I noticed Augustine x 2. I wonder how they're pronouncing it. ? I live near St. Augustine, FL and it's prn. AW-gus-teen. But I would assume it's more like Augustin / Augusten (aw-GUS-ten), which I love. :)

Oh, they are very Times/ Telegraph. But I love a lot of them, the name-snob part of me can't help it!
Alfonso Juniper - Yes, I'm not super keen on Juniper on a boy, but I don't love it on a girl either. Alfonso is great though.
Alfred Erol David- Alfred is wonderful. Erol is nms and David is bland.
Algernon Basil- I really like this! Basil is gorgeous.
Arthur Hywel Peredur (Alasdair)- Arthur Hywel is great. I'm not sure what to make of Peredur. Alasdair is ok, I prefer Alastair.
Arthur Percy Leo- I like all the names. Percy still reminds me of Blackadder though. I think this is my favourite of these first few.
Augustine Geoffrey Hugh (Ollie, Fleur and Cosmo)- I really like this! I'd slightly prefer Augustus, but it is fabulous. And a great sibset if Ollie is a nn for Oliver. I have a soft spot for Cosmo and although I'm not keen on the sound of Fleur, I think it fits here. Flora might have been slightly nice though.
Barnaby Hector (Finlay)- Fantastic, I love it. Finlay is fine.
Alfonso Juniper - Yes, I'm not super keen on Juniper on a boy, but I don't love it on a girl either. Alfonso is great though.
Alfred Erol David- Alfred is wonderful. Erol is nms and David is bland.

Lol, if you think they sound snobby now, what do you think they sound like with titles and double-barrelled surnames ;)
I do like a lot of the names, but a lot of the combos are a bit much for me.
