in reply to a message by FamilySaga
Hello!
These are my answers on the sign up thread:
1. Is popularity a big issue for you?
Not really. I'd use a very popular name if I liked it but I would avoid very popular / filler middle names.
2. How would you describe your naming style?
I like classic and modern names from all/most languages. I dislike creative spellings and most made up names but there are exeptions.
3. Is the meaning of a name important to you?
Yes, but it's not a deal-braker.
4. Please list 3 names of each gender that you love.
Aurora, Phaedra, Helena & Henry, Alexander, Sebastian.
From your lists I like (* means I really like):
* Eastgate
* Sauvage
Sutherland
Callahan
Drury
Cecily (but prefer Cecilia)
Melaina
Moira
Lucia
Catalina (but I prefer other forms of Catherine)
Wren
* Helena
* Magdalene (pr. MAG-də-lən but I don't mind other pronunciations)
Kerensa
* Anais
* Sophia
Nell (as a short form of Eleanor/Elanor)
Grace
Celeste
* William
* Alan
* Jude
* Lucas
Quentin
Steffan (prefer Stephan)

Okay, let's see...
From your lists I like:
Fay
Hollis
Catherine
Eleanor
Stella
Alexandra
I especially like Fay and Hollis, now that I think about it. Hollis is on my PNL but I just tend to overlook it sometimes.
Paul
Riordan (Funny, I just added this to my PNL last night!)
John
Alexander
Nathan / Nathaniel (I never can decide which one I prefer, but I'm leaning toward Nathaniel at the moment)
Henry
I think of the five, Callahan is my favorite surname, but I also like Sauvage a lot. How about Sauvage as a married name and Drury as a maiden name? Or Callahan as married and Sauvage as maiden? On the other hand, Eastgate might be a better fit since it seems like we have more Irish and English names on our lists and Sauvage sounds more French...then again, we also have Anais and Celeste.
So for DH and DW names, do we select from our list or choose names that aren't on it? I tend to think of these all as baby names so I figure we'd go for something a little different for the parents, but I don't really have a preference. Well, here's a couple of ideas to start with:
Nathaniel James Callahan / Sutherland
Ethan John Callahan / Sutherland
Ethan Xavier Callahan / Sutherland

Hmmm,
I really like Joanna Grace Drury, I think it flows very well! We could change Joanna to Helena (He-LAY-na) so we can use a name from our lists.
I prefer the other 3 surnames over Callahan for DH. Maybe we could use Ethan John Sauvage, Ethan Jude Sutherland, Lucas Xavier Eastgate or something like that!

Should we make a few combos? I'd like to use Magdalene or Nathaniel for their first child.

I always liked the sound of Magdalene Anais. Not sure how I feel about it with Sauvage, though, since it ends with S. But it's a possibility.
Magdalene Anais Sauvage
Magdalene Wren Sauvage (I think this flows much better than Magdalene Anais)
Magdalene Eleanor Sauvage
Magdalene Kerensa Sauvage
Magdalene Stella Sauvage
Nathaniel Riordan Sauvage
Nathaniel Ezra Sauvage
Nathaniel Eamonn Sauvage
I also tend toward William, Lucia or Melaina for their first child. Let's see...
William Nathaniel Sauvage
William Stellan Sauvage
William Ezra Sauvage
William Lucas Sauvage
Lucia Magdalene Sauvage
Lucia Celeste Sauvage
Lucia Kerensa Sauvage
Melaina Catherine Sauvage
Melaina Wren Sauvage
Melaina Fay Sauvage
By the way, I'm using the Italian pronunciation for Lucia, Lu-CHEE-a. Is that what you use? I don't mind Lu-SEE-a, and LU-sha doesn't work with as many middle names, but LU-sha would be my second favorite pronunciation.
Magdalene Anais Sauvage
Magdalene Wren Sauvage (I think this flows much better than Magdalene Anais)
Magdalene Eleanor Sauvage
Magdalene Kerensa Sauvage
Magdalene Stella Sauvage
Nathaniel Riordan Sauvage
Nathaniel Ezra Sauvage
Nathaniel Eamonn Sauvage

Magdalene Anais Sauvage is great! I don't mind the "s" part because in real life the middle name isn't used often and I don't think it ruins the flow. I also like Melaina Fay & Lucia Magdalene / Magdalen Lucia. I like all pronunciations for Lucia. Lu-CHEE-a is fine.
For a boy I like Nathaniel Riordan and Lucas William / William Lucas. What about Nathaniel Jude?
