Boys
Robert Carl - I'm not a huge fan of Robert/Robbie/Bob/Bobby. Its a bit old, though I could understand if it has family connections. Something about the combo Robert Carl is a little off too.
Graham William - <3 I really like this combo. Graham isn't hughly popular (Ranked 262 in 2009).
Noah Raymond - Noah Raymond is nice. Though I think Noah is a bit too popular for my taste (Ranked top 20 in past 5 years)
Eric Allan - Nice combo, not really my taste...Eric has actually been dropping in popularity the past 10 years.
Henry Jonathan - <3 Henry, Like Jonathan, the combo is nice but not my favorite. Maybe Henry William or Henry Allan?
Walter Joshua "Walt" - Walter is another that has been steadly dropping in popularity (Ranked 387 in 2009) I think Walt is a cute nn, I think Walter Jonathan would flow a bit better than Walter Joshua.
Wilder Jonathan "Wild" - Not sure about the nn "Wild" but I do like Wilder, though maybe more for a middle name. Wilder Jonathan sounds nice.
Pacey Joshua "Pace" - <3 Pacey (always reminds me of Dawson's Creek, I always liked Joshua Jackson better than James Van Der Beek)
Gulliver Allan - Gulliver is nice. The combo of Gulliver Allan is a bit L heavy though.
Gray William - <3 Gray!! I much prefer this to the more popular Grayson. <3 the combo as well.
Atticus Robert - I'm not a huge fan of Atticus. Its a bit too much for everyday use and there aren't really any great nn options. Atticus Robert does go well together, though.
Phineas Walter - I like the name Finn but dislike many of its longer variants. However I think Phineas is a nice name with the potential nn Phin. I dont think I'd ever use it but I do like it.
Phineas Walter is a great combo.
Romeo Eric - Not a huge fan of Romeo, mostly because of the Juliet association & potential for teasing.
Micah Raymond - Micah is a bit more mainstream than you'd think. It has been rising in popularity and though it isn't in the top 100, its close. (Ranked 118 in 2009). That being said, I really like the name Micah & Raymond goes with it nicely.
Girls
Bridgette Lena - Nice combo, not really my style
Judith Rebecca "Jude" - I wouldn't really call Judith main stream. It has been falling in popularity over the past six years (Ranked 769 in 2009). Not a huge fan of the "Jude" nn either.
Rose Jacqueline - Pretty I like the combination of the longer middle with the short one syllable Rose.
Ophelia Lyn - I wouldn't call Ophelia mainstream either, Though I do LOVE this name. Ophelia hasn't been ranked in the top 1000 in the past 10 years.
Primrose Jacqueline "Rose" - LOVELY!
Sephira Bridgette - okay, not really my style
Nova Judith - Nova is very pretty, nice combo.
Sonnet Lena "Sunny" - okay
Eden Ophelia - Eden is really what I would call mainstream (Ranked 205 and climbing).
Bellamy Rebecca "Bell/Amy" - pretty.
Juliet Rose "Julie" - Juliet IS what I would call mainstream. It has been rising in popularity (Julie was ranked 354, Juliet 319 and Juliette 439 in 2009). Juliet Rose is pretty though.
Robert Carl - I'm not a huge fan of Robert/Robbie/Bob/Bobby. Its a bit old, though I could understand if it has family connections. Something about the combo Robert Carl is a little off too.
