Florence Adelaide is nice.
Albie Jude would have been nice if it was Albion Jude.
Albie Jude would have been nice if it was Albion Jude.
If anyone is a fan of Flight of the Conchords, they will see Albie Jude and think "Albie the Racist Dragon".... hmmm. Funny, but not exactly positive thing to associate with a little kid. They could have avoided it by naming the little guy Albert instead. Poor guy.
Otherwise, I love Elodie Sophia, Cicely Violet, and once upon a time I would have used Hebe Ann myself :)

Zinzan is very interesting but Rollo only makes me think of the sweets.
Some sibsets I found interesting:
Orla, Basil and Digby - Basil and Digby seem so old but in a sophisticated way. I also noticed that there was another Digby in the BAs.
Merlin and Theodora - I'm surprised to see those names in a sibset. I think they belong to two very different naming styles, but on the other hand I think it's a good thing that people use the names they like and not desperately try to find names that 'match'.
Poppy, Rosy and Harry - way too cutesy imo
Tilly and Purdey - To be honest I think these are more suitable for cats than girls
I keep saying it but I really like that fact that it seems popular to use two middle names.
