Wow, I've never heard of Baris but I really love it! The meaning via great too. Anyone have ideas on how it's correctly pronounced?

I like Beatrice and love that one of them has a mother called Demelza!Bebe is not my style and reminds me of a friend of a friend named Bebe who writes very raunchy novels! Atticus Constable Sherwood is very pretentious in my opinion.I'd never heard of Baris or Bahar but I see they are Turkish names.I'm assuming Hilleary is also a family surname. Isla and Rose are good names for twins and go with Benedict too.Brodie is growing on me but not something I would ever use.Bobby could become as popular as Alfie I think. They're very similar in style.

Bebe - doesn't this mean baby in French? (It can be a nickname for Barbara, though.)Hilleary looks like one of those kre8tiv spellings.I'm guessing Bahar is of Turkish descent, since that and Baris are Turkish names.

Beatrice Patricia -
I have a problem with the combo Beatrice Patricia. It's not a terrible name but Beatrice and Patricia are so similar in shape that it bothers me.Bebe Elizabeth -
I've always thought of Bebe as a nickname for Elizabeth so the combo Bebe Elizabeth feels redundant.Bethany Ann -
This is probably my favorite name listed.Benedict Felix Macdonald -
Benedict Felix on it's own would have been great. Macdonald throws it off for me.Bobby Dexter Joseph -
This is rather awful to me. I've always thought Bobby, as well as most old-fashioned boy's nicknames, feel dirty and uneducated. Dexter Joseph is really nice though.

Constable is really interesting, and they used it in both children's middle names. I wonder if it's a family surname? It know it's probably too over the top for some people, but I actually really like Atticus Constable Sherwood.Love siblings Betsan and Griffyd.I really like this list overall! It's a nice variety of names.
