I'm actually quite fond of Kinga, I met one at a Theatre festival and it was very pretty when she said it. I'm not sure it's the best name in English, but it's pretty.
I'm not hugely fond of Charles but Charles Edward is a really handsome classic name.
No one else can name babies apparently. Scout "for Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird" really annoys me, it was a nickname! It just seems like justification for using a cutesy trendy name. I've never once heard someone say they were using Jean or Jean Louise because they were big fans of To Kill a Mockingbird it's always Harper or Scout. /end rant

The "name" Scout makes me want to throw up. It's stupid even for a dog. And Scout wasn't even the character's real name, just a nickname her father gave her, like he might call a boy Sonny or Sport. Now if somebody named a daughter Jean Louise and said it was after the character I'd think it was both attractive and showed they really had some perspective.
Wolfe Watts sounds pretty silly. As does Lolita Luella. Lolita is trashy in its own right and Luella has a very Tobacco Road vibe to it. Together it's awful. I don't care if Luella is after her dead sister, it is ugly and even uglier with Lolita.
Charles Edward is very nice.

Kinga Rose - it's cute. I used to know a Kinga, but she was Hungarian.
Wolfe - not awful, but not great either.
Hudson James Sebastian - James Sebastian is nice, but Hudson, nah...
Charles Edward ‘Charlie’ - it's fine, a bit boring, though.
Scout Edie - ick. I love To Kill a Mockingbird, but I don't like the name Scout. And Edie sounds too masculine on a girl.
Lolita-Luella - Lolita is horrible and I think it's kind of creepy to name a child after a deceased sibling...
Skout, Indhi, Memphys, Tallulah and Sadie - awful sibset. I can accept Tallulah and Sadie, the other names are just horrible!
Wolfe - not awful, but not great either.
Hudson James Sebastian - James Sebastian is nice, but Hudson, nah...
Charles Edward ‘Charlie’ - it's fine, a bit boring, though.
Scout Edie - ick. I love To Kill a Mockingbird, but I don't like the name Scout. And Edie sounds too masculine on a girl.

Edie isn’t pronounced like Eddie, it's EE-dee.
Yeah, I’m not into the whole honoring a deceased sibling thing, but in this case I think it's meaningful. Here's the whole story – http://waltzingmorethanmatilda.com//?s=Jarrad+McVeigh+&search=Go. I just wish they'd made it a middle name and not a hyphenated one.

Jarrad McVeigh and Clem's story about losing Luella was quite big news here. It was heartbreaking :( I'm so happy for them that they delivered a healthy little girl but I really don't like the hyphenated first name and her deceased sister's name being in there. I think that little girl will have to grow up in the 'shadow' of Luella anyway with them being born so close together, and I can't see how having the same fn as her will help things.
