[Permanent Rose]

Eric Raymond - I'm not a huge fan of Eric. To me, it's a little dated. But this is a handsome combo

Carl Jonathan - I feel the same way about Carl that I do about Eric. It's hard for me to see Carl on a little boy. But it's a nice combo that flows well.

Robert Micah - handsome. Robert is a timeless name :]
Henry Keats - This makes me automatically think of the poet, John Keats, so this seams more like a first and last name combo to me. Henry is very, very handsome though
Jack Spenser - I think I mentioned this last time, but I prefer Spencer spelled this way. Again, this one seems a little first and last name-y to me, but I really do love both names
Emmett Robin - My sister's middle name is Robin, and most of the Robins I know are girls, so this name is very feminine to me. However, in the middle name slot, I think it can work for a boy. The flow of this one is just a tiny bit off in my opinion.

Violet Yvonne - while neither of these names are my favorite, I think this is a very pretty combo :]
Lillian Rebecca - though I prefer Lily to Lillian, Lillan does look much more complete. I like this combo
Rosemary Lyn - I've always preferred Rose just on it's on, but Rosemary is pretty too. Lyn looks very incomplete to me with just one N. I'd prefer Lynn. Unless Lyn is to honor someone, I not a big fan. It doesn't do much for Rosemary
Molly Raven - Love Molly, but I don't think it flows amazingly with Raven
Phoebe Ann - I do like Phoebe, but Ann is a little blah with it. Would you consider Phoebe Cassandra, so you could still honor your sister?
Eden Bridgette - very cute. Though the styles of these names are different, they do compliment each other nicely.

Joshua - Joshua is on my list as well. I always fear that it's too common or he'd automatically be called Josh, when I like the full name so much better. I have Joshua Finn and Simon Joshua on my list
William - handsome, but very predictable. As much as I love this name and the nn Will, it just doesn't do anything for mee
Clark - perhaps as a middle name, but this one feels very dated to me
Kenneth - handsome, though not really my style
Graham - I love this one, though I tend to use it as a middle name more. I have Nathan Graham on my list
Edmund | Edward - not a fan of either of these. Too old fashioned for me
Sawyer - I've recently considered adding this to my list as well. I think it's cute, but I can't decide if I love it yet
Brody - This one is cute as well. I like Brady just a little bit more though

Seraphina - not my style
Fiona - not my style
Lenore - again, not my style
Nina - cute
Grace - love this. I think it makes a great first name, and for certain names, it makes a great middle name.
Jordan - I like it better on a boy
Louise | Louisa - I love this one as a middle name. I have Sophia Louise on my list

A lot of my names are honoring names, and Lyn definitely is one of them. (Rosemary is too, actually). Lyn is after my poetry teacher, whose name is Judith Lyn.

It actually took me a little bit to warm up to Carl, because Jon wants to name his son after his great grandfather. I paired it with Jonathan cause I thought it would modernize it a little and give it the nickname option C.J., but I've fallen for the name because I've met his great grandfather and he's adorable!

As for Louise...I love it a a middle too, it's just that all the rest of my girl middle names are honoring names.

And I do like Phoebe Cassandra...but I feel like it's too long. I'll keep thinking about it, though. (:
