Elisabeth "Ellie" - Love Elisabeth, love Elizabeth more but I can get over it. Ellie isn't my preferred nickname, but it's cute. I've been on a big Eli as a nn for Elizabeth kick lately (Eliza's my favorite).
Madeleine - nice enough.
Natalie - can't get on the Natalie train. Seems like it's trying SO hard to be a classic but it's not quite making it (kind of like Samantha).
Rose - I don't know why I dislike this name so much.
Ann / Anne - I love Anne, but it has to have an "e".
Hermione - sounds like "hiney" to me. :/
Catherine - LOVE! Prefer with a "K". You can thank Anne of Green Gables for that.
Virginia - love.
Mary - love.
Lily - nice enough. Rose and Lily seem to be the big flower names du jour, but I've got a thing for Camellia.

Boys
Robert - like but don't love.
Thomas - love. So handsome. I'm even starting to warm to the nickname Tom, but never Tommy.
Damien - Hmm... this name doesn't seem to fit with your other names.
Elijah - cute.
Vincent - really like this also.
Ignatius - nice as a middle name.
Gregory - really like this also.
Augustus / Augustine - love!
Joseph - it's growing on me.
Alden - I have a soft spot for this name too. It's got such a pretty sound but I worry that it's too close to the ever trendy Aidan.
