[Opinions] Linus and Eustace?
Which combination do you like better with Eustace:
Eustace Miles (if you didnt notice this, does it sound to much like Eustace Smiles?)
Eustace Draško (DRAHSH-ko)
Which combination do you like better with Linus:
Linus Caspian
Linus Joshua
Linus Immanuel
or maybe:
Linus Peter
Linus Reuel (ROO-el)
Linus Verner
Linus Eirik (AY-rick or EYE-rick)
Linus Olav nn Ollie
Linus Octavian
Linus Caleb
You can suggest some middle names for Linus. Names I usually go for are less common but not odd sounding names. :)

Being a P.G. Wodehouse addict, I can't take my eyes off of Eustace Miles. Linus is wonderful too and I voted for Linus Immanuel on your poll. :-)
I love both Linus and Immanuel individually. But I need a harder consonant somewhere among all those lovely liquid L, M, and N sounds. Perhaps that's just what you love about it, the absence of a hard sound. I can see that too.
Linus Caspian ia a tad hissy and Linus Joshua a bit of a tongue twister, for me at least. The S of Linus right next to the J of Joshua is difficult, and then to be followed by a "sh" sound . . . . Might I suggest Linus Everard, Linus Emeric or Linus Melchior?
