Evey Rae, Morph, Kitty, Nat, Marlo, and Scarlet Carson.
Those're what I'm feeling right now. Angelorum, I would be pronouncing ahn-guh-LOR-oom. Thoughts? Comments? Any and every reaction is appreciated. :)
Thank you.

DD: Evening Rae - I dont like many word names and those I do like I prefer in the middle name spot
DS: Morpheus Michael both names are okay but I wouldnt use them together
DD/DS: Katharine Angelorum, Nathaniel Pleasant - I love Katherine Angelorum the combo flows beautifully and though Angelorum isnt my style I love the sound of it, Nathaniel is a great name but I cant warm to Pleasant, I keep misreading it as Pheasant
DD: Margalo Mary - Margalo is interesting and I love Mary but I dont like the repetiveness of the combo
DS: Edmond Cornelius - love it
DD: Scarlet Carson Edith - love Edith but cant warm to Scarlet Carson
Just to add that every site I have looked at seems to list Margalo as a form of Margaret, of corse I know how inaccurate most of the site's are so would be interested in knowing if this is true

DD: Evening Rae - Terrific.
DS: Morpheus Michael - Equally so.
DD/DS: Katharine Angelorum, Nathaniel Pleasant - Still better.
DD: Margalo Mary - Meh. Cutesy.
DS: Edmond Cornelius - Too well matched.
DD: Scarlet Carson Edith - Better as Edith Scarlet Carson, I think.
I love the sibset (would probably keel over if I ever met these children), but am not crazy about some of the nicknames...Kitty especially gets my goat.

DD: Evening Rae-- Eh. Together its cute, but unless you say her full name every single time, Evening just seems like a word. But it is better than a lot of other word names or created names out there, I will give you that. Evey Rae is cute.
DS: Morpheus Michael-- I would prefer Michael Morpheus, otherwise you come off sounding like you have seen the Matrix way too many times. Morpheus feels like it sets up too many unrealistic expectations for your son.
DD/DS: Katharine Angelorum, Nathaniel Pleasant-- I love both Katharine and Nathaniel (prefer Nathanael). Everytime I see Angelorum I have to look twice, because at first glance I see the word "algorithm." And Pleasant I just don't like. But the flow is fine, so if you like them, you go name your hypothetical kids Angelorum and Pleasant!
DD: Margalo Mary-- I like. Yes the double "mar" is repetitive, but in this instance it seems to work.
DS: Edmond Cornelius-- I prefer Edmund, but overall I very much like this combo.
DD: Scarlet Carson Edith-- I know you see Scarlet Carson as one name, and I am all for that, however most people won't see it that way. Registration forms for schooling and such will be all the more complicated for it. In that case I would urge you to make it Scarlet-Carson or even ScarletCarson (though please dont do that). It would make life so much simpler for your daughter and those who have to deal with her paperwork. Scarlet Carson Edith is okay, but Edith seems a little anticlimactic after Scarlet Carson.

DD: Evening Rae - it sounds like someone is saying Good Evening to someone named Rae, but Evey Rae is lovely :)
DS: Morpheus Michael - isn't Morph the little orange plasticine guy? heh. I actually like this combo.
DD/DS: Katharine Angelorum, Nathaniel Pleasant - love Nathaniel Pleasant, Pleasance used to be a fave of mine for a girl. I love the name Katharine
DD: Margalo Mary - interesting. Love the nn Marlo
DS: Edmond Cornelius - what happened to Edmond Clair? though I like this as well :)
DD: Scarlet Carson Edith - I like it. Edie would be a very sweet sister for Evey Rae (not saying your planning to use that)
I love your eccentric (but not overly so) choices :)

DD: Evening Rae - This name continues to grow on me. It's eccentric, certainly, but it has nickname possibilities and the middle name Rae to bring it down to earth a little bit, so I think it works.
DS: Morpheus Michael - Morpheus, on the other hand, hasn't grown on me. It's just not a name that I can imagine any human being ever living up to, and the lack of nicknames (aside from Morph, which is along the same lines as Morpheus) also works against it.
DD/DS: Katharine Angelorum, Nathaniel Pleasant - I like both of these, although I prefer the look of Angelorum to the sound. I'm not a big fan of Pleasant, but it sounds nice with Nathaniel, and it works as a middle name.
DD: Margalo Mary - How are you pronouncing Margalo? I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the first name, but I the nickname Marlo has a nice spunky retro feel to it that I really like. And I love Mary.
DS: Edmond Cornelius - I prefer the spelling Edmund, but Edmond is nice too. Something about the flow of Edmond Cornelius feels off, though.
DD: Scarlet Carson Edith - I'm not a big fan of Scarlet Carson. The repeated "car" sound in both names makes it a very harsh-sounding combo to my ears. The blatant movie connection doesn't really appeal to me either (even though I love the movie). Have you thought about Scarlet Carson or Scarlet-Carson as a double middle name? Edith Scarlet Carson, perhaps?
DS: Morpheus Michael - Morpheus, on the other hand, hasn't grown on me. It's just not a name that I can imagine any human being ever living up to, and the lack of nicknames (aside from Morph, which is along the same lines as Morpheus) also works against it.

DD: Evening Rae - I don't like word names, or Rae, but Evey Rae is cute
DS: Morpheus Michael - I don't like either name, and they don't feel right together because they seem so different in style.
DD/DS: Katharine Angelorum, Nathaniel Pleasant - I like Catherine (not the K spelling) & Kitty, feel the same about Katherine Angelorum as Morpheus Michael, and actually love Nathaniel Pleasant.
DD: Margalo Mary - I don't like the double Mar- names, seems too rhyme-y. Same as Morpheus Michael. Like Marlo.
DS: Edmond Cornelius - love it, very traditional.
DD: Scarlet Carson Edith - I don't really like any of these names, though I do prefer Scarlet to Scarlett. I also don't like Carson on a girl or the double 'car' sound.
What do Margalo & Angelorum mean and come from?

Angelorum is "angels" in Latin (as is Angeli, the only other Angel- name I like). There are specific grammatical rules about which one is used, but I'm more than willing to admit that I don't care about those. :D Angelorum, I associate with the Christmas carol "Adeste Fideles" (the line in particular being Natum videte, regem angelorum... or "Behold the newborn, king of the angels"). And Angeli, I pulled from a very old musical text called "Psallite."
Margalo is the bird in E.B. White's Stuart Little. I'm not sure of its origin--definitely an interesting question, since he wasn't the first to use it. Stuart Little was published in 1945, and by that point, an actress called Margalo Gillmore had been acting for almost thirty years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margalo_Gillmore
I wish I had more details on where the name comes from, heh. I should ask over on Facts sometime. Thank you for your opinions. :)

"Angelorum" technically means "of angels" (regem angelorum = "king of angels"), whereas "Angeli" just means "angels" (as used as the subject of a sentence). Just thought I'd let my Classics degree be useful. :) I think Angelorum is quite lovely, btw.

It is useful! :D Thank you for telling me that--I find Latin confusing as all get-out, heh, but I love saying Angelorum. And I like "of angels" better than simply "angels," I think. :)

I was curious about the meaning of the name myself, I thought it was pretty, so I did a quick google search. Admittedly I did not check the results at various places, so I could easily be mistaken.
The first sight said it was only a variation of Margaret, which also means Pearl.
http://www.yeahbaby.com/baby-name.php?name=Margolo
The second site
http://www.cutebabyname.com/margolo.html
was more specific.
I continued searching and have found several other sites that all agree it is a Greek name meaning pearl.

DD: Evening Rae- I don't think Evening can pass for a name yet. Maybe someday. I like Rae.
DS: Morpheus Michael- Morpheus? Isn't that a little sci-fi? There can't be anything wrong with Michael.
DD/DS: Katharine Angelorum, Nathaniel Pleasant- Prefer Catherine Angelorum is nmsaa. How about a different Angel name. Nathaniel is a favorite and I actually think Pleasant works nicely.
DD: Margalo Mary- hmm not sure what I think of Margalo, it's not bad. But Margot or Marlo would be a lot easier. Mary is lovely.
DS: Edmond Cornelius- very society. I think it's nice but doesn't match the innovation of your other names.
DD: Scarlet Carson Edith- Why the two mns all of the sudden. Either pair would work beautifully.
DS: Morpheus Michael- Morpheus? Isn't that a little sci-fi? There can't be anything wrong with Michael.
