Kinga Rose - it's cute. I used to know a Kinga, but she was Hungarian.Wolfe - not awful, but not great either.Hudson James Sebastian - James Sebastian is nice, but Hudson, nah...Charles Edward ‘Charlie’ - it's fine, a bit boring, though.Scout Edie - ick. I love To Kill a Mockingbird, but I don't like the name Scout. And Edie sounds too masculine on a girl.Lolita-Luella - Lolita is horrible and I think it's kind of creepy to name a child after a deceased sibling...Skout, Indhi, Memphys, Tallulah and Sadie - awful sibset. I can accept Tallulah and Sadie, the other names are just horrible!

Edie isn’t pronounced like Eddie, it's EE-dee. Yeah, I’m not into the whole honoring a deceased sibling thing, but in this case I think it's meaningful. Here's the whole story – http://waltzingmorethanmatilda.com//?s=Jarrad+McVeigh+&search=Go. I just wish they'd made it a middle name and not a hyphenated one.

Jarrad McVeigh and Clem's story about losing Luella was quite big news here. It was heartbreaking :( I'm so happy for them that they delivered a healthy little girl but I really don't like the hyphenated first name and her deceased sister's name being in there. I think that little girl will have to grow up in the 'shadow' of Luella anyway with them being born so close together, and I can't see how having the same fn as her will help things.
