I love Lily, Olivia, Hope (MN only), Grace, and Oliver and Alice.Grace on a boy is very odd, and Lettic, while legit, is horrible.

Harriet Lily - nice, a little boring
Ruby-Ella - I hate Ruby but I like Ella. Together it reminds me of rubella.
Emilie Olivia - really nice, I know Emily is overused bu this spelling is not and I prefer it.
Lettice Hope - Lettice awful, but Lettie is nice and Lettie Hope is really sweet.James Edward Grace - boring, apart from Grace, which is just a little strange.
Taylor Alfie - I like it.Oliver and Alice - both nice names, but a little too common, especially Alice. However they go well together.

Nooo!Ruby-Ella? Didn't we just have a post on words that wouldn't really make good names? Wasn't Rubella one of them? Seems someone thought they could get around that, eh?

LOLI hadn't even noticed that Ruby-Ella looked like Rubella. Poor kid!

Harriet Lily - I just love this combo. Very sweet. Some people will say Harriet is only suitable for an old lady but I strongly disagree. Ruby-Ella - again some may say extremely old fashion but I say refreshing. This will age so much better than the trendy names like Hailey, Kaylee, etc..Emilie Olivia - The French spelling is nice but Emily is way too popular now. In my opinion whatever charm it had is lost now due to its popularity. Lettice Hope (the short article in the newspaper said she will go by the nn Lettie) - When first saw this name I was thinking 'let us hope' I like unusual names but this name sounds and looks a bit silly. I would have gone with Charlotte and used the nickname Lottie or just used Lottie on its own. James Edward Grace - I'm thinking Grace maybe a family surname and they are honoring someone. James is pretty boring to me, overused. Taylor Alfie - Taylor again is overused and a whole lot parents are naming daughters this, it’s becoming quite trendy on girls. Alfie is sweet. Twins: Oliver and Alice - These two names are perfect together. I will always love the name Alice thanks to Lewis Carroll.

I don't think this version if Letitia has been used since the seventeenth century. Oh gosh! I'd never do this to a girl! All those "Let Us" and rabbit food jokes for ever more, and all those misspellings Lettuce!
(Had to edit my misspelling of mispelling!)

All I see with it is "let us hope." I think that might have been what they were going for.
