Some of these are nice, but over-the-top. I emailed the list to my third cousin in Liverpool. She just came back and said these names were funny and ridiculous.The most pretentious in my opinion are Idonea Maud Isabella, Biggles George Fittleworth, and Lancelot Graydon.I do like Nina Amelia, though.

What the heck is Coco Jervoise?
Loveday Beatrice - LOVEDAY!?
Bertram Joseph Orion and Cosmo George Russell - they gave birth to two old guys!? This could be those two grumpy guys in The Muppet Show!
Biggles George Fittleworth and Posie Betsy Winifred (Tuppence) - uuuhhh!? Sounds like the names in Gail Carrigers books - Barnaclegoose, Hisselpenny and Blingchester...
Ludo makes me think of Labyrinth - Ludo is sooo cute!

Some gorgeous sibsets in there! I love Esme, Eliza and Arthur; Lois and Oscar; Octavia, Cosima, George and Cressida (although George seems a little plain next to those girls!); Alexander, Hermione and Arabella.Having Melissa and Clarissa in the same sibset is odd, and both names are awfully dated to me. Peony, Woody, Hector, Jago and Ayre is also a really weird sibset!

Biggles and Tuppence are awful. Posie is too cutesy for me, but it's definitely better than the Biggles and Tuppence at least.I like:Charles

I really wouldn't like to be a Peony. Yuck.
Cool to see Idonea, Beatrice Benedetta nn Bertie is surprisingly cute and Acceus is interesting - Google says it's a last name.
The last set made me giggle. Startlingly, there are 9 Tuppences in the UK! Wonder if their parents are Agatha Christie fans. Hopefully they will never find out that it's also slang for ladybits in some parts of the country: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_words_not_widely_used_in_the_United_States#T

Glad to see Lavinia and Serena (surprised Serena is not more popular) but Biggles and Posie are mind-boggling and twee.
