Theodore and Sebastian (Theo and Seb): These go together perfectly and so do the nicknames. I also like Bastian but I don't necessarily prefer it over Seb.Tyler and Calix: I really like Calix but it doesn't go with Tyler (and I don't like Tyler at all anyway). I would put Tyler with something like Riley, Wyatt, Colton, Colter, or maybe Xavier and Calix with something like Aeron, Arren, Aodhan, Victor, Vincent, Briar, Luca, Lucan, Tristan, Taliesin, Talfryn, Torin, or Micah. Roberto and Olivier: I can't decide on this one! I like it, but Olivier seems more usable to me and Roberto seems a bit dated or even cartoony.Joseph and Isaac: A little basic but not bad at all, tha names definitely go together. Elijah and Cyrus: Pretty average, they don't fit perfectly but they don't clash. Eli sounds a little better with Cyrus than Elijah does, but there's nothing wrong with the combo as is. Levi and Ezra: Not really my style but the names go together very well. Dakota and Atlas: Atlas is a GP, Dakota isn't bad but when I see these names together I'd expect them to be dogs.

The only set I don't think go well together is Tyler and Calix. Actually, in style they do but I immediately think of the popularity of Tyler whereas I've never met a Calix. My favorites are Elijah and Cyrus, Hugo and Oscar, and Levi and Ezra. =)

Theodore and Sebastian (Theo and Seb) - a good sibset; convincing.
Tyler and Calix - means nothing to me; doesn't stay in my memory for a moment.
Roberto and Olivier - neither is English, but they aren't from the same language. Robert and Oliver would be fine; not these.
Joseph and Isaac - very good; rather too biblical for me to use.
Elijah and Cyrus - neither sounds pleasant; also very biblical.
Levi and Ezra - Levi is too denim, Ezra is too Pound. Not a good set, in spite of the biblical theme.
Dakota and Atlas - well, they're both geographical I suppose! Both seem silly to me, and worse when they're together.
Alistair and Clement - don't really go together, but Clement doesn't go with anything really! I like Clemency for a girl.
Hugo and Oscar - Oscar is very Wilde; Hugo and Oswald would please me better.I like Sebastian, Joseph, Alistair and Hugo. I gave my son Alastair as his second mn. I might have used Joseph and Hugo, given enough sons; I wouldn't have used Sebastian, because there are so many names I like better.

"Levi is too denim, Ezra is too Pound"Can you explain what you mean by denim and pound? I've never heard of that

Denim is the fabric that blue jeans are made of. Levi jeans are a brand that became so famous that instead of saying 'jeans' one could say 'Levis', just as instead of saying 'vacuum cleaner' we say 'Hoover' even if it's a different brand.
Ezra Pound was an American poet om the first half of the 20th century, and a friend of TS Eliot. He later developed political opinions that were unpopular and was assumed to be mentally ill; perhaps he was. But his best poetry is really good.

Ohhh now that you mention it, I forgot that Levi was a brand. We don't generally refer to jeans as Levis like we do Hoover for vacuum though, at least where I'm fromNever heard of Ezra Pound personallyThank you for replying :)

Pound is difficult, and he wrote in ways that were very modern a century ago, so his work doesn't have the meaning or the shock value it once did. Try this:In a Station of the Metro

The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.The style is called Imagist; you can see it's like a photograph - just a single moment without any context.

Theodore and Sebastian: I like both names, but I'm getting a bit tired of them. It seems they're the favourites of everyone in the online naming communities.
Tyler and Calix: hate Tyler, and Calix sounds like the name of a feline fantasy race.
Roberto and Olivier: I don't like either of them.
Joseph and Isaac: okay, though I'm not fond of Joseph. I like it with the nickname Seph, though.
Elijah and Cyrus: I hate Elijah, and it's way too popular, but I love Cyrus.
Levi and Ezra: fantastic. I like the "v" and "z" sounds.
Dakota and Atlas: using tribe names as given names feels disrespectful to me. Atlas is alright, but I'd never use it.
Alistair and Clement: love these, it wins first place ex aequo with Levi and Ezra.
Hugo and Oscar: while I'm not very fond of either name, they immediately made me think of two authors I love: Victor Hugo and Oscar Wilde, so points for that.

Joseph & Isaac

Tyler & Calix: I actually don't mind 'Calix' but the set is just too mismatched for me.
Dakota & Atlas: The names sound nice together but I really don't care for 'Atlas'
Elijah & Cyrus: don't care for them in the same set
Alistair & Clement: Clement is just...no thanks.
