Delighted by Innes and Ishbel! "Oluwatobiloba is a boy's name of Yoruba origin meaning 'God is a great king'", acccording to Google; it seems to be used mostly by men, who also seem to go by Tobi. Ruaraidh Daniel is an astonishing way to achieve a son called Rory! I think my favourite, though I wouldn't use it myself, has got to be Milo Columbus John - all so different, and yet they work so well together.
Calypso, Orfeas, and Titania, wow!
While I hate Sarah, Sarah Celestina is so susurrant and lovely. I also quite like Bruno Amedeo and Kitty Isadora.
