Arthur & IsoldaArthur Taliesin & Isolda Luned.
If Esyllt had been there I'd have picked that. Also-rans: Hector & Tristan. I love Geraint & Owain but they're already in the family.

Enid and Gareth - moreEnid and Gareth. I'd use Gareth IRL, and an old friend is married to a very nice Enid.I'd definitely avoid Igerna and Bedivere.Middles from the list:
Enid Gwenhwyfar
Gareth TaliesinMiddles from elsewhere:
Enid Annabel
Gareth Paul

Morgan & ArthurNot sure about middle names. Maybe sticking with the same theme they could be Morgan Isolde and Arthur Tristan. Merlin is a guilty pleasure - Merlin Cai. Peredur might become a new guilty pleasure :)Kay on a boy these days would be awkward with this spelling. And some of the others might have difficulty with pronunciation. I don't find Igerna/Igraine particularly feminine. And the older forms of Isolde are not pretty. Mordred and its variants are likewise very unattractive. Gawain is also far nicer than Walganus (quite hideous!). The rest are ok.

Iseult and Caijust those two

Iseult & BedivereI also love Enid, Guinevere, Isolda, Isolde, Nimue, Arthur, Gareth, Percival, Peredur, and Taliesin.
vote up1
Isolda and HectorI like the warmth of Isolda and Hector seems like quite a handsome name. If it weren't for a not so great association I'd choose Kay. Or maybe Merlin...Or Gareth... This is hard!
vote up1
Gawain & IsoldeGawain Arthur and Isolde Elaine Choosing between Morgan and Isolde was difficult, but I wouldn't want both names ending with 'n' so Isolde won.
vote up1
Nimue and TristanI think all are useable.I like:ENID
ISOLDE
LUNED
MORGAN
NIMUE GAWAIN
HECTOR
LANCELOT
MERLIN
MORDRED
OWAIN
TRISTAN

Igraine and Hector.So many of those are good. For a girl, I'd choose Igraine. For a girl though I like several, I'll choose Hector, as it was my father's middle name, also my grandfather's. no middles for the moment, not very good at that.

Isolde & ArthurI'd say quite a few are usable, depending on where you live.
These would work here:Elaine
Enid
Isolda
Isolde
Morgan (maybe, it's used purely as a boys name here)Arthur
Cai
Gareth
Hector
Kay
Lancelot
Merlin
Percival
Tristan
Arthur and Isolde are my favorites of these.

Isolde and CaiOn another day it'd be Morgan and Tristan, but I'm feeling more adventurous today. Isolde was a really early name love of mine, I don't remember where I first encountered it but I thought it was so cool and beautiful. I don't dislike any of them... I'd certainly roll my eyes if I met a real life Merlin or Lancelot but they're old names, mythological names and I respect them for that in their own right.. and they'd be good names for cats.

Guinevere & MordredJust with those names:
Guinevere Enid Lunete & Mordred Tristan CaiAnd with any:
Guinevere Alice Winter & Mordred William KitI love Arthur as well, but it's way too popular for me, so it's on my guilty pleasure list. So is Mordred, but on the too weird/not so good association side, although after Merlin (the BBC TV show) I did have a teensy short term crush on him haha. I quite liked Guinevere, as a character, in the show too. Coincidently I was just looking at some Merlin pins and thinking of having a rewatch, I miss it!

Isolde & HectorThough I do prefer Esyllt, and Merlin is a close second. I picked Hector because it's my boyfriend's grandfather's name and I think it's super handsome on him.

Morgan & Tristanand totally as a twin set! They both end in -an and have two syllables. My combos would probably be Morgan Abigail and Tristan Everett, because Abigail and Everett are both in my top 50 for their respective genders. If I had to use only the names you provided, they'd be Morgan Elaine and Tristan Owain.

Guinevere & ArthurAlthough not as siblings, that would be weird. :-PIf I were to make combos solely with the names you've provided, then Guinevere Elaine and Arthur Taliesen. Otherwise, Guinevere Elise & Arthur Edmund.
