I like Louise, Ruth, Marie, Lenore, Florence, Faye, Clarence, and Theodore. India Lenore Ruth and Clarence Jett are so cute! I have a slight crush on Thomasina, and I also quite like Joyce, Edith, Dorothy, Kathleen, and Frances. The idea of Norman intrigues me, but that may just be positive associations I have with the name.

I LOVE Louise, Adeline, Aggie (though I prefer Agatha as a full name), and Faye. Adeline Ruth would be adorable.

 

I like Lucille (though I prefer Luciana), Ruth, Abigail, Lenore (though I'm unsure how exactly to pronounce it) and Florence (Ren would be a cute nickname!).

 

I'm not a fan of Ines, Marie, Barbara, or Daphne. Marie is plain to me though it's a nice honoring name if it goes back in the family.

 

I'm kind of iffy on most of the boy names, because many of them have too strong of a grandfather-ish feel in my mind. I do really like Frank, Clarence, Alfred, and Theodore, though it's hard to see most of these on a little boy nowadays (though Theodore is becoming very popular again). The rest are okay but not for me, although I think they would go really nicely in the middle spot--I love classics in general.

 

Some old-fashioned names I like (though several are becoming popular now):

 

Vivian

June

Beatrice

Clara

Gwendolyn

Evangeline

Genevieve

 

Arthur

Timothy

Henry

Ezra

Philip

Neal/Neil

Allan

Gideon

I love Thomasina with the nn Tamsin <3 Couldn't see myself using it, though. Edith and Frances are super cute, and Joyce is nice. Dorothy and Kathleen aren't for me. I do love Norman! And Herbert as well, don't know why but those always come to my mind in a pair.
