I've got a few combos, plus names yet to be paired. But when I try to make a sibset out of (some of ) them, I always get stuck with something like flow. Could you help me out? here are my questions.
-Grace Maryam is probably the one I'm most sure of. Grace is my favorite girl name, and I've asked help here to choose a middle name that suits it adequately-- ultimately, I feel Grace Maryam is the most unique, yet feminine and flowing. What is your opinion of the name? Do you think Marian would be better?
-Another combo I absolutely love is Liam Alexander. What do you think?
- Julianne and Vivienne are two of my favorite names, but I can't seem to choose between them-- obviously they're too similar and rhimey to be used both. So I have to make a choice: some days, Julianne seems stronger, yet feminine, while Vivienne sounds "frillier", and less likely to age as well as Julianne. But then I think about it again, and Vivienne is so beautiful, I'm so sad to see it go. It's a vicious circle; would you tell me which one you prefer and why?
Also, I'd thought about Mercy to go with either of them, but some middle name suggestions would be great! (:
-About the whole "nickname-as-a-first-name" issue. I love the name Cate, but honestly, I'm not so keen on giving a child a nickname as a first name. Catherine seemed like the perfect alternative, seeing as it's a name I really like, but now I'm starting to wonder if it isn't a little bland. What is your opinion? I was thinking of using some slight variations. Suggestions?
Also, middle names-- I had come up with Catherine Livia, but I really, really love Livia, which brings me to the next question:
-Livia: it seems not to flow with some of the names I love. I'm afraid it is too close to Liam (double "lee" sounds), plus the "vee" part would clash with Vivienne (If I do actually use it), and Eve which I also adore.
On the other hand, though, I'd love to use it as a first name: it's unique, but simple and sweet. Livia Temperance is the combo I've grown to love

You see why I'm frustrated?

Advice, as the title says, would be highly appreciated.
And yes, I know it's way too soon to even make this kind of decisions
