NNy, but Anne Natasha would have been striking.
Barney Callum -- Whoa! This is awesome.
Rosie Georgia -- Another cutesy -ie ending, sigh. Rose is a nice name, though, and it's good to see Georgia.
Gracie Amelia -- Do I even have to say it? However, Grace Amelia would be gorgeous.
Claire Abigail -- Beautiful!
Isabel Poppy -- Poppy is a total GP of mine, and as a MN with the more grounded Isabel, I think it's really charming.
Sophia Ella -- Kind of trendy, but I like both names
Mason Joshua [expected in March] -- Mason is a GP of mine, and I think the combo goes really well. Unfortunately, I dislike Joshua because all the ones I've known in real life have been incredibly irritating.
