HelpTilly and June
Juniper Faith is the newest combo we are playing around with. What do you think? I really want to make sure it fits with the rest of the names as we are very attached to them. Any and all opinions / comments / suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

I just love Juniper. The nn's June and Juni are so cute. Faith has never been a favorite of mine. I prefer the names Hope, Grace and Joy.
I use to know a cute little girl named Faith. Her sister was named Amanda. Amanda was my sisters best friend for one year but then she changed schools.
I don't know why I dislike Faith. It just seems over the top to me. I guess I do prefer it as a middle name since it has less of an over the top feel to it. Juniper Faith doesn't sound bad as a combo. If you guys like it you should use it. Just because Faith isn't my style doesn't mean that you shouldn't use it.
As I've said before I love Matilda Brooke especially when Brooke is spelled Brook.
I think I've said it before but I love the combo Everett Charles.
Bowen Piper isn't my style but a male friend of my partner and I has the mn Piper and I like it. Though I admit I do prefer Piper for a girl I feel that it works for a boy. Bowen isn't my style but it's a cool name and it isn't much different than Owen. So it's unusual but not too out there. Plus I love that it's a family name of you guys.
I think that Tilly and June would be great together as sisters. So would June and Everett or Tilly and Everett. Tilly and Bowen or June and Bowen, I also feel like they work. Everett and Bowen works as well.

Oh my gosh, not sure I can adequately express my appreciation for Tilly and June/Juni as sisters. That is awesome! I think that Everett goes extremely well with Matilda and Juniper. Bowen, on the other hand, feels trendy and shallow compared to the depth of the others.
Also, that combo is my least favourite. Bowen doesn't feel particularly masculine to begin with, so Piper doesn't seem like the best middle name choice.
But yeah, may I say again: You should definitely use Matilda, Juniper, and Everett!

Juniper Faith is a nice combo. Juniper is definitely growing on me lately. I like June as a nickname, too, but I don't really like Juni.
Matilda Brooke is cute. I prefer the nickname Matti or Tilda to Tilly, but that's personal preference. Tilly is a bit frilly for my tastes.
Everett Charles sounds very kingly. It sounds a little stuffy to me. If Charles isn't very important to you, I'd consider changing it to something a little "fresher" to balance Everett out.
Bowen Piper is not my favorite. Bowen definitely sounds like a boy's name. For that matter, is this a boy's name? Piper is normally used for a girl, so that's why I assumed it was for a girl, but I suppose Piper could be unisex. That said, I do not like it at all for a girl. Maybe Briona or even Beryl, Briony, or Piper Blair?
For a boy, I guess it's better than Owen (always sounds weak to me), but I prefer other "B" names like Benjamin, Bryant, Brandon, etc. It's not horrid for a boy, though, just different. I'd like Boden/Bodan or Bowden/Bowdan better, just for the sound of it.
good luck!

sorry for the confusion, Bowen Piper is a boys name. Bowen is my husbands great-grandfathers last name, he had all girls and no siblings so the name was lost after him, so we're bringing it back (maybe). Piper is the name of the plane my husband pilots and according to him the "original Piper" the plane was named after was a man.

thanks! i take it back! haha
I think those are great honoring choices! Knowing why you like those names makes it 10 times better! funny how that is. Bowen isn't a terribly weird name because it is similar to Owen, and so many names like Brady and Brody and Bodhi are out there now that he wouldn't be made fun of or anything. And the combo flows well, too.
So I take it back! go for it!

Juniper Faith nn June or Juni: Juniper is just silly to me, like trying way too hard to be cutesy and fantasy-novel. Juniper Faith sounds like a silly literary euphemism for being dependent on gin. June is very nice and I think having it be a nn for Juniper lessens its dignity.
Matilda Brooke nn Tilly: Very Hollywood tryndee, and I think Matilda is ugly anyway. Tilly sounds like a flaky old lady who is easy prey to every scam artist to come through town.
Everett Charles: Nice.
Bowen Piper: Piper is a silly little-girl name to me,and doesn't at all fit well with Bowen. Bowen Piper sounds like some musical instrument.
