My top girls:
Adelaide, Alexandria (NOT Alexandra), April, Augusta, Diana, Dorothea, Edith, Eleanor, Frances (mn only), Irene, Laurel, Matilda, Phillipa, Rosemary, Susan, Vianne

Boys:
Charles, Edward, Evan, Isaac, Phillip, Theodore, Benjamin, Jacob, Henry
Girls:
Adelaide, Eleanor, Frances, Irene, Matilda, Phillipa, Vianne, Nora, Amelia, Cora, Lily

In case you're not as enthused about Phillip/Phillipa, some other combos that might strike your fancy.

I really like Phillip Edward and Phillipa Vianne! Of course once we use one, I don't think we could use the other...
I also like Henry Edward, Evan Jacob, Nora Adelaide, Eleanor Frances and Amelia Irene.
I think we should use Phillip and Phillipa as our choices this round and save the others for later. What do you think?

Have we decided a theme?
1
No, I don't think we have. Do we have to or can we just wait and see if we want a theme? What are some of your favorite names, Talia? I will make a list of both boy and girl names I really like and then we can compare and maybe eliminate a few. I'm so excited, I can wait to be a dad!
1
We don't have to but I enjoy having some kind of guidelines because naming your kids Noach, Meike, and Olga looks a little funny. Where is your family from? Mine's Polish and Hungarian.
1
As far as I know we are mostly Anglo-American with some Irish and Italian heritage. I think I would prefer more normal English names as first names but I'm all for quirky and unusual middle names. I'm sure there are Polish and Hungarian names that are used in English speaking countries as well. I know I've had a pretty tough time growing up as Rembrandt Valentin and I wouldn't want my children to experience that.

We're having a baby... Oh Lily love, I couldn't be happier! Now, lets have a look at that list of names you like... I'll just take out any that I don't like, and add any that I like that weren't on there, and then you can go through those... Oh, and what do you think of including our parents & grandparents names in our lists, I'm quite fond of honouring names as middle names, what do you think? I've separated out all of our parents & granparents names to make things easier...

After consideration, I think we should get rid of Nicholas as a first name. It sounds too close to our last name, don't you think? I love honoring names as well. And really the only names I'm not fond of you added are Clover and Peyton (at least not Peyton for a girl). I'ss start throwing out some combos, let me know what you think! I'm only going to use honoring names for middle names, but I'm fine with almost any of the names from our lists as middle names too.

Alexandra Molly
Violet Delaney
Rosalie Elizabeth
Rachel Linda
Amelie Iris
Chloe Amelia

I agree about Nicholas, Nick Nixon is a bit repetitive sounding. Lily - I absolutely love all of those combo's, this is going to be difficult to choose... I'll try and pick a top 5 for each sex.
Violet Delaney
Rosalie Elizabeth
Amelie Iris
Madeleine Anne
Nora Penelope
Aiden Nathaniel
Emmett Richard (Though I think I wold love this even more as Emmett Henry - wdyt?)
Gabriel James
Lucas Sullivan
Zachary David
What were your favorite combo's love? Did you really love any that I haven't included here? I think my top choices are Rosalie Elizabeth or Nora Penelope for a girl, and Emmett Henry or Gabriel James for a boy.
Violet Delaney
Rosalie Elizabeth
Amelie Iris
Madeleine Anne
Nora Penelope
Aiden Nathaniel
Emmett Richard (Though I think I wold love this even more as Emmett Henry - wdyt?)

I agree with you about Emmett Henry, as it flows better. I think I like Gabriel James just slightly more, with the nickname Gabe. I'm actually starting to rethink Rosalie and Violet for first names, although I love them, because it just seems a little matchy with my name, all being after flowers and all. I wouldn't mind that if you don't (coincidentally, I also love the names Jade and Ruby, which would match quite nicely with your name). Because of that, I'm going to go with Nora Penelope as my pick for a girl.
