Yes, I realize that my girl list is kind of extensive. I just can't bring myself to drop any of them. You don't have to talk about all of them if you don't want. Just the ones that you have something to say about. (:
I am also in search of a middle name for Astrid and Elspeth.
Lastly, I've been considering the name Theodora. I've never really seen its appeal before now, but the more I hear it, the more I like it. And I've been seeing the Oz trailer a lot lately, so I've heard about Theodora the good witch quite a bit.

I am at awe with your name list! So many great names! I am infatuated with 2 names from each gender...

Sebastian Cato & Wesley Patrick

India Lucille & Anya Beatrice (I might have to steal this one (: )


Theodora is stunning. I'm not a huge fan of nicknames but Thea is just irresistible! I am really drawn to this name but sadly the hubby is not.

[Camellia]

Thank you! I love vintage, elegant names, and names from different cultures. I'm glad someone shares my taste, because God knows my family doesn't! (:

I'm in love with Anya Beatrice. I just came up with it today after watching Anastasia. You're welcome to add it to your list if you like. I really don't mind. (: I'm gaining a huge appreciation for Russian names lately.

Aww! I hadn't even thought of nicknames yet! Thea is so beautiful, though I'm also not a huge fan of nicknames- at least on girls.

[Katie-Nana]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE just about every name on your list.

[ashooles]

I love Wesley Patrick It's wonderful!!!

Anya Beatrice and Delia Violet are really pretty on your girl's list

Because this list is so long (which is fantastic, by the way), I'm going to group the names into three categories: love, like, and dislike. I'll mention why I dislike the names in the third category, and I'll also list my favorites.

Love:
Alexander James "Xander"
Wesley Patrick "Wes"
Henrietta Grace "Hattie"
Victoria Poppy "Tora"
Margaret Isis "Maisie" or "Mae" (<- LOVE Maisie)

Susanna Claire "Sunny"
Helena Ruby
Delia Violet

Like:
Ronan Cassius
Abram Darcy "Bram"
Sebastian Cato "Bastian" - (This would be on the love list, but I prefer just Sebastian to Bastian.)
Lorcan Milo
Catherine Piper
Isabel Hadley
Leonora Phoebe
Louisa Carys
Freya Jasmine
Melanie Florence
Vivian Alice (I think Alice Vivian sounds a little better)
Philippa Jane
Rosalind Ivy "Rosie"
Diana Laurence (Love Diana, but I prefer Laurence / Lawrence on a boy)
Irina Hazel
Anya Beatrice
Milena Pearl
Julia Garnet

Dislike:
Soren Charles - I adore Charles, and it compliments Soren well, but Soren always makes me think of the word "soarin'" / "soaring."
Noa Juliet - Noa(h) is all boy to me, sorry!
India Lucille - I know a girl named India, and she ruined the name for me, unfortunately.
Cornelia Frances - I've never been a fan of Cornelia. Seems a bit unusable to me.
Signe Josephine - Only because I'm not sure how to pronounce Signe!

So, your list is pretty amazing, haha! While some of the names are not my personal style, you are really good at choosing combos that flow really well. It's hard to pick, but my favorite of your boy names is Wesley Patrick "Wes", and my favorite of your girl names is Delia Violet ... although Susanna Claire "Sunny" and Victoria Poppy "Tora" are close runner-ups! (As a side note, those three girl combos would make a GORGEOUS sibset!)

Middle names for Astrid:

Astrid Lucille
Astrid Veronica
Astrid Louise
Astrid Molly
Astrid Noelle
Astrid Maeve
Astrid Jane
Astrid Poppy
Astrid Belle
Astrid Rebecca
Astrid Gemma

Middle names for Elspeth:

Elspeth Rose
Elspeth Diane
Elspeth Grace
Elspeth Fiona
Elspeth Luna
Elspeth Willow
Elspeth Marie
Elspeth Ruby
Elspeth Jane
Elspeth Sophia
Elspeth Viola

Theodora is nice. I personally prefer the male version Theodore, or the shorter form Thea.

[MommaMeg]

Wesley Patrick is my favorite of your boys.

Love Noa Juliet!

[xxThePumpkinQueenxx]

I'm head over heels for Wesley Patrick oh my goodness

[Camellia]

Thanks, everyone! Seems like everyone loves Wesley Patrick a lot! (:

Meghan - thank you so much for all your input! I love long replies! Out of your middle name suggestions, I like Astrid Belle and Elspeth Fiona the best. I actually really love Elspeth Fiona! I had Fiona on my list a couple months ago, so I'm very fond of it. As for Belle, that's was my great-grandma's middle name, so it's also a family name. I love family names haha! (: Oh, and Signe is pronounced just like Sidney, but with a "g." SIG-NEE. (:

Thanks for all the positive feedback, everyone!

I read your list over a bit ago, and I've been pondering it for a few days... ready for a proper reply hehe!

Alexander James "Xander" ~ Handsome! Classic and timeless
Ronan Cassius ~ I do like Ronan! I have Roman as my number 2 boys name, haha. And Cassius is such a handsome name!! So strong, I love <3
Abram Darcy "Bram" ~ I am loving Abram! I have Abram Christopher on my list <3 I'm not personally a fan of Darcy, but it definitely sounds good after Abram x
Wesley Patrick / Victor "Wes" ~ I like Wesley, its nice. Patrick isn't my cup of tea, purely because of personal association. Victor is nice! I love the idea of it, though its not a name I can imagine using personally. One I'd love to see on someone elses kiddo haha. My vote is Wesley Victor!
Soren Charles ~ Soren is alright, I can see the appeal though its not one I'd use personally. Charles is super handsome <3
Sebastian Cato "Bastian" ~ Sebastian has another negative personal association. Cato is so handsome though! I wish I could use it, but Mikes surname has a D in the second syllable and it clashes with any B/D/T sound and such... Either way it just sounds so handsome! I can totally imagine a baby boy named Cato <3
Lorcan Milo ~ I'm not a fan of Lorcan at all. It just makes me think of a movie villians name or something </3 Milo is super handsome though! I love it <3


Noa Juliet ~ I like it! Beautiful <3
Catherine Piper ~ A mix of classic and modern, all my style! I love it <3 Catherines a childhood favorite of mine, and Piper is currently a fav!
Isabel Hadley ~ so lovely!! I love Isabel, especially this spelling x And of course I like Hadley, hehe!
Leonora Phoebe ~ Pretty, I adore Phoebe! Sooo pretty
Louisa Carys ~ Pretty
Henrietta Grace "Hattie" ~ Henrietta is beautiful, I like. And Grace works nicely. I adore Hattie, just too pretty!!
Victoria Poppy "Tora" ~ Victoria is classic and pretty, its on my list. Poppy just isn't my style though <3
Margaret Isis "Maisie" or "Mae" ~ I think Margaret is really pretty! Unfortunately Mike doesn't agree. Maisie is very cute, as is Mae. Isis is alright, I just feel like I can't say it very properly.
India Lucille ~ Aw I really like this one! India is so pretty, exotic but not crazy. And Indie is an adorable nick name <3 And Lucille is really beautiful
Freya Jasmine ~ Neither name is my style, sorry!
Melanie Florence ~ Neither is my style here either <3
Susanna Claire "Sunny" ~ I love the nick name Sunny, thats so cute!
Vivian Alice ~ Both names are pretty
Helena Ruby ~ Ruby is very pretty, Helena is nice
Philippa Jane ~ too darn cute! I love both names, Jane is high on my list
Rosalind Ivy "Rosie" ~ I had this combo on my list at one point, too beautiful!
Cornelia Frances ~ I'm not very much a fan of Cornelia, Frances is nice
Delia Violet ~ Delia is SUCH a lovely name, and Violet is absolutely gorgeous as well! I think they go very well together
Diana Laurence ~ Diana is such a strong girls name, its not one I'd use personally but one I love to see on others kids! And Laurence is nice
Irina Hazel ~ Irina is a bit dated to me, my mothers friend is named Irena and every one I've met is about 40/50. Hazel is so beautiful though!
Anya Beatrice ~ I love Anya, so gorgeous! And Beatrice is a name I feel like I should like, yet I don't. Its old fashioned (I adore) and has a cutesy sort of sound (also adore) but I'm not a fan of names starting in B for whatever reason, there is only one or two I actually do like. Guess I don't pesonally like the sound. But its a great name!
Milena Pearl ~ Milena is alright, Pearl is alright. It makes me think of the Scarlet Letter (which Hesters daughter is named Pearl?). Not necessarily a horrible association, actually I think its a great one. I love literary names!
Julia Garnet ~ Kind of makes me think of an actresses name or something, or a name an actress would have.
Signe Josephine ~ I love Josephine. It balances Signe off nicely. I'm not a huge fan of Signe, not sure how to pronounce it. Is it sig-nee, or rhymes with "line" so its said like Sign but has an extra e?

And no worries girly, my lists have been quite extensive before! Don't drop any names if you like them, its nice to have options Half the fun of name lists, really. I think! And being I left this page up for a few days, I had plenty of time to consider and respond to each of them haha!

Astrid is such a beautiful name! I wish more people liked it!!
Astrid Leslie
Astrid Eloise
Astrid Isabel
Astrid Willow
Astrid Elisabetta
Astrid Georgia

Elspeth isn't my style, I guess it doesn't flow off my tongue well when I say it out loud. I can see the appeal though when I look at it.
Elspeth Penelope
Elspeth Genevieve
Elspeth Quinn
Elspeth Natalie
Elspeth Charlise

I've been horrible about suggesting middle names lately, so I hope those help. Honestly can't even come up with my own middle names at the moment :/

And I have to say: Oh. My. Goodness! I adore Theodora lately!! Mike hates it, so it'll never be an option. But it just seems so precious to me <3 That happened to me though, I never saw the appeal until I started hearing it more <3 I haven't really seen much of the whole Oz thing but I now want to see it if theres someone named Theodora in it :') is it sad I'm motivated in such a silly way?


I hope this helps!!
