I'll try Dutch
Which is part of my background. And, the Dutch have some pretty excellently funky names.
DS: Manfred Christoffel
DD: Cornelia Anneliese or Cornelia Jozefien?
DD: Jacobine Iris
DS: Ruben Frederik
Hmm. I quite like Jacobine Iris, but there rest I am not sure about. Any suggestions on how to make them better?

Do you know what a TCK is? Third Culture Kid. That's a child that has a family from 1 culture and grows up in another. The combination is a culture of its own that's mixed up. That will be my family's culture- mixed up... not that Cdn.s aren't already rather mixed up as it is... and we don't tend to have a lot of specifically "Cdn." names... much like we don't have a lot of specifically "Cdn." food. We're a cultural mosaic. That is our culture... a mosaic of different ethnicities usually living together in some level of harmony.

I fail to see how these are better than my combos only on the grounds that they are less familiar. Their flow offers little melody, and you have two which begin with the letter S--something to be avoided when naming multiples. Remember, individuality is invaluable. :)
No one is impressed by your ability to click on a link and compile a short list. It's melody, flow and complementary contrast which succeed in compelling a person of superior taste.

That was rude.
Seriously, why do you feel the need to say stuff like that? It's just counterproductive and doesn't do anybody any good. Next time you're going to make a post like this, sit back for a minute and think about what everyone else is going to think of it.
You've been given more than a fair chance on this board when it comes to posting malicious stuff, and after keeping quiet about it for a long time, I'm SICK AND TIRED OF IT. So stop. Please and thank you.

And there is your problem again. :-D
"Superior" taste.
Eir: Norse Goddess of Healing, it's the name of my niece.
Ragnar: My grandfather's middle name.
Solveig: A long-time favorite.
Elin: Ditto the above.
Stellan: Love the meaning, love the sound of it.
Nils is the only one I'm unsure of. I wanted to use Tancred, a name that I adore, but it's listed as Germanic on the board. not Scandinavian.
As for having two names that start with the same letter? Not a big deal. My husband is Alexander, his brother is Anthony and it's not an issue.
I'd rather have my names be clunky than so perfect that they seem to be meaningless. Again we'll have to agree to disagree.

*middle name of my cousin
How I got niece I don't know. Either way I have always dug her middle name a LOT.

Pray, do offer something of superiority (a simple yawn suffices not)

My problem is that names are trying to seem superior.
I think in the end we're going to have to agree to disagree, though.
Alice Madeleine
Charlotte Virginie
Marguerite Elisabeth
Eleonore Suzanne
These are all just...too perfect. They don't seem to have any life, any meaning, any breath. They're names you'd see in a Jane Austen novel, a classy romance novel. They just seem lacking to me.

Jane Austen
I always enjoy her work, and thank you for the compliment. I often picture myself in that type of environment, and I am sure my naming style reflects that. Also, the names above, while they may seem ostentatious to you, they would work well in the reason in which I live (Northern Virginia). They are perfectly normal, fresh and practical through my perspective.
Also, Charlotte and Alice honor my two grandmothers, and Suzanne honors my mother. Marguerite honors my step-grandmother and Eleonore is the cognate of my current favorite name, Eleanor. All have personal significance.

Also being a Jane Austen fan from N. Va, I can see where you are coming from. I'm very fond of English classic names...Agatha, Margaret, Mary, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Alice, Georgiana...there's nothing wrong with perfection. I don't like Virginie and Suzanne as much, but that's only because I prefer the more English Virginia and Susannah. Also, if Eleanor is your favorite name (one of my all-time faves as well), why would you spell it differently? Are you going for a French look?
