I love Rowan and Saoirse together! I also like Duncan and Rosalie a lot (although maybe not together).

I think Callum is nice and it goes well with your other children's names. I also like Duncan, James and Owen. For the girls I like Phoebe, Evelyn, and Rosalie best but they're all good!

Are you sure about brothers Seamus and James? Seems like too much of a good thing to me.I like Wynne and Phoebe best from your girl list. They seem less trendy and more energetic and fun-loving. Darby and Darcy just turn me right off, as do Violet and Viola for different reasons.On the boy side, I like Rory for a boy but I'm not clear how you derive it from Riordan. Just Rory would be fine. I also like Rowan, and could live happily with Desmond or Duncan. Rowan Jack, perhaps? Rowan Desmond?

I realized that after I posted the original thread. James is off the list now.

My faves are Jack and Rosalie. I also like Viola and to a lesser degree, Phoebe. James is great, but Seamus and James... as a previous poster pointed out. The rest of the names are a bit too trendy for me.

Anneliese, Seamus, Scarlett, Callum and Phoebe. Those would be my pick. Great naming so far, by the way. And your list of options is very nice. Personally, I'd strick Forbes and Macaulay off the boys list as they just don't seem to fit. Ditto for Darby and Darcy on the girls list.
All the best.

Well, my favorite name on the boys list is Ezra, but I don't think it's the best match for your other kids names.I'd go with James, Rowan or DesmondFor a girl, I like Violet or Evelyn.

Ooh! I love Riordan Thane! I've never heard Thane before, but I like it a lot! Well done, thank you.
I also love Phoebe Wynne

I would have said James, but since Seamus is a form of James, that wouldn't be good. My choices from your list would be Ezra and Phoebe, definitely.

You're right, I didn't even think about that! I guess that scratches Ames as well.
