John Piper
Francis Chan
Herbert and/or Robert "Bob" Grings
James and/or Nancy Smith
William Carey
David Livingstone
George Muller
Amy Carmichael
Jim Elliot
Stephen (from the Bible)(I prefer it pronounced Stefan)
Rodger Youderian
Peter Flemming
Ed McCully
John and/or Charles Wesley
William Hunter
Corrie Ten Boom
William Wilberforce
John Wycliffe

Favorite names off the list:

B:
Nate

Kendon
Angus
James
Elliot
Stephen (Stefan)
Peter
Hunter
Hudson
Henry

G:
Charlotte "Lottie"

I'd like combos (names don't have to be off these lists, but it would be cool if they were) & names derived from names on the list. Thanks, everyone!

[Ivee(:]

Charlotte Anna & Corrie Graham (I prefer spelling Cory)
Helena Charlotte & Hudson Charles
Amy Helena & Henry Angus

[Sierra Eleanor]

Thank you! And I prefer Cory as well.

Do you know the sexes of the twins you're having yet? You must be so excited!!

BB: James Elliot and Angus Peter- kind of matchy, but I think it's cute, Kendon James and Hudson Angus (though, I do prefer Cooper James and Hudson Angus- Cooper as in Ken Cooper), Elliot Hudson and Henry Stephen. Another sib-set I do like that isn't part of your favourites list, but part of the original list is Leo and Alex (Leo is from Leonard Buck, and Alex from Alex Friend). Maybe Leo Hudson and Alex Hunter?

Also, could you spell Stephen Stephan? Only a slight alteration, but it will give you the pronunciation that you want

GG: Charlotte Ivy and Elizabeth Luna (I took the surnames of Charlotte and Betty- Greene and Moon- and swapped them around as middle names, if that makes sense?), Anna Rose and Ellen Vera (middle names from Roseveare), Amy Helena and Anna Charlotte, Helena Clare and Charlotte Ariel.

BG: Hudson Nate and Helena Amy (my matchy sib-set ), Charlotte Rose and Peter Angus, James Hunter and Elizabeth Helena, Henry Graham and Clara Rose.

Other names you could use that relate to the ones you've listed:

Jackson
Nathaniel
Amelia
Alexander
Leo
Edward
Jonathan
Cory/Corey
Corbin
Piper- from John Piper
Carly, Lola, Charlene- all from Charlotte
Taylor
Annabel, Annabeth, Annalise, Annabella- from Anna
Clara/Clare/Clarissa- from Clarence
Ariel
Victoria "Tori"
Helena/Ellen/Elena/Lena- from Helen

Hope it helps!

[Sierra Eleanor]

Thank you!! Helps a lot! & we don't know the sexes yet. I'm excited, but super nervous! They are our firsts and TWO at once! Haha

My favorites you listed:
James Elliot and Angus Peter
Elliot Hudson and Henry Stephen
Leo Hudson and Alex Hunter
Amy Helena and Anna Charlotte
Hudson Nate and Helena Amy
Henry Graham and Clara Rose
