huh, why so many As? Addison seems a little funny to me next to the rest; it makes sense because they use other surnames but still sticks out to me as modern-trendy.

Dime? Better than Bibsy, at least.

I notice all of his kids have one syllable MNs, and I don't like the flow of Leigh Hunt Bierce - don't like Leigh or Hunt individually either. Somebody must have loved the name Ray.

Funnily enough, I was literally just randomly thinking about Ambrose Bierce. Like, the fact he existed just popped into my head and... I have no idea why. He's an interesting historical figure, although I don't know enough about him to say anything more than that.

I don't mind Ambrose, as long as it's paired with other fusty, stuffy, spooky names. I dont think it can be modern.
Marcus Aurelius is a hell of a name.
I don't hate Augustus. And I like Amelia Josephine and Albert. Almeda could grow on me. The rest are nms.
Day is an interesting nickname. Shame that from a quick scan of Bierce's wiki page that he wasn't that great a guy though.

I like Marcus, Laura, Abigail, Amelia, Ann, Sophia, Andrew, Jackson, Ellen

Helen Ray is very chic! Albert Sherwood is dashing.

His parents:
Marcus Aurelius Bierce-Marcus Aurelius is probably my favorite historical figure…but I definitely wouldn’t name a kid that.
Laura Sherwood Bierce-No strong feelings
His siblings:
Abigail Bell-I like it
Amelia Josephine-Beautiful
Ann Marie-Kind of pretty
Addison-Dislike
Aurelius-Again, nice association, but I wouldn’t use it
Augustus-I prefer August
Almeda Sophia-Love Sophia, never heard Almeda, but it’s pretty
Andrew Jackson "Dime"-Dime is an interesting nickname
Albert Sherwood-Dislike
Arthur-Nice, strong name
Adelia-Pretty
Aurelia-I named a book character this(she goes by Relia). I would seriously consider using it as a middle name. Awesome name.
His wife:
Mary Ellen "Mollie" Day Bierce-Dislike Mollie, prefer Helen to Ellen. Mary is pretty, but I prefer Marie or Maria.
His children:
Raymond Day "Day"-Not my thing
Leigh Hunt - son-Okay, not really my thing
Helen Ray "Bibsy"-Helen is my favorite name…but I dislike Ray and “Bibsy” quite a bit.
