[Opinions] Re: Do these twin names work together?
Well, Tobiah, Isaiah and Zachariah is faaar too much, but Tobias seems to stick out like a sore thumb. Are you stuck on the Tob- names? It's just that I can't warm to them either way, even as a bystander to the naming. Your choice, but it's either gonna be weird and Children-of-the-corn-y or disjointed, in my opinion.Malachi is okay, but Malachy is nicer.Rosette is...argh, I'm not gonna be mean, but it's not my style at all. I think it's very out-of-dated and won't work well in real life.Rosalie Seraphina is pretty but not interesting. It's nice but a little frilly and a little dull. It's very BtN-ish, very namenerdish and maybe a little bit flimsy. I think it needs a more sensible first or middle name to ground that whimsy.Eh, I'd go for the 'safer' (according to some) but more practical Tobias and Rosalie. Tobiah could work, if you want to be super matchy with boys' names, but I really wouldn't go for Rosette.

Thank you. What would you pick instead of what we've chosen?I do want to use and "angel" type name for the middle spot and Rose or a version of that must be in the girls name, it honors my family.

Rose names - what about Rosalind or Rosamund? Both have a Rose element, and plenty of nickname choices.
Failing that, Rose and Rosa -as first names- could be quite charming. They might seem dull, but in this day and age they're a breath of fresh air.Seraphina is a nice enough name, but with a very girly first name it's too much. What about Seraphine? It's more subdued but just as feminine.Angel name suggestions:
Gabriel could become Gabriella or Gabrielle
Raphael could become Raphaelle or Raphaela or Rafaela
Michael has lots of female variants
Ariel could work as a girls' name these days? Or you could try Ariella or Arielle. Not my style, but another angel name.Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
