D?: _____ (nb)Okay, I love that you've designated some as MN options (I personally put some in as MN options, but didn't feel like designating at that time in case it was something Elisabeth loved).One MN or two? And if we do two, do you want to have one be in a different style (classic? vintage? timeless? ethnic? etc.) that Elisabeth loves? I only ask because I've (IRL) got two boys and I now regret using only one MN... if I were to have any more children, I think I might actually switch it up and start using two MNs. (Sadly enough, I've even considered giving my 5 year-old and 7 year-old a second MN even if it's not official... and maybe making it official!)And finally, do you want to throw around some possible combos? Here are some combos that Thelonius likes: (ps. Thelonius likes to mix it up, so an animal FN with a MN other then animal, or a plant FN with a MN other then plant, etc.)Peregrine "Pippin" Gray Cunningham

D?: _____ (nb)Future possible combos:1.) "Pippin" Peregrine Edgar Gray Cunningham - Just my favorite of the names
2.) Poe Hickory Elliott Cunningham - Second favorite
3.) Rowan Leonard Wolfe Cunningham - Third favorite... but edges higher up because of the sentimentality and bond the older children might have with the name
      ***See Bottom***
4.) "Finn" Griffin Reginald Sage Cunningham - Final favorite1.) Robin Theodora Pearl Cunningham - Robin to honor Elisabeth and Theodora to honor Thelonius
2.) Saffran Eleanora Faye Cunningham - Second favorite
3.) Violet Laura Scout Cunningham - Third favorite
4.) Heather Edith Felicity Cunningham - Final favoriteLooking over previous family names, I decided to try and find some vintage/classic names for the second MN. I wanted them to be just quirky enough to work as a compromise for Thelonius' tastes combined with Elisabeth's style (as shown with the other names used), but also have a definite old-fashioned feel.For the most part, all of the MNs have been consistently on the popularity charts for USA. There are two exceptions. The more elaborate Eleanora has fallen to disuse in favor of the less frilly Eleanor... However, I felt that with the short MN of Faye, the more elaborate Eleanora worked better in this instance. The other name that is more vintage then timeless is Theodora. However, it was chosen as a way to honor Thelonius, and the masculine form of Theodore has been consistently on the popularity charts for the USA.
